Somehow I am skeptical that Remington's motive is truly "To Honor our Veterans and Public Defenders".
In fact, I find the whole thing offensive. Why do the various priority "ranks" matter? Why do Federal Agents "rank' higher than State and Local Law Enforcement Officers.......and so on?
In my opinion, someone just spent a lot of time inventing an elaborate advertising scheme for the rifles.
Sorry to be negative, but it doesn't pass the sniff test to me.
I have read some comments on this topic by members of the Navy team. They don't seem to be offended, rather they are interested, with some bemoaning the fact that they will likely be unable to afford one.
I want one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now how to get twenty bucks worth of tickets?
Since I fall into Priority I, I might drop the cash for one. One of my biggest concerns is the scope, is it a Leupold M3A?
Since the Leupold M3A is the scope that is issued with the M24, I expect it will be the one sold with the M24 systems in question.
I base this supposition on my experience as a Naval Reservist. I have on numerous occasions worked at Small Arms at NSWC Crane. Most of my time was spent in the warehouse, where the various small arms arrive and are stored (sometimes for not very long) prior to being selected and sent over to the repair facility for rebuild.
All the sniper rifles, except for the M14 arrived with optics attached.
So, I expect the scopes will be the same ones that are on the rifles that the Army is turning in.
i think that there will be plenty of buyers from the first three groups and then 95%of them will very quickly will become sellers
