Does anyone have one and how do you like it? Does Remington make these or get them from someone else? Are they the same as other ar-15's? ( meaning are the parts interchangable?) Are these a good quality AR?
Also a general AR question- what kind of groups do you guys get with your AR-15?

This one came in 22" 204 with 1:12 twist and turns out it won't shoot 40g bullets tighter than about 3" at best, but it looks like it's gonna work out great with 32's. It shoots 32g remmy factory at about an inch. I'm sure I'll get a load under a dime once I work it up. I'm going to try several bullets.
Byron South is the Predator man involved in the design. The Byron signature edition (super spendy) is a 223 with an 18" barrel.

Shoots 1/2" at 100 all day long over nothing but a forend rest off that R15 lower. I don't mind the trigger on the R15 either (a common point of complaint.) It has a little travel, but it's real smooth and consistent, so it shoots out fine.

There was 2 at Cabelas in Lacey last weekend. Around $1100.
They had one left yesterday morning but it had the 18" barrel and I want at least a 22" :bash:
Tri-State in Moses Lake also had the one with the collapsible stock about a week ago.
I am thinking I will probably go with the Remington sps varmint instead since I like the 22-250 and the 26" barrel even better.

Why such a long barrel? I know you might gain a little bit of speed but I doubt it will be any more accurate. Shorter barrels are better for hunting since you can swing the rifle faster to get the second dog. Are you just trying to get extra weight to be steady? Im not trying to knock you, just trying to find out if there is something else I should consider when I build my AR.There was 2 at Cabelas in Lacey last weekend. Around $1100.
