I have not held one in my hands yet but there is no way you can go wrong with that rifle. DPMS builds some very nice guns, period. They have great quality control standards, their fit and finish is perfect seeing as they are a 'made to order' item they get attention to detail that is missing from some companies production guns and every one I have ever shot has been right on the money, the prairie panther should be the same.
From what I have read on them the Prairie Panther is one heck of a gun with no cut corners. It should be a great performer in the field and on the bench.
The tougher decision is what optic to top it off with lol!
