M77man, i ruled the R1 out a while back for a couple of reasons. first, the 1200ish price was steep with little on the used market. second, it is heavy a pound more than the BAR. third, the articles and posts i have read on accuracy for .308 have impacted me. when i tried to valid at stores in my area - no one had any one the shelves and sales folk were praising the weapon.
do you have any positive experience i can learn from ?

Sorry no, I was just throwing it out there because it looks like a sweet rifle based on what I've read from their website and seen on some of their hunting shows. I don't have any personal experience with it, no. It is a little pricey though, isn't it? Ah well, was just a thought. It's probably a good thing that it's not on the used gun racks though. I'm like you though, have to be reasonable with the funds. Example, I bought a Ruger stainless rather then a Browning stainless that I really wanted and I'm more then satisfied.
