Took the plunge.....Remington 5R

[Sprayed99]

I recently bought a new remington 5R 300WM.

As soon as I got the rifle in off to the gunsmith it went.

Current things that are being done:

RWS brake
Timney Trigger set at 1.5LBS
Cerakote barreled action in Armor Black

I'm also awaiting a new stock that I bought from Saleen63 on here. Manners T4 mini chassis in multi cam. When this comes in it will also be bedded for the action.

I have waiting a TPS 20MOA base that I will bed. I still need to get a set of seekins rings but haven't done the math yet to know which height I need.

*changed my mind sold the vortex PST and now on the hunt for a NF NXS

I plan to shoot it for awhile and get used to taking it out a ways hopefully 1000 Yds.

Maybe later in the year I will get the action trued and get a nice barrel for her.

Thanks to all that have helped me with the questions I have had. I really appreciate it.

PICS to come soon!


In the meantime I'm trying to find a HS Precision for the wifes savage 4.4" Anyone know who might have one?

I don't think you have to bed the mini chassis. That was one I was looking at for my rifle before going with the XLR.

You are correct. I'm having this stock skim bedded after the previous SPF TAC300 skim bedding is removed.

I pick this up today from a fellow forum member. Brand new

I'm hoping to get the barreled action back from my gunsmith in the next week.

My manners stock will be here Tuesday.

I have a feeling you are going to love that 5R. I have one and reading this thread makes me think about buying another one.

It's a half minute, heavy barreled, remington 700, what more could a guy ask for?

I've thought long and hard about buying a full custom Nighthawk or GAP, as well as buying an AI, but for a cool thousand bucks, the 5R sure doesn't give much up to them.
