I saw the new r-51 at a Remington exhibit at Proshots indoor gun range in Rural Hall, NC a few months ago. There were 4 of them, some with the laser option and some without. I could handle them and dry fire them, but I was not allowed to fire them. A few days ago I emailed Remington about the status of the r51 and this is what I received today:

Good morning , the r51 is not out yet, with no exact date of production as they are still in testing.Shouldnt be much longer ,Thank you.
Thank you and best regards,

I have other guns to shoot and reload for, so I can wait for this guy a little longer.
Thanks for the info. Since I am bound and determined I will get an R51 I guess I will continue to not so patiently wait.
However, I am very disappointed in Remington and fell this does not bode well for them in the future.
