Remington 5R advice

[jpfrog]

Mud and Frog ought to trade the stocks they don't like.

That would have worked back when I had the B&C, but I sold it and bought a 5r takeoff so I'm good now. I actually have 4 of those HS takeoff stocks now.

I like the palm swell. To me the 5r isn't much of a carry gun. It makes for a good production bench rest gun though. It's pretty heavy to pack around. So having said that the palm swell is ok off a bench and in reality it's not a custom gun and if you put 1000 rounds through it and get used to it I doubt the palm swell will bother anyone to bad

Have a Rem LR 300 WM all stock hard to find a load it wont shoot well. Going to put a break on it and a different trigger.
I Love the palm swell. Been buying the Kickeez stick on ones for my trap gun for 22 years and about 80,000 rounds

This was a 5R.
Mcmillan HTG
Badger BDL bottommetal from stockys
Old school Rem trigger
Vias brake

Shot the 215s very well and easiest load development I have had to do.

Was a little heavier than I wanted toting through the woods where I live so off it went.

That's awesome! I want a 5R now!

So I just bought a Remington 700 5R gen 1 in .300WM. 26" non threaded barrel. I also ordered a timney trigger for it since I now I won't be satisfied with the factory trigger.
You will love the timney trigger
Thread it and put on a T-3 Terminator muzzle brake.
It will recoil less than a 308 and will allow you to see bullet impact through your scope

So the question is, does anyone have one of these and if so are there any other changes to the rifle I should think of immediately?

This is my Gen1--Wish I would've sprung for a Gen2 like WildRose said previously. It's a great gun that's fun to shoot with a brake/suppressor. Just not fun to carry.

Why would you not be satisfied with Remington trigger ?

Because the X-Mark Pro lawyer-proof triggers suck.

 

[Joefrazell]

Yeah the x mark pro was the first thing to come off my sendero.

 

[Deleted member 48126]

**** I want one now! Anyone got a 5R in .308 they want to get rid of? How about the .300BO remington 700??

I see you opted for the old M40 look also.

ya I've got a Remington varmint .308 with the x Mark pro trigger and it' ok but it really needs to be replaced. can't wait to get my new rifle, it'll be home Wednesday.

Yep, I love the lines of them. I've got a Grayboe Terrain that I might throw on there, as well, just for grins. Same profile.
