I am the current owner of a xg3s imported from Pars. I am looking to add to my 308 collection and I am looking at an hk91. If I don't get the 91 I will get a DPMS 308 AR and a 6.8 upper (also from DPMS) for a built AR lower that I have sitting in a safe. I have two Rock River AR's in 223 so I don't need another one.

I guess I am looking for opinions here. Which way would you guys go?

DPMS is good (have not priced lately), but I would personally go the HK91 route (though accessories may be more expensive than DPMS), especially for value retention.

For shooting purposes, may want to go the DPMS route though.

If you are a collector (you said collection) then get the 91

The 91 is unique - a semi auto version of the paramilitary rifle that was the standard issue weapon in many countries.

Plus the 91 would look nice displayed next to your FMP .308.

Personally, I'd go with the DPMS 6.8 but just because it'd be a fairly unique rifle.

Am I allowed to say that on an H&K forum?

I would buy a used HK91, sell my XG3S then buy the DPMS upper. You can do whatever you want to an HK91. An XG3S must comply with importation rules.

I would say it really depends what you want the 308 for. If you are looking at doing a lot of add-ons, it's hard to match the AR platform.

I would encourage you to go for the HK-91. I think they are a bit heavy, but well made.

I was out bid on the HK 91. I may try again.

Keepin in mind the cost of .308 vs .223, I would consider an HK93, SL8 or V93. It might be cheaper in the long run.

They will not take a Credit Card. that is the only way I buy online. I had a bad time a few months back with a rolex daytona I bought on line. If I had not paid with a CC I would have been out of luck
