thanks for the response! i have hear about the re-zero issue with takedown for cleaning. just wondered how bad it really was. im not worried about range, i always take my go-to gun as back up in case things get really long-range. my back up gun is a weatherby vanguard sub-moa stainless/synthetic in .338 mag that is an absolute tack driver....

When it comes to hunting rifles, I am a bolt-gun guy from way back. That having been said, I enjoy my Beretta A-390 synthetic 12 ga on sporting clays and waterfowl and I trust my home protection to an AR-15. I have the opportunity to get an R-1 synthetic in .270 WSM for what I consider a good price and was wondering what kind of out of the box accuracy I can expect. If I go ahead and buy the rifle, I plan to put a Leupold 3.5-10x40 VX3 on it and use it primarily for Michigan deer hunting where the shots I typically get are from 75-150 yards. I am planning on a caribou hunt next year and if the rifle was accurate enough, it would probably go on that hunt. If anyone has experience with this rifle in this caliber I would appreciate any info. Thanks!
