Think I will stick to Windham's, Colts, and believe it or not I love my Sport ii. I would be definitely be bummed out had I spent 3K on a rifle and then find out it had many issues. I am also thankful I was here kicking this question around and pondering before making a rash decision. I understand the vast majority of DD owners are not going to drop their DD on the ground, but you don't see ven rifles like Bushmaster or DPMS doing this stuff.

The fact that a DDI performed worse in that test than a $500 psa AR says worlds to me about the quality. Some day people will realize more money does not equal more quality
I'll stick to my AKs that are built in military factories with dozens of years of building firearms to survive rather than for profit. Where else can you get a rifle that lasts 50,000+ rounds with only spring changes?
