[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 179363, member: 8843"] If the gun is just gonna be for stationary shooting and not gonna be packed around or needed to be brough into service fast then the weight has no differance so i would get the 20 or 24" barrel as you will only be gaining speed and slowing the recoil impulse. One note though , I would definalty shop around , you can get way better deals than just buying a DPMS or any other complete rifle out right. you can buy a complete kit loaded with what you would want in a gun like this , minus the stripped lower for $600 and the stripped lower is only another $125 max and if you like you can get a stainless lower. So for around $800 you can get a heavy SS barreled AR with a Badger forend and alot of places will alter your package to your wants. AR's are better than Savages when it comes to guys doing the work at home , they are like legos just plug the parts together. If you get the urge to have a short fast handeling rifle for say rapid coyote shooting then you can pay a $200 SBR tax and get a 14" AR chambered in 6mm-223 , they feed better than the regular 223 and shoot flatter with 55gr bullets ,they have longer barrel life and are more effecient so very little velocity is lost , I can run 55gr bullets out of my 14" as fast maybe faster than I can run 55gr pills out of a 20" barreled 223 [/QUOTE]
