It is really tough to find all of these to look at non the less get to shoot. What have you guys got to say, good, bad or indifferent about any or all of these. Big field but trying to decide. Cost is an issue but once I decide it will not be. Thanks....
AFAIK the R25 is made by DPMS. The M1A is heavy. The 700 is a great shooter in 30-06 the only one I have shot. For price consideration don't overlook the Savage 110.
