Anyone buy a Remington R51 yesterday?

Well 1Sow. Hopefully they turned the boat, and you get the gun you wished for. I want to see the R51 succeed. You know some heads rolled on this one. Good luck to ya.

1SOW: Glad to hear they are going to do the right thing even though it took some time. I've been intrigued by the R51 ever since I held and dry fired several in Harrisburg PA earlier in the year. I"ll be interested in your feedback once you've range tested the replacement. Good luck.

I Do appreciate the good wishes.
I'm supposing it will be at least safe and shootable.  If not,  the growing bad reputation could be detrimental to their financial health. 
I remain an optimist, and will be looking for a holster.  .
I will post my findings,  hopefully in October.

You DO know we're going to be expecting a range report!

Hoping for your positive results 1SOW. A good range report will sure be a good turn.

Good luck. I hope they get it straightened out finally for you.

I hope your patience pays off for you 1SOW.

If and when it comes home,  I wish I lived closer to W. Monroe, LA.

It would be worth the Fed-Ex cost.

Cheaper than driving.

It looks like Remington has updated the R51.

They had to.

BTW; 1SOW, did you ever get your money back from Remington?

I'll be curious about the actual retail price for these once they hit the market in numbers, not the MSRP. Given the sordid history, I think the market interest is going to set the price eventually. Believe sales of these things will be very lukewarm until they have a history of dependability. Early adopters have already paid the price and those purchasing the "fixed" model are still taking a large risk. It may be that the early results will come only from those still in possession of last year's model who choose the replacement option.

I have a feeling that (good or bad) we are going to see these in the CDNN catalog next year.  I think people are just done with the R51 and Remington.

[1SOW]

I'm done with Remington TODAY.  I recieved my refund for the R51 and deposited it in the bank TODAY.

I still think it's a shame how all this was handled (or not handled) by Remington.  This convinces me Remington could care less for the customer and/or their product reliability.

It's hard to believe the saga with the R51 and you are finally over 1SOW.  I really wanted it to work out for you.  But I believe you did the right thing. 

I thought about getting a new Remington rifle the other day, but thought of the R51 and passed.
