I have DPMS Lower, and it was my first AR-15. The mag release button sticks. I can probably just file it a little, but i believe it is either from workmanship or inspection. Anyway, I don't care for Bass Pro Shop either because they wouldn't even let me look at a firearm in their cases until I produced the MD license to purchase a gun. They wouldn't even talk to me. At the time I was shopping around. In my opinion you will get better customer service from a local gun shop, and many times they will be much cheaper. They will certainly give you the time of day.Sooo, I am looking to purchase my first rifle. I've been watching these 2 rifles at basspro.
1. DPMS Panther Arms Oracle -$530
2. S&W M&P 15 sport 2 -$700
Purpose is primarily for home defense, something to take to the range and something to learn and grow with.
If anyone out there has handled both and has strong opinions about one over the other, especially in regards to reliability, accuracy, suggested ammo, etc. I'd appreciated your feedback.
Thanks
