New Remington R-25 (AR-10) rifle in 243, 7-08 & 308
Remington Model R-25™
 I guess Remington is taking this merger with Bushmaster very seriously. First the R-15, which is an AR-15 based rifle specifically designed for coyote and predator hunting, and now this larger (AR-10 size) rifle for big game hunting. __________________ 1971 FJ40 w/ Chevy 350, Mark's of Australia bellhousing kit, 1979 4-spd transmission & transfer case, 12.50x33x15 tires. Rust free, original paint, wheel wells not cut. Pumpernickel mit Saurerkrauten from der Delicatessen, mit Liverwurst, Hassenpfeffer, und der Chattanooga Choo-Choo! Gesundheit! |

Now they just need to add .338 Federal to the group... to round things out. (.243, 7mm-08, .308, .338 Federal) The parent cartridge for all of them is the .308, so just a barrel swap would allow you to shoot all four offerings from the same rifle.

A 338 Federal R25 would be high on my list. I just got a call that the elk are tearing up the orchards again. I really need to get an elk gun!
The 308 might suffice but the 338 would be ideal. __________________ Fly Rod '95 FZJ80 with stuff. I have a double handed rod...  Jefferson State Cruisers |

Damn fine looking gun right there. I've been looking at these:
DPMS: AR-15 Rifles, Parts and Accessories. You can get one for around $1200 or so. MSRP on the Remington is $1500. Not sure about retail pricing though. __________________ 2000 UZJ100 - OME - sold Currently looking for the right FJ60 TLCA #14734 Calamaridog

When looking at these upsized AR15 rifles, inquire what magazines are being used. Most are propriatary and unique to that one manufacturer.
