I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to try one of these rifles out. If so what did you think about it? How well did it shoot and did you use factory or handloaded ammo. THANKS.......

What does the rifle weigh, without scope?

I have one of these in a AICS 2.0 OD Green Stock, It shoots really well. I have a S&B PMII Mounted on It and a Harris BRS 6-9 Bi-Pod. Never weighted it, but it's pretty heavy set up like this. When I re-barrel, It will be much heavier.

That would be the .308. Remmy's in .300 WM standard is 1:10" twist.

Re: Remington 700 5r -.300 WM
Thinking about putting one of these in a JAE-700 RLA, threading it for my thundertrap, putting my Mk4 leupy on it... and calling it a day. That being said, I am also considering an ArmaLite AR-30 in .300wm.
Not sure what to do here.
