Remington R2Mi Bolt Action Rifle

Remington have officially launched their R2Mi .50 BMG rifle. A couple of weeks ago the news broke that Remington would be introducing a .50 calibre long range precision rifle, replacing the Bushmaster BA50 in their catalogue.

The rifle sports a free-floated 30-inch barrel with 1:15” twist and 8-groove rifling. It feeds from a 10 round magazine and is operated by a bolt on the left hand side. The rifle, like its predecessor, retains many AR features including an upper and lower receiver held together by a pair of pins – simplifying transport and storage of the rifle.

From its match-grade chamber out, the R2Mi rifle is built to shatter all previous expectations for long-range accuracy. A free- floated barrel, with 1:15” twist and 8-groove rifling is perfectly suited for harnessing sub-MOA accuracy from the 50 BMG. And its left-hand operated, right-hand eject bolt-action and 10-round box magazine, ensure comfortable cycling with no need for the shooter to adjust position. The R2Mi rifle is also one of the simplest 50-caliber 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.

NEVER DETERRED BY DISTANCE.
