Hey Guys, need some major advice.... I'm not a gun-nut or know a lot about guns at all. Been talking to the wife since the horrible stuff happened in CT, sad of course, how tragic & that person is a sick individual. "Never let a good tragedy go to waste" says the Dem leaders in the past, & they sure won't.... I'm not a "paranoid" or freaked out type with stuff BUT... Hand writing is on the wall since this, last Nov's election, etc. & yep, even though not a "gun nut" or "paranoid" - it's time to get a couple guns before these clowns in congress, these genius POLITICIANS take some huge leaps at taking away our 2nd amendment rights, trampling on the LAW-ABIDING GUY'S RIGHT to protect, own the guns that are available now and get it before the "know everything" politicians save us "dumb folks" from ourselves (meanwhile the criminals making no changes)....
SO- I've decided on a semi-auto AR type rifle. I don't know SQUAT though. Basically, you tell me what you'd get. Here's my goals, why I'm going with .308 over a .223, etc, etc.....
- I am combining: hunting weapon (some big game) with defense, right to own something "high capacity" if crap ever hit the fan with national defense, target shooting, versatility, reliability, etc.....
- Can I buy a "standard" type gun where all sorts of parts are available, after-market, customized, interchangeable, etc??? I start researching AR's & I see all sorts of different companies making: triggers, tops, bottoms, barrels, clips, etc.
- At the end of the day, I want a semi-auto, AR, with .308 & 20 round magazine, shooting around 150 grain bullets & carrying a sweet scope. The longer barrel, bull barrel or whatever. Accuracy & hunting & longer range is important.
I'm totally taking a RANDOM example BUT here's an "Armalite, AR-10, .308 with 20 round clip. No idea if any good or what I want or can have scope, blah blah blah????

-I want something less than $2,000 for sure. Sure would be nice to find something awesome for $1500. (THAT'S WITHOUT SCOPE, ETC- BASIC GUN).
Here's a new Remington for $1600 retail BUT we all know it'll be less than $1500 for sure....

-Some of these, like Remington, say "compatible with DPMS clips", etc. Sounds interchangeable to me....
*Remington sounds like it's the same as a DPMS anyways & a couple others. DPMS a real good choice? Remington & DPMS are interchangeable stuff & I'm sure made by same folks.
DPMS LR-308... ($1,199 RETAIL)

-NEED RELIABLE! I want a quality gun company, something that is not going to give me trouble. SOLID! I'll pay more for better, that's for sure!!!
High capacity, variety of rounds, lot of power, versatile, very good for defense, etc is again what I'm looking for & want to do this sooner than later, before the folks some of you elected will be telling me what I am allowed to do for my family, my self, my rights & God forbid- if this nation ever had a conflict like we've seen countless times in the last 100 years. & I promise you, I'm not paranoid, just very realistic & understanding of history, the times & how these Politicians work.
-Where do I buy this? Where's best prices? Awesome long range scopes, etc? What BRAND, MAKE & MODEL?
I'm a beginner here but gonna do this. Thanks a million!
