Anybody have experience with the Remington R25 in .308? Is it any better than its cheaper DPMS counterpart?
I'm sure there are some that like them, but I don't see the need for an expensive somewhat neutered AR. I'd rather have an AR that i could really mod if i wanted to.

I thought DPMS made them for Remington.
They do, they are infact one-in-the-same. The R25 is just specified for hunting only applications. They are great rifles.Originally Posted by 141FE
Prices? I have been interested in both of theses rifles also.

A buddy if mine had one and sold it not long after he got it. It literally had the worst trigger I have ever used and that's not an exageration. I would check the pull on one before I bought it. It was long, dragged, jumped, and never broke consistently.
It had terrible groups as well, but I will chalk that down to the trigger. I would personally look at alternatives.

Could he have not just changed the trigger?

Most factory rifles need trigger work IMO
DPMS runs about $1k. The Remington has a camo finish, target crown, and runs about $1300.
He could have, but after spending that kind of money, I would expect a usable trigger. It wasn't even close. Also makes me wonder what other shortcuts may have been made. That may just be me. I don't expect a match trigger in what is essentially a hunting rifle, but I do expect a usable one.
