I got an DPMS AR-15 flat top with a Red Dot sight. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

I have been considering a 7.62 x 39 in an AR format, heavier round, more energy at impact, range is limited to 300 yards and under, but there will be a surplus of ammo, soo I dont know still undecided but would love to hear pro's and cons from gun savy board members.

I got a really cool zebra pattern clutch/wallet for my purse, a pair of Colin Stuart faux fur pom pom boots, time with my family, and then I bought myself my new urban rebounder and a new recumbent bike. During our Dirty Santa game, I won a Scentsy warmer and a bunch of Scentsy bars. I looooove Scentsy! I haven't been laid in a week, though. *sigh* lol

Really depends on your preference of what you want to use it for, target shooting, hunting??. Like you said, 7.62 x 39 you're limited on range, whereas the 308 is going to let you reach out and touch someone plus can take down just about everything out there, not that a well placed shot from anything else can't do the same. 5.56 or 223 are fun to shoot but not much for hunting. Just get one of each

For Christmas, someone gave me a cold. Pretty much laid in bed for 3 days.

Well I am planning to use it for fun, practice and Zombie invasions. I have a bolt tactical in .308 so if I need to reach out and touch someone I can. In most combat situations your not shooting much over 300 yards if that so the AK round will give me more knockdown out to 300 in the AR platform than a 5.56 or .223 So that is what I am leaning towards. DPMS is coming out with a new AR rifle in this caliber, I believe that H&K has one. I like Bushmasters because they have the 16 in bull barrels but I am not sure they have a flattop in this caliber. Decisions decision, I would by several but the wife and I have a deal, she can match my spending LOL.
