Remington 5R in .223 - How do they shoot?

[300ATT]

Folks,

I bought 3 Rem 5R in .308 for my boys when they come of age. Of course I had to test each one and no surprise they all shoot great.

My brother is interested in .223 bolt gun and I was going recommend a Rem 5R in .223 but thought I would appeal to experience of the "Hiders" to confirm that this caliber shoots as well as the .308's

Who out there has a Rem 5R in .223 and how do they shoot?

Thanks for the input.
