Well I had to send the 243 R-25 back to Remington, head space was bad. Shot it with two different brands of ammo and it was way high on pressures. Anyway it's being worked on now.
But I liked the gun so much I got me a DPMS sweet sixteen in 5.56/223 it has a full bull barrel, and man is it a shooter. I put an Acog type sight on it 1x34 with a T-bar with dot. Didn't think it would be more than a close in shooter so i was going to buy a scope and switch back and forth. So I shot a 25 yard target to get it close then moved to 100. I shot a five shot group and when I looked in the spotting scope I about fell over. It was to the right a inch but they were in a couple inch group. I got it dead center and the more I broke the barrel in the better it shot. I was just shooting off the back of my 4 Wheeler for a rest but I shot a 20 yard group and all were in the 2 inch bull most dead center. That was just with some ball ammo, can't wait to see how the 52 grain MBTHP Molly coated do. I been buyin ammo like a mad man, in the last moth it has gone up $100 a 1000.
Did you boys hear about the Osoma Obama SCAM to stop all military brass to not hit the market. They changed their minds after all hell broke out.

Anyway I love the little black gun, I got the bull barrel because I'm going to have the barrel spiral fluted when things slow down, which may be another 4 years. But I have a A-10 in 7mm-08 ordered and if I find another Sweet 16 I may buy it also for Debe.
