yeah i am a bit weary of the financial issues, and yeah the remington reviews said it felt like a pos, good in some areas, mostly junk in others. I think im going to get this H&R SB2-608 SURVIVOR SYN 308 HB 22. I want something simple in a .308 that can be used in all sorts of situations. looks to be a great bug out gun, throw some spare ammo and a cleaning kit in the comparment, maybe a few critical pieces and you got a rifle that can defend and feed you.
