    New stock better than Rem 5R stock, similar cost

    Long story short, a gunsmith damaged the factory stock of my Rem 5R milspec while he was working on it. This was a result of poor communication and not his skills, but nonetheless he has agreed to replace the stock. That's fine by me, but unfortunately he is having trouble locating this exact...

    Karsten Cheek Rest concerns

    I have already used the google search and are fairly familiar with them. I still have a couple questions that I haven't seen addressed. The answers to these questions will determine which model I'll get. I plan to mount it on a stock Rem. 5R MilSpec to gain about 0.5" of height. I'd like to...

    Rifle Scopes Barrel Contour/Ring height for PST on 5R Milspec

    I read the "Ring Height Info - How to measure correctly" thread tacked at the top, but I have no experience mounting scopes and wanted to confirm my findings before I order rings. I'm mounting a Vortex PST 4-16x50 onto a Rem. 5R using a Badger 20 MOA base, Butler Creek caps, and wanting to use...

    CNBC "Remington Under Fire"

    What trigger is CNBC claiming is at fault, the 40X, X-mark, or ...? Anybody care to elaborate with technical details regarding these misfires? Maybe I should just go ahead and get a Timney or Jewell just to be on the safe side. For those that haven't heard about it...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Custom Turrets?

    Anybody seen this? http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vort...ith-mrad-clicks I was playing around on the Vortex site as I wait for my PST and came across this. It seems like a niche item, but could be very nice to have for those who have already doped their rifle and don't plan to do...

    Rifle Scopes Did they jack up the price on Bushnells?

    I've been waiting for the Vortex since March and was told today that they will be delayed until late August. I've had a 5r ready to roll since the beginning of June when it was originally supposed to be delivered and I'm beginning to get antsy. My back up has always been the Bushnell 4200 3-12...

    Multicam Dipping

    Thinking about having my new 5r stock dipped in multicam. I had bookmarked Lakota Corp, but the website doesn't appear to be working. Are they still in business? If not, who's reputable? Also, I've never done much tinkering with bolt guns before. Does removing the action from the stock and...

    How to mount a base or professional install?

    Building up my first bolt action rifle and my base should come in Monday. I've never mounted a base before, but want to do it right. Is this something that could be easily done myself or should I have it done? I don't want to mount it crooked or have it loosen up and have to deal with it...

    New stock 5R or $1700 for a 5R with Krieger barrel

    Met a guy today selling a boat load of precision rifles at a gun show. I've been planning a 5r purchase for a while now, but he had a 5r milspec with a new krieger barrel. He said there was 20rds of FGMM down the barrel and he got one hole groups out of it. He was asking $1700, but I sensed...

    .308 5R Milspec.....Short or long action?

    I've been planning out everything I'll need for a 5R Milspec I plan to buy in the near future. Then the thought occured to me when I was looking at bases. A Remington 700 in .308 is a short action right, but the M24 in .308 is a long action. How far did Remington take this M24 esque 700? Is...
