[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 540924, member: 10291"] I have three of the Reminton Mil-spects. The first one I bought a about five years ago was an incredible shooter with .25 MOA out to at least 500 yards. Shot quite a few 5 shot bug holes with it at a hundred. It liked 165 and 175 SMK's. It cleaned up in a third the time as my other 700's, and would hold accuracy for at least 200 rounds before cleaning. I think this is the biggest benefit to the 5R barrel. I used it a lot for competition and hunting but eventually groups opened up to an inch at about 2500 rounds. It probably would have gone longer but I shot it very hot at competitive events. Gave it to my son in law for hunting. The second one was not as accurate as the first one, but would do a .5 MOA. The third one is as accurate as the first but more selective about with bullet choice and load. All three rifles shot Federal 168 SMK factory loads into a half inch at 100 yards right out of the box. It surprised me that the distance to the rifling is very long. A 168 SMK is barely in the case when contacting the lands. Doesn't seem to matter much. Likes a 2.8" OAL with a SMK, the standard length of the Federal load. Probably one of the Military specifications. [/QUOTE]
