Remington does it again

They're never first but they always end up with a high-quality product. Remington has introduced their version of the "black rifle." It's the new R-15. I would bet that someone is actually making it for them. Some of the cooler features include a flat-top design, free-float aluminum handguard, muzzel crown, low-profile gas block, single stage trigger, and several I probably can't think of right now. What I am most suprised about is the price; $1199 is somewhat competitive. I believe the only drawback is the current chamberings of the .204 Ruger and the .233 remington. I'm sure Remington has left themselves some room to grow with a similar design somewhere in the future with the .308 case family in mind.

On a different note the basement finishing project is doing very well. Framing is 100% complete and the wiring is half way done. I'll have some pictures posted soon of the progress. I'm very happy with the monster closet that was designed "on the fly." Now all I have left is the rest of the wiring, insulation, flooring, doors, and the ceiling.
