I've been deciding between a Remington 700 sps tactical or varmint, but lately I've been seeing a lot of the DPMS rifles on here. The SASS is a little out of my price range but how are the LR.308 or LR.308B's? Semi auto is definetly appealing, but how is the accuracy of one of those going to be out of the box compared to a Remington 700 sps varmint?

Re: DPMS and Bolts
One rifle will probably be as accurate as the other.
But the AR will be much more unforgiving of minor shooter errors than the bolt gun.
I would recco a newer shooter to get the bolt until you learn the fundamentals well.

Re: DPMS and Bolts
LR308 owner here. I believe it's a great rifle. Some people complain about feeding issues with their mags but I don't have any of those problems yet. Only ran 200 rounds through my barrel so I can't judge accuracy yet, plus I'm a new shooter. One thing about the DPMS LR308 is the weight. They are fairly heavy if you go with the 24" LR308 which is what I've got.
