One thing that you should know about remingtons. Nothing negative but the r-15 is actually made by bushmaster and the r-25 is made by dpms. All 3 are owned by the parent company cerberus. So if you do find a remington that you like, you are essentially paying for a camo bushmaster. I haven't had any problems with my bushmaster however. I would suggest shopping around though. You may find a gun you like, but the shop 5 miles away may be selling it for $50 less. When we are talking about dropping a grand on a new gun, every little bit helps.
