Well thanks for all of the information folks. I'm going to look at pros and cons between Badger and CDI and go with one of those routes. I'm going to ask my local gunshop (The Camp-Site in Huntington, NY) and compare against sending in my gun to CDI (since in NY, I'll have to have it shipped...

Ok - so I'm going to look at either the PTG or CDI, since both use AICS mags (which I hear are preferable of the HS proprietary ones. However, if I choose to send it anywhere, I cannot receive it directly because I live in NY and we have the SAFE act (has to go to FFL). I have a local gunshop...

I checked out their site and it appears as though they could send the whole setup to my FFL, where I can have it inletted. Do you suppose much smithing is needed? The 5R comes with an HS Grey stock, which I think takes very little effort to make these DBMs fit. True? -Ace

Hi all. I'm looking to install a DBM on my stock 5r Milspec and I don't want to swap the stock. I'd also like to keep any inletting as minimal as possible. Could someone recommend a few? I've seen HS, Wyatt, Badger, but really need some real-life input from you guys. My gun specs are...

:bump:

The noise is not terribly loud. In fact, you need to have your cheek on the stock (or ear near the scope) and no other sound in order to hear the "creaking" sound I'm talking about.

As a background, I mounted a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP scope on 30mm Medium Seekins Rings, mounted to a Seekins Picatinny Base. All of this is sitting on Remmy 700 5R milspec. I had the the base, rings and scope mounted at my LGS and from what I gather, everything was torqued properly...

Dick's had them for $30 a box in NY (Long Island). Also, my local gun shop had them for around the same price.

I want to, but not sure if I'm going to make it before 4. I just bought a 5R Milspec and Vortex PST that I'm having mounted and bore-sighted at Camp-Site, so not sure how long that will take. However, I'll be there next weekend. -Ace

I'm interested to know as well . . .

Bump to the thread and new to the forums: I'm from Baiting Hollow Area, but living in Forest Hills at the moment. I go out to Calverton (since it's near the house). Any active shooters from LI still here?

Update 2: I purchased the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP EBR-1 MOA from CameraLand in NYC and got a great deal (got 10% on a brand new unit). Can't wait to mount this baby - it's a beauty. Ace

I'll keep that in mind. If anything I might visit ranges near you, as they are likely a greater distance than what we have out here on Long Island. I'll check them out, but for that price, the Vortex and Nikon's are a bit more feature-packed. I'm not, however, ruling out used glass. My LGS has...

An update: -I picked up Seekins Precision 20 MOA Base and Seekins 30mm Medium rings. -I plan on mounting either a Vortex PST or HS-LR, Leupold VX-R, or Monarch 3 / M308. -I also bought the Harris Bi-Pod 6-9 in Smooth with a Pod-Loc. -I picked up a Caldwell DeadShot Boxed Front and Rear...
