Might I recomend that anyone interested in this also look at the other 2 threads on the subject. One is in this section and was started by rsilvers and the other one is in the Bear Pit.

The other flyer states that they are going to do the drawing on 20 Jan 12, but I don't see where you can buy the tickets. Maybe Mahk knows.

The article is all fucked up and chock full of misinformation. The actual release states that there is ONE rifle being raffled at the shot show, not 2000 rifles. "less than 2000 rifles are for sale.

Why would you think that Remington customer service would have any clue about the army selling its own inventory items?

Re: Real Remington M24's for $3500 w/optics
tickets for the ONE m24 are being sold at the SHOT show. the remaining less that 2000 are being sold by priority. from what can read they are are service rifles that are getting new milspec barrel, action, and trigger. the rest of the rifle will be as is. information on actually buying these will be posted on
http://www.remingtonmilitary.com/
mid january, so pretty soon. they also go on to say that these packages are being rebuilt on the same line that they are making the XM2010 so looking like a 9 month turn around. it is going to be a full package. reworked rifle, Leupold-Stevens M3 Ultra fixed at 10X with a range-finding mil-dot reticle and bullet drop compensator, case, and all the other stuff that comes with them.

Re: Real Remington M24's for $3500 w/optics
I'm pretty sure this is legit, but I think the rifles are currently only available to US Armed Forces (active and retired) and paramilitary men and women. I could easily be wrong, though.

Where does it say that?
I see this:
"The priority of sale is as follows;
1. Military or former military personnel holding a sniper school diploma."

Re: Real Remington M24's for $3500 w/optics
Remington will initially limit sales of these complete systems to three distinct groups prioritized in the order below:
1. Military Snipers – Any current or former U.S. military sniper. All priority purchasers must provide a photocopy of a graduation certificate from a certified U.S. military sniper school (e.g. U.S. Army Sniper School, Special Operations Target Interdiction Course, etc). This group is not required to have a current U.S. military affiliation.
2. Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve Military Personnel – Any member of any service currently serving in the U.S. military. Must provide proof of military eligibility. Inactive Ready Reserve members are not eligible for a purchase in 2012.
3. Retired Military Personnel – Any retired military member of any service holding a retiree identification card, whether through time in service or medical retirement.

you think retirees would get the same respect if not more than active duty. some PFC who's been in for 6 months getting more respect than a someone who did 20+ years is just stupid.

I talked to a Remington sales rep a few days ago and they told me it could be up to 8-12 weeks before mine ships. That's after a placed my order in march. Lots of waiting to be done for this rifle.

Thanks for the report, that is the first one I have heard. You must be in Category 1.
That is a long wait, but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

Yea, I got on cat 1, but cat 2 is open as well. I'm hoping to get it in time for the opening of deer season here in GA.
