So saw this earlier today and it appears to just be a simple rebrand under Remington after they dissolved Bushmaster.

New from Remington is the massive R2Mi bolt-action .50 BMG rifle designed for extreme long-range pursuits. A freefloated barrel, with 8-groove, 1:15-inch twist rifling is designed for achieving sub-MOA accuracy from match-grade .50 BMG. With a left-hand operated bolt handle and ejection occurring on the right-hand side, the R2Mi is designed to be easy to cycle without the shooter having to adjust position. The padded stock allows for adjustments in cheek height and length-of-pull, while maintaining straight, clean lines.

Remington bills its new R2Mi rifle as one of the simplest .50 BMG rifles to assemble and maintain. Its upper receiver locks to the lower receiver with two integral pins, and its full-length Picatinny rail accommodates a wide range of optics. The RT2Mi disassembles like an AR-type rifle for cleaning and maintenance. A 10-round removable-box magazine feeds the R2Mi, all at an MSRP significantly less than $5,000.

If you've been waiting for a removable-box fed, bolt-action .50 BMG rifle set up for a suppressor, the R2Mi is right up your alley. Whether it's hitting targets at a mile out or farther or simply bragging rights at your local 200 yard range, there's plenty of reasons to look into this new bolt-action, big-bore .50 BMG rifle from Remington.

Haha right? Should have at least tried to make the BM-50 and ACR Remington products before canning Bushmaster. Now we've got the bones of companies picked clean by a hostile CM firm trying to sell us what's left of their portfolio on the heels of various cost cutting measures. I don't know that I want $3,000-$5,000 tied up in Cerberus products and I definitely don't want Remington quality between a 50BMG and my face!

Same reason I budgeted for an AAC Cyclops and, when it was go time, decided that money was better spent elsewhere.

My homie has that .50 & I can say that the magazines just suck balls just like if they were promags, the rounds nose dive most of the time no matter how many we stuffed in the mag . Accuracy was not too bad though .

Looks like they tried to use the Barrett mag in it.
