| I just picked one up day before yesterday. Looks cool although that hard butt plate should make things interesting. I've got an Aimpoint red dot ordered along with rings and (2) 19 round clips. Once I get it all put together and fire some rounds, I'll let you know.

| OK thanks - BUT - yesterday afternoon I just had to stop by the gunshop, and well,there was one on the rack. I just knew that the little remmy R15 needed a big brother, and that if i didn't buy him one he'd cry oily tears. So out of pure compassion I bought it |

| Wait a minute! How are you guys able to buy guns in this horrible Bush economy? Haven't you heard we are living through the most difficult times in America since the Great Depression? How can you afford anything, let alone a new firearm? Don't you know you are just a few minutes form living on the sidewalk? Ask Don. Ask DaMan. Ask BBBrucie. They will all tell you that America is finished, it's over, we are going to fatally implode any second as a continuing nation. Only Obama can save us. Only His Merciful Omnipotence can reverse our terminal downward slide. Haven't you guys been told all this? I'm shocked. Shocked, I say... |

| Hussein Obama is one of the reasons I bought mine now - before the anti-gun administration takes over. My Aimpoint in camo showed up Sunday night. I mounted it. It looks great. Hopefully this weekend I'll find time to sight it in and play with it. Butch, what kind of sights did you put on yours> ?

| Took my R25 to the range today. I mounted an Aimpoint 9000 red dot in camo with quick release high mount rings. Without any boresighting, I shot at 50 yds. and the rifle was shooting only about 4 inches low with perfect windage settings. Turned the knobs and started putting all in the bullseye. Some two round shots went through the same hole. The muzzle flip was virtually non-existant. I was really amazed at how quickly the rifle returned to the target for a quick follow up. None of my other "hunting" rifles do that as well.I am very pleased with the accuracy. I was shooting 150 gr. Federal softpoints. Function was flawless. Very comfortable recoil as well. I was shooting in a "T" shirt with absolutely no discomfort. It's a sweet rig.
