I have a remington model 700 in the .243 that is bolt action which is good for when I'm hunting in the stand but these AR-15's and such has made me really want to get one of them. I have been looking at the Remington r-25 so I could use a bigger caliber than the .223 rounds. Now I don't know very much about these but I really want one. I want one that feels good when shooting as in light recoil and a good feel to it. I also want it to have some knockdown power and put a good sized hole into a deer. I will probably be using it the most when we are gonna run the deer with dogs so the maximum range would be 300 yards at most but mainly just 100-150 yard shots. I am considering .308 since I've heard the rounds can be found easily and it's a good deer round but I don't have much knowledge on them but I've been trying to do some research but would love any opinions of hunters that have actually used them and the results and any recommendations. (I'd also love to be able to put a lot of attachments I.e. pistol grip, tripod, red dot sight or regular rifle scope and a magazine with at least 10 rounds but 30 would be awesome too
lol) Thanks and God Bless

I shot an AR in 50 Beowulf a while back and loved it. Kind of expensive to shoot unless you reload them.
If you are looking at a .308 then you are looking at an AR-10. The 308 is too large to feed through a std AR-15 receiver. I do not know much about them except that there is no real standard so parts are not as easily interchangable between brands.

Ok I'll have to check them out but I don't reload but I wasn't sure what caliber to get and I had just heard people say the .308 is the best but I just want it to have some power and accuracy and for it to be able to have attachments put on it. Kick isn't a big problem I care about but I done want it to pop up alot and I want to be able to hit a running deer at 200yds or so and depend that the gun will do it. I like my .243 but it doesn't have much knockdown power to it. It does have some speed tho, it will make that bullet fly but I was thinking about getting a bigger caliber but thanks for the reply

Ok and is the r-25 an ar-15 or is it another caliber? I thought I saw where it can shoot .308 but I'm not sure.

Description below per Remingtons web site. It is based off of the AR-10 Platform so interchangability of parts my be hit or miss IMHO
Be sure to check local laws. I had to order 5 round mags for my AR to use it in MI for deer. We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

Ok I'm really considering the r25 but I've heard problems with the trigger and ejecting problems but then I've heard people say its a very good gun. I do like the camo pattern too (I like mossy oak breakup better tho) and I just want to get a good quality AR. I'd rather it be costly for a good one than one thats cheap and doesn't perform good.

I've built 2 ARs (.223/5.56) for less then $1000 each. The last one I just finished and bought most of the parts since Jan when the buying frenzy started to get bad. That might be a little haeder to accomplish with an alternate chambering but can be done if patient and persistant.

I've heard that's the best route to go but I have no experience at all with any type of AR so I was thinking about just buying one already made but yea I know what you mean, people are going crazy buying AR's and ammunition too but I also thought about maybe waiting till it calms down and prices can lower maybe (unless the ban on them goes through which would suck) I just wanna be sure that ill enjoy the gun and don't want to make any mistakes

Understandable. It's much easier to put one together once you have one. There are also some really good tutorials available online. There are some tools needed that will will need to purchase depending on how much of the assembly you want to do yourself. (or find friends that have them) If you ever find yourself wanting to take that route, let me know and I can help, hopefully, with whatever questions you have. I'm by no means an expert but I've got some knowledge.
On the flip side it you buy it assembled you get a warranty and probably something that will work flawlessly out of the box. Not to say that home assembled ones don't but there is always a possibility when assembling parts from multiple suppliers. AR's are adult legos, they are infinitely customizable. Even when you buy a complete gun you will eventually find yourself upgrading or tweaking something.

Ok I probably will buy one for my first AR and if I get another I might consider building one. I wanna get one pre-built and learn the function and parts and maybe build one later. About everywhere I look they are out of any of the AR's I was looking at or they cost more than they should but I hope this craziness can settle down which I bet the gun manufacturers are happy haha. Thanks for your help and advice though, it's greatly appreciated

Be patient and shop around. Guns are starting to come back in stock and deals can be found if you are vigilent.

Ok that's what I'm probably gonna do and I'd rather wait to pay less than buy one now and pay way more than it should be. Ill restrain that "I gotta have it now" urge haha
