With a 16 / 18″ brl and m4 style stock, I’d be on board. Guess I’ll just wait.

A 1500 USD AR-10 that can be exported also to Europe is GREAT news.

Because of the the camo color and lack of flash hider these R25 rifles can be sold in Finland where I live. Finnish laws could deal with black color, telestock, flash hiders etc. but US export regulations can not.

I do not think R25 is expensive as it costs the same as a Tikka T3 Varmint here.

Iam an old school deer hunter who also happens to like all types of guns .
I own several Reminton 700s in many calibers.Just in the last few weeks did I purchase my new R25 in 308 and this past saturday put some meat in the freezer . The R25 is a true huntig rifle in every respect. It just happens to be on an AR platform. I wish this rile had been on the market years ago its a shame that we have to defend such a masterpiece to the liberal mainstream.I belive still that a gun has no intent only it user does. Thanks .

I don’t understand how someone can make a negative comment about a gun that they have not seen or shot! Shoot an R25 and then tell me you don’t like it!! Yes 1,500 bucks is a lot of cash but there hand guns that cost more and do less. I too own 2 model 700’s one in 270 and one in 30-06 and love them both. Personaly I like the AR style and also own 2 AR 15’s in 223, does the R25 compare? Somewhat but I’ve got over 3k in one. Talk to you’er local gun store owner and ask him how long its been since he sold a “DEER RIFLE”. People want AR style guns weather we like it or not thats just what sells, so I can see why remington made this move. Thankyou.

sounds to me that the people turning down the AR platform for hunting are just old men complaining and have no interest in furthering the sport of hunting. jthyttin is right, the camo is just for the liberals so that we can shy away from the “evil black gun.” as a hunter, the more guns that we except as hunting rifles the less antis can come down on them as “assault rifles” which only stregthens our second amdnt right. there is not denying that the AR platform is a great gun and has been a proven platform for many years (hence the military adopting it for so many years.) so if the point of hunting is to make a clean kill and to do so one is suggested to have a reliable gun to make that clean kill. why not should be the question. now yes 15k is a steep price to pay and i am sure within time the price will go down however i have no idea what rick gambetta was talking about with the “remington quality has gone down hill” comment. remington has been and as far as i am i know a leader in quality firearms. (again such as the Model 700 being used by the military as their M4 sniper rifle.) sounds like they are on a role with with some pretty reliable guns to me… well those are my thoughts and i welcome others.

I am almost 100% sure that all the parts that go into the r-25 are standard parts that you can get with a DPMS rifle. All the parts for it are produced at the same plant as the DPMS ones the only diffrence is the camo. And yes i do own one.

For years I felt no need to have a assult style weapon. In fact was against them thought we only needed a good Bolt rifle and shotgun. But my guns are dual purpose I hunt with them and they
they protect whats mine and my loved ones. Im not so dumb as to think I stand a chance
should things go wrong with my bolt rifle against the gang bangers or goverment controlled
police force, therefore I wont be out guned. My dpms 308 is a tack driver be it man or
beast It will do its job.

I dont understand what all the fuse is about this new R25 if you dont own one you should not shoot it down.I dont own an AR type rifle,but I am trying to get my hands on the new remington R 25 to see for my self.I dont know for shure but Remington and DPMS all are made in the same place.I do own rem.700 model in 2506 and 7mm mag and they are at and less 1/4 inch groops at 100yrds.I let you know when the new R25 is tested on my bench,thanks Remington,

When are they going to learn.Rem. thinks we all need this new stuff they keep introducing and all we really want is a Model 700 that shoots like they did 10 years ago.Also,why are they avoiding anything in .260,I have talked to their reps and I might as well be speaking a different language.It is almost like they like they don’t know what you are talking about.Wake up Big Green or SAVAGE will be at the top of the hill.

Where you’re going to get a fine tuned bolt-action for a fraction of $1500? And for the accuracy, AR style seems to beat gas-piston.
The camo is for liberals, it’s just to steer away from the evil black color.
