There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Thats a pretty cool rifle, the R-25. I just went to Rems websight.

If it was me I'd get the .308 Win chambering, tho the 7mm-08 is a great load. Even the .243 will put down any deer that ever munched corn. But I love the .308 win and it will give you a bit more bite if Elk or Moose come up on the menu.

I just looked at that new load, the 30 Rem ER. A 125 core Lock at 2800 fps will take any deer cleanly.

Yeah I'd love to get a 308 but at this point I just found out the R25 is way out of my price range since it's so new, I was hoping to find a used one or something...

Yeah I saw the 30 Rem...but how expensive are the rounds? They will fit into a R-15...

I only hunt for Deer mainly, and that's when I actually do...Im more of a turkey/waterfowler.

I googled that article and read it through as well. So you are saying I should look around for an R-25 and not a R-15?

For hunting purposes I'd go buy a Savage 110 in .243 or larger and save the money you'd spend on an AR look a like. You could get a nice Savage (great rep for accuracy too) and a scope for about a third or less than the .30 RAR.

If you want a "fun gun" get a SKS or a Ruger mini 30 and enjoy a semi auto rifle with a "decent" caliber and relatively cheap ammo. I say "decent" as I am not a fan of any .22 caliber fro hunting anything larger than rabbits. The 7.62 x 39 round isn't up top the .308 (7.62 NATO) but far better than the .223 shell.

You could get both the Savage and the fun gun for what you would spend on the .30 RAR.

Just my opinon there for the suggestion.

Been drooling over a suppressed Savage Weather Warrior in 243 with accustock and accutrigger for a few months now....

Here's what I want :D

That's my only problem...I' only have/will be able to spend about 500/600...thats why I was *hoping* to find an R15/R25 used for cheaper...maybe even 700. Though I'm not too sure I like the bolt action rifles, that sure looks like a nice gun. My dad has a couple .270's, one is a pump the other is a semi.

At that price, I'd say a PolyTech M1A... .308 semi auto, 20rd mags, Military look, (if ya dig that), black compo stock... Sure its a Chinese knockoff of an M14...
But they shoot well enough, are of decent enough quality and reliabilty... And have enough of the goofy gizmos that bolt onto it, to keep any gizmo lover happy for years...

 :salute and happy gun shopping... I always enjoy that too!!!

Yeah I ran into the M1A's looking around...

If I can find a 308 with a pistol grip I'll be glad to get it. and yes I love the military look...that's why I'm all about the pistol grip :)

So get the rifle first, then get a folding stock for it, they are available...

Can you get FN SLR's or Lithgow L1A1's over there? They're a really nice 308 semi.

I was looking around and I found a Century Arms L1A1 that I like...is it relatively the same thing?
