Does remy's new r15/r25 "do it" for you?

I got acid reflux a few mins ago seeing that milarm (bless 'em!) are now selling that dirty, ugly, airsoft looking, piece of styrofoam craptactuclar, ar wannabe. I needed tums and a nap. I'm grossed out the front door at remy's (bless 'em) newest "danger" look, and that they are calling it a "predator" rifle. I.....ain't...buyin it! Cuz you need a repeater for a 'yote?! how bout a deuce deuce? Or, pick a gauge! On remy's page too, for the last while at least, they got the product pushing "professional predator hunter" on page talking performance, with a stack of dead 'yote's in front of him.

Does "predator hunting"...(sub-question "should cayote count as predator?!?") require it's own type of firear...I mean......tactical airso....defensive 'weapon'?

I get out, but there just isn't enough tums out there to make me swallow that piece of puke. If I'm out and see you with one, you are getting a Simpson's Nelson-esque "haha".

P.S....we need a straight faced smiley, cuz I'm dead serious.

I'm telling you - Remington is designing things lately by committee. Absolutely nothing improved, just uglier and cheaper. Have you picked up a VTR? I started laughing - it's hideous - goes against pretty well any good design principle there is. A brake on a 22" barrel - in varmint calibers? A triangular barrel? And what a color - putrid.

I don't intend to buy one, but the last report I read abotu them had MOA accuracy at 500 yards with thier .308 model...

Pretty is as pretty does:)
 
It would do a lot more for me if it wasn't restricted.

Why buy an ugly AR variant I can only use on a range, instead of a better looking original that lives under the same opressive conditions?

Yea, but it's cool, very cool, very very tacticool. :puke:

They shoot well and handle well. The colour scheme is weird, but you can always change it. They are of course optimised for countries that allow you to hunt with evil guns so it matters not whether we want to.
 
I'd buy a VTR in 223 if it didn't have the brake in the barrel I couldn't care less what it looked like if it handles/shoots good.

Yes I'm also a predator hunter and yes coyotes are predators, a highly accurate quick handling 223 that is available at a good price is exactly what I want = don't care if I bash it around when I'm out in the bush. :)

About the R15/R25 I'd own them as well if I could legally use them for hunting and once again I could not care less what it looks like as long at it gives me the weight/performance that I want.
 
Id never buy one, but I agree with the approach they were taking. Id rather hear the AR platform being called a "Predator Rifle" rather then an assault rifle.

Get off your high horse. Its the same gun, with a camo paint scheme. Go hunt a coyote with a .338 Win Mag if you want. Its a bolt gun, so it must be the only type used to take out coyote.....

Even though its still restricted, which blows, I think the naming and showing that the gun can be used for hunting is a HUGE step in the right direction in terms of showing anti's what guns are "supposed" to be used for.....

x2 If I could hunt yotes with it I would already own one but this Socialist Nation says it's evil and will turn me into a baby killer so I better not.

Interesting point. Still really gross.

I believe thats the intention, getting anti's as well as gun owners that are anti-assault rifle to take a look at what the AR15 family of rifles have to offer to them. It surprises me the number of hunters that sneer at CZ-858's while on the range, as if to say...

"what the hell is that good for?"

Interesting "family" analogy; If r15 and his brother r25 were in my AR family, they'd be the illegitimate foster children...(you know the learing, socially akward ugly ones, that try too hard to be liked by everyone?) Sorry, no offense intended to foster children. Rough trip.

I hear you guys on the hunting stance though. Too-shay. I never looked at it's ugli-ness like that. It's a long way down from "my high horse". (and i was thinking of buying your 590). If only we could get the real AR guys to try for the same image; Would it be the proverbial "hooker in church"?:yingyang:

sinfully ugly. It's being marketed to the same folks that spend all morning orange clad, huddled next to a timed feeder in a treestand, waiting to blast a doe with their Dale Jr. Series semi 300wsm.

guess that makes it OK. but then again tradtion and class, for the most part, left hunting long ago...
 
If unrestricted, I'd hunt with an AR style rifle, no problem. Lots of US predator hunters really like them.

And I've never been in a treestand, and don't own any blaze orange..:p

exactly

the paint scheme blows in my opinion

But I would buy one an R25 in 7-08 just for hunting if it was legal. I would have to repaint or have it annodized black or dark grey and put on normal handguards, perhaps have a spare upper in 308.

the concept is sound

Nice!
 
yup if it was unrestricted I would have one in .223......I dont mind the camo but I also own a savage predator that is camo and a remy buckmasters....I like camo guns.....and the semi would be sweet for when there are more then one yote in the field or you screw up the first shot and he's running.
 
Oh, i remember the good old days of running around the bush with my Ar with a 30 rd mag hanging off it blasting golphers.
If the .308 rifle was non restricted, i'd go hunt with it for sure. Ugly or not. The Ar platform works for shootin not only two legged critters but four legged ones as well. These rifles have no business being restricted in the first place. Especially, considering similar rifles that are not, even though they have indentical characteristics.
