[QUOTE="carl1775, post: 1663329, member: 105682"] Buy the best you can afford. 5r, is merely a rifling profile and not some unicorn magical bullet thingy-ma-jig. As far as modern manufacturing processes and quality control, I agree a new rifle should perform as well as, or better than an old rifle that has been worked over. It's hard to beat .0005" accuracy in machining. I would still recommend purusing the advertisements for sale here and maximizing your dollar. The new rifles don't come bedded from the factory, they utilize a milled block that acts to wedge the receiver into the stock. Different concept, but provides the same outcome. Or, they are traditionally cradled, depending on the model you choose. [/QUOTE]
