I’ve got a DPMS LR-308 and an Oracle in 223/5.56.

I got them both to carry in the truck while on the ranch. First of the both come with junk triggers and had to be replaced which isn’t a problem but shouldn’t need to be done especially considering the price of the LR. When I say truck gun we’re talking about a rifle that’s going to spend all it’s time riding shotgun for quick access for coyotes and feral hog’s. The LR is a beast in weight and the 19 round mag hangs up on everything. I got some 10 rd P-Mags for the Oracle and that made a huge difference in handling and quickly getting it out the window of the truck. The little Oracle is the hands down winner when it comes to being more user friendly so far. With the lightweight model I might give the new DPMS another look but only with a 10rd mag and not in 308, I’ve never liked that round, 243 or 260 would be a much better round for hunting purposes.

The collapsible Recon might be pretty handy at getting out the window but I don’t think it comes in anything other than .308 so you would have to customize it if you wanted that. This is definitely my truck gun but I’m not riding around with it next to me on the front seat ready to go. Ohio state patrol frowns on that. LOL.
