It has come to my attention that some folks are confusing this rifle for the DPMS GII Hunter series...it is NOT.
This model was discontinued in 2012...the GII series were introduced in 2013.
I'll post a pic for comparison - DPMS GII HUnter in .243 on top...DPMS Panther LR-243 on bottom.
Additional spec's on the DPMS Panther LR-243:
Panther™ LR-243
SPECIFICATIONS:
Mfg Item Num: RFLR-243
Category: FIREARMS - TACTICAL RIFLES
Barrel:
