    Gunsmithing Remington 5R build suggestions/help

    I have a Remington model 700 5R in 300 WM 26" barrel and I'm looking into a new stock and a new magazine assembly. I think I have decided I'm going to go with the H S Precision trigger guard and detachable mag assembly but I'm lost on what stock to go with. I like the thumbhole stocks, I feel...

    Remington 5R rifling engraved on barrel

    I have had my Remington 5R for almost a year now and I love it, but I have noticed the more of these rifles I see I notice they have "5R rifling" engraved on the barrel after the caliber engraving and I looked and mine does not. Do just the .308 5R's have this engraving and my .300 WM doesn't...

    Rifle Scopes Bases and mounts for a Nightforce on a 5R

    I have a 5R and not sure what size mounts I should get and what size or 1 piece/2 piece bases I should get to put on it that will work best for a 50mm Nightforce. I just don't want to order a set and find out they don't work and have to send them back and all that. So if anyone has this sent up...

    Rifle Scopes BDC scope/turret

    I know most on here won't even think about a BDC turret style scope but my question is if your shooting at the same elevation and usually the same temps wouldn't a BDC be just fine? And if you ever went to let's say a higher elevation you could have a different custom turret for that elevation...

    Rifle Scopes Huskemaw Blue Diamond Series 5-20x50 Rifle Scope

    Has anyone bought a Huskemaw Blue Diamond Series 5-20x50 Rifle Scope or got the chance to shoot with one and test it? I'm curious if it's worth the money or if it'd be better to go with like a Nightforce scope.

    X-Mark Pro Trigger on Remington's 5R

    How are the X-Mark Pro Triggers that come on the 5R? Is it pretty simple to adjust? Is it better than Remington's 40-X trigger? Or is there an even better trigger on the market to put on a Remington that would be anywhere from 2-3.5 pounds? Thanks for the info.

    Remington 5R in 300 win mag with 24" or 26" barrel

    Does anyone have the 5R in 300 win mag with a 24" or 26" rifle and have either pictures of your groups or a list of your groups you got it to shoot? And also what bullet and gr you shot out of it? I have read a bunch on how well the 308 5R with 24" barrel shoot but haven't found a lot of...

    Otis Technology Breech-To-Muzzle-Cleaning System

    How do guys feel about this Otis Elite gun cleaning kit? Is it worth it? Does it do the job as good as cleaning with a rod system and not harm the rifle? Thanks for your input.

    Torn between Remington 5R and Remington XCR TLR

    Hey, I am torn between the Remington 5R and the Remington XCR tactical long range. I would like to be able to shoot out to 1000 yards at some point, most of my shots while hunting have been under 500 yards to date. It would mainly be a hunting rifle. I have a Tikka T3 SS in 300 win mag with a...
