I'm somewhat a fan of accurate semi-auto weapons and I've been asked more than once about my DMR setup. So....
Barrels
Almost without exception without exception the only barrel attachment I use is a flash suppressor. In BF3 I favoured the heavy barrel but the kick is so hard that it's only ever any use on a sniper rifle where you can guaruntee a headshot at range. If your a run and gunner then some of the others provide stability bonuses at the expense of accuracy but that for me is a compromise too far.
Scopes/Accessories
The range of the weapon/type of combat dictates the accessory for me. My DMR's are equiped exclusively with canted irons and 3.4x or 4x scopes. Assaults and Carbines I'll run with a holo RDS and magnifier or light if we're rubbing shoulders in tight places. I stopped using the lasers as I hardly ever hip fire and there a liability for giving away your position.
Underbarrel
Assault I tend to have the rail for the GL all others I'd pick stabalising grips. On my favourite weapon set the DMR I use the angled or folding grip for the reduction in first shot recoil. Being able to quickly double tap a head shot at medium ranges is a sure fire winner; more when it's only 3 body shots for an unarmoured kill.
DMRs
So far I've only played with the SKS and QBU88. Love the SKS and five starred it quickly. It has a huge clip with one of the fastest fire rates. It's only let down by bullet velocity but once you're used to it you can still headshot at range. QBU has the velocity adventage even at long ranges bullet drop is minimal but cripes it's 10 bullet clip is a liability! 3 body shots for a kill, miss that's 4 hit a leg that's 5 basically two kills per clip then there is the 39 minute reload time!
So go on, give an SKS a home. I'd love to hear your favs and reasons. Maybe someone who spends time in vehicles could add thier thoughts as I prefer using vehicles as target practice.

I just randomly choose anything if it isn't working I pick something else BF4's unlock system is a little pants in my opinion.
