Re: Any reason to Choose Remington 700p over 5r?
The 5R has 5R rifling, thus the name. Generally speaking, the 5R rifles are one of the best buys out there for a rifle that performs very well, usually 1/2-moa or better. I would only consider a 700P if I couldn't spend the extra $200 to get the 5R, or you have to have it in black. I had my first 5R (308) Bearcoated in FBI flat black, so there's another option.
