Griz Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 My Boss bought a Remington R-25 with a Nikon Monarch in a 243 last week...:gun1: [email=http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire/model-r-25/model-r-25-rifle.aspx]http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire/model-r-25/model-r-25-rifle.aspx[/email] Oh...And 2000 rounds of ammo to go with it... I tell you what...This thing is sweet to shoot... The only thing I don't like about it is the weight and the price... It's pretty chuncky and pretty pricey that's for sure... I asked the Boss why a gun like this... And he said... I figure you could carry it around with you in the tractor while your feeding cows...:wacko: I told him Thanks but No Thanks... So it's in my Truck...:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Wow, he bought it and you get to keep it, sounds like an awesome boss you got there Dale. I had considered an R-25 when looking into ordering my .308 but ended up going with a dpms built with the upgrades I wanted. Let us know how the R-25 shoots for you.

Adjam5 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 The R25 is a Bushmaster made for Remington. They are both owned by the same parent company, Ceberus. Now with that lower...your boss can also buy you other uppers in .308, 7mm-08, 6.5 Grendel any caliber based on the .308 cartridge. Be a good employee and make sure he knows that. . Have fun with it.

Strut10 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The R25 is a Bushmaster made for Remington. Are you sure the R25 is not a DPMS?? I didn't think Bushmaster made anything but a 5.56mm platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, I just don't see a company that makes their own AR's(Bushmaster) having a competing company make one for them. The R25 may be exclusive to Remington only. DPMS is their own company, not part of the conglomerate Ceberus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPMS is their own company, not part of the conglomerate Ceberus. Pretty sure I read somewhere that dpms was acquired by cerberus. If you scroll down on remington's home page you will see both the dpms and bushmaster brands listed. Thought I had also read the same somewhere about the remington r-25 and r-15 rifles being built for remington by either dpms or bushmaster. Looks like an acquisistion took place in December of 2007 http://www.shootingwire.com/shooting_wire_release.html?releaseID=124422. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I need to check, like you guys did before I type:rolleyes:. I thought that owning two AR manufacturers would be counter productive which is why I went that direction. But maybe because of the .308 action was the draw to acquire DPMS. Anyway...thanks for the info William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Man that is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

Anyway...thanks for the info William. Bushmaster also bought out Cobb Mfg. in Georgia who made some really nice black guns. The R-25 is sweet, but just way too much for what it is. I would just buy a DPMS or Bushmaster. I mean its the same thing really. Edited March 4, 2010 by bbgatech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
