[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1351443, member: 10291"] Over the past dozen+ years I have owned 4 Remington Mil specs(3-308,1-300WM) with the 5R rifling. I used them for factory class competition 200-300 yard Egg Shoots and hunting. All of them shot better then .3MOA, 5 shot groups, would hold accuracy to at least 200 rounds between cleaning, and would clean fast and return to zero within 5-6 fouling shots. With heavy/hot use I would get about 2500 rounds before would experience loss of accuracy(308's) They would hold accuracy shot hot or cold. My new Ruger Precision rifle in 6.5CM with 5R performs similarly. This surely leads me to being a believer in the stated qualities of the 5R design and their use in the M24 Sniper rifles. I will say that I have had excellent performance with my customs that have used a variety of button and cut rifleing designs. I have used Hart, Bartlien, and Wilson match barrels with good success, but I am partial to the Kreiger 4 groove cut rifled barrels and have more recently settled on them for my custom/competition rifles. They are very accurate and demonstrate qualities similar to the R5 barrels mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
