A few years ago I also got the need for a "SHTF" rifle to be on hand. I was never a fan of the AR, but a DPMS flat top was priced right, so it then resided at my house, had to add a 2-7 Vortex scope, a quick release 2 point sling, and a dozen magazines. Picked up 500 rounds of factory ball ammo, then loaded 500 rounds of 50 gr HP's. Both shoot to same POA. Zeroed at 100 yds, it sits in my vault ready if needed. I have only shot it once since I sighted it in.
