my new rem 5r

[allen200]

I finally picked up my first precision rifle the other day, a rem .308 5r 20". Was so excited to shoot i put a few rounds in the hill just to get a feel. Glass is next on the list but will be a lil while before funds are available. Already have 20 moa base and rings. First mods I have in mind are a muzzle brake and bolt handle. I've been lurkin round the site for a long time now and enjoy the vast knowlodge and firsthand reviews.

Which scope are you looking into?

I've got the same rifle. Put a Nightforce 3.5-15x50 F1 moa/moa on it and it shoots like a dream.

Which brake are you gonna get?

Re: my new rem 5r

I been looking through some nightforce scopes 3-15 and 5-22's. I had picked up a NF 2.5-10x32 npr2 last year and flipped it to get a bigger one but i'm really kicking myself now cause it would been perfect for my springfield M1A. Havent got to look through a F1 yet though. I thought bout the badger fte brake but recently read about holland radial brake so i want to find some more reviews.

Check out the Big Chubby muzzle brake by Rat Worx. My .308 feels like a .223.

I put a RAD brake on my AAC-SD and it made it a really soft shooter.
