Re: Normal for the bolt to stick? I would say just a little firm when chambering. The rifle has been pretty accurate so far. I'm by no means an expert marksman, but at 100 yards I'm getting consistent groups of about 1.5" clustered about the center of the target, and I'm having no trouble at...

Re: Normal for the bolt to stick? Happens on the cheaper Federal hunting ammo I used to site it in as well. Not seeing any common marks on the brass, but I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on it. I'll also make sure the chamber is dry, although there is no reason it should have...

Re: Normal for the bolt to stick? Thanks. I don't think so. I don't remember looking closely at the primer, but I think I would have noted any unusual marks left by the extractor. I'll check that out the next time I'm at the range. The Remington service center guy on the phone says a...

Re: Normal for the bolt to stick? Don't know what you mean. The brass appears normal and the action and barrel appear normal, but what should I be looking for?

I have a Remington 5-R in .308. It has about 120 rounds through it. Using new Federal GMM ammo. When I go to pull the bolt back to eject a spent case, the bolt sticks a bit. You need to yank on it to get it out of battery. I don't know, but it feels like the resistance is about what I...

Re: Bipod recommendations Parker Hale with the handstop is really nice. Much prefer it over the Harris.

Re: First time out with the 5R Nope. Right hand, right eye.

Re: First time out with the 5R I'd like to lighten the trigger. The break is good and there is no creep, but it needs to be lightened. I have the x-mark trigger, so I'm not comfortable adjusting it. I need to take it to a smith.

Shoots like a dream. Zeroed the scope at 100 yards, and she was hitting the steel targets on the first or second shot at 200, 400, and 600 yards based on a standard pre-fab DOPE card. Very pleased with the rifle and the optics. Remington 700 5R Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 McMillan A5 Parker Hale...

I'm going to be shooting my new Rem 5R .308 using FGMM ammo. I'm a novice at long range shooting, and this rifle only has about 10 rounds through it. Although I cleaned between each of the first 10 shots in an effort to "break it in," after further consideration I'm not going to bother with...

Re: Anybody have a dope table for FGMM .308? Thanks much.

Re: Anybody have a dope table for FGMM .308? Thanks for the link. Very helpful. Shooting from a Rem 700 5-R 24" barrel, but I don't have any data from it and I don't have a chrono. I know I will have to confirm with actual shooting, but I was looking for a starting point. I figured FGMM...

Thanks.

Re: A5 for Rem 5R +1 Just got my A5 from McMillan for my 5-R. I love it. BTW, check your front stock screw when you go to drop your action into the A5. Mine was a bit long and was running into the bolt. You have to take a couple of threads off the end of the screw, or replace it with a...

Re: inside pix Sweet. We RV every season but we rent. Last summer we were looking at Gulf Stream Super Novas. Reminds me of that.

Re: precision rifles... show em Thanks. Loving the urban camo.

Re: Our Home away from Home Niiiice! That's the best of both worlds. I've never liked the Class A rigs because the cab-over area on the C's is so cool to have. Super-C's like yours are the way to go, and that's a particularly nice one to boot. Great paint.

Re: My Remington 700 5-R Dull gray. The pix are deceiving.
