I'll take the Merit. PM sent.

Melvin,

Thanks for the heads up on this. It's going on the XP I bought last year.

I don't know much about the 25-20. I'm open to suggestions. What advantages would 25-20 have over 22 Hornet?

Ok. Resurrecting this semi-old thread. I think it deserves some attention. These things are ~$750 on GB. Not bad for an unlimited gun with factory and tons of aftermarket support. As previously said it is based on the M700 and comes with Magpul furniture. I asked about magazines and the Rem rep told...
