I saw a thread in the BCM clasifieds, guy is giving
away 22's realy cheap! He should have posted it
here in the outdoors section if he was smart.

The Remington R25 in 243 is sitting there for me but
I realy like the R15 in 223, feels 2 pounds lighter.

Im not afraid of deer hunting with the 223, I know its
highly debated but a 62grain ballistic tip drops em
right where they stand. Im trying to get down to one
gun, home/predator/deer all in one. The R-15 is smarter
but the 243 could still be used on squirels since I just
keep there tails :) I've had plenty of bull barrel target
grade guns but at 45 Im getting tired of 12+ pound
setups hiking in the woods.

Yup 1 in 9, every review I've read have had outstanding 100yard
groups. This month G&A tested the 308 R-25, realy nice groups.

The R-25 is 243,308 or 7mm-08
The R15 is 204 or 223 with a new release 30cal custom.

Im leaning towards the lighter r-15 in the 22" barrel...
but I love the 243 round over the 308's ballistics..grrrrrrr
