Re: WTK DPMS MINI SASS worth the money?
No experience with the mini-SASS but looking at the price tag, you can build one that's at least just as if not more accurate for less IMHO.
Give Scott @ www.specializeddynamics.com a call. He's really reasonable with his prices and starting to get lots of awesome reviews.

Re: WTK DPMS MINI SASS worth the money?
Depends on what you want I guess.
Considering how cheap & plentiful parts are (and how easy they are to put together) there's really no reason not to build one for yourself.

Re: WTK DPMS MINI SASS worth the money?
Co-worker of mine came to me for advice on the subject. Based on his budget and what he wanted to do with it, I talked him into a mini SASS. He has been happy as can be, and I must say after shooting it, that it is a great rifle for the money. I think they can be had for $1200 or so.
I would build one myself if I were doing it, BUT I have totalled up the cost of the parts I would use and it would be over $2000. So- if the mini SASS fits your needs, I say "rock it."

You'd probably be happy with it then. DPMS rifles aren't bad just keep in mind they like heavier profile barrels & that PRS stock/target grip/their handguards all that stuff adds weight os it won't be light.

Re: WTK DPMS MINI SASS worth the money?
I don't buy uppers anymore, I tend to build. That being said I have used the DPMS 1-8 SASS 5.56 barrel and it will shoot lights out. For the price, it's hard to beat. The only thing I don't necessarily like on the Mini SASS is the rail system. Its heavy and does not provide a continuous top rail. More of an aesthetics thing than anything else. With all the available handguards out there I just don't understand why they use those. Here's a pic of one build I've done using the Mini-SASS barrel.

Here's a 12 round group at 200 yards with the above rifle. (why 12 you ask, well because it was what was left in the magazine after zeroing the scope)
This was using the bi-pod off a bench, no bags. Haven't tried prone yet with this particular rifle.
