R-5 Remington 700?
Worth the money? Do you have? How accurate?

Two of my shooting partners have R5's and one of them has two! From what I've seen and read, the R5's are pretty awesome right out of the box.

I noticed that in my local gun shop, the R5 bolt cycle was much smoother than a Rem 700 PSS.

IMHO, although I don't have one, it seems that most favor the R5 over standard Rem 700's. I've seen them on the SniperHIde for about $875. My friend who has two R5's paid over $900 and says both were worth it.

One of his R5's has a Jewell trigger and a muzzle brake and that's about all he would consider for this rifle.

Good Luck.

Aloha,

Tom O.

I bought mine back in Jan and like it so far. I haven't really spent the "quality time" with it like I should but, soon, very soon. haha I have big plans for it. First will be to do a decent trigger job on it. That's about the only negative thing I have to say about it so far.

I agree mine is ok no creep and breaks clean but is heavier than I like despite the X trigger hype.
