The Ruger is not cheap, about 1600 out the door. It is piston Driven, which means it stays way cleaner, and IMHO will run longer and be more reliable in a SHTF scenario. It's also way lighter than any other common .308 semi-auto magazine fed rifles I have seen. It also uses LR/SR 308 magazines which my DPMS also uses. I love the rifle. I did however, replace the trigger (Geissele SSA-e), as most stock rifles today have awful, military triggers.
