Remington R25 .308

[Links2k]

Over the last week or two I have been debating the purchase of a .308 or 6.8 rifle. I had narrowed my choices down to the Wilson Combat 6.8 recon, Stag model 7 6.8 or Remington 700 sps tactical. I now have added the R25 to the mix.

I plan to use this rifle for target shooting and hunting. I will be purchasing two scopes for which ever rifle that I purchase (trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 with amber reticle for hunting and nikon monarch 5-20-50 for target shooting).

Does anyone own this rifle and what are opinions of this rifle?

It's just a camo dpms so they willpretty much shoot the same. I like my dpms it shoot fine. Just all depends what you are looking for any of what you mentioned would be a nice rifle.

Your not going to see a huge difference from .223 to 6.8. Go with the .308

+1 on 308

I like my DPMS 308s

The R25 is a DPMS. I really like my DMPS AP4 .308.

Wilson makes a good 6.8. I wouldn't go as far as saying a 6.8 isn't that

much different from a 5.56, but I'm biased.

I do wish I had a .308 to play with, but the 6.8 might be a bit lighter

to tote around if need be. That's where they are like 5.56's. I think

Wilson thinks so, too. I'm going to try one of his barrels, one of these days.

With what you all are saying and what I have stated that I am going to use the rifle for which DPMS would better suit my purposes the LR308B or the LR308L. Honestly I will prob shot more paper than game.

I'm in the market for a .308 for the same reasons as you and I'm definitely getting a Remington 700 sps tactical. I just don't know what scope I'm putting on it yet. You can get the rifle for $550 shipped from budsgunshop.com. I couldn't find a deal like that locally.

I like that remington alot. I have seen that on buda the last couple of months. As stated above I am going with a trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 with amber reticle for hunting and a Monarch 5-20x50 for my long range paper killing.
