This Tier shit is beyond stupid. Get the gun you want, put the accessories on it you want and be done with it. I have a DPMS LR-308 that does everything I want it to do. It wears a Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 in a LaRue 20 MOA mount with a LaRue bipod and Magpul PRS stock with Geiselle trigger. I could have afforded an OBR or LMT or whatever else I wanted, I got the DPMS because it does all I need it to do.
They are great rifles and anyone who knocks them with the Tier foolishness is more concerned with what the internet thinks.
OP, if you want to get one of the R-25's go for it. It will serve you well I am sure.
Maybe I should have clarified the "Tier Shit" as you so colorfully stated, as a price point. For whatever reason, name, quality, horsepower, accuracy, the LMT's, Larues, KAC, etc are much more expensive than the DPMS/Bushmaster/Rock River/Remington. Are they twice the gun because they are twice the price, I highly doubt it. Is a corvette better than a camero (even though they have the same engine)??? I agree with you though, get the gun you want, accessorize how you'd like. That's exactly what I did. Unfortunately we can't negate the Tier effect, because as stupid as it is, it's there.
