[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1951334, member: 10755"] I have one 5R from the custom shop that I got for a steal. The stock is very robust, mine had a Picatinny rail already installed and pinned. Mine is also threaded, but we can’t use suppressors here and I don’t like brakes. To be honest, I haven’t even mounted a scope on it yet, let alone fired it. LOL. I like the feel of it, it feels just like my Sendero’s, it is lighter than my LR, but the drawbacks for me are the X Mark Pro trigger, the pressed metal follower, which all 3 of my other recent Rem offerings also had, the cheap cast bottom metal and the bolt timing has all been off as well. I don’t think Remington make a QUALITY rifle anymore, they rely on their name and price accordingly but do not deliver the goods. Everything about them has been cheapened, but without the cheap price tag. I have had to swap bolts, bottom metal and triggers just to get what I should have gotten in the first place. I just do not understand how a rifle that costs $2825AUD comes with cast bottom metal that is PAINTED, pressed metal follower that hangs up and a trigger that is, frankly woeful. I paid $135USD each for stainless bottom metal, surely Remington could make them cheaper than that or outsource for a lower price. Anyway, if you think they’re worth the money, then go ahead with it. I did, but it cost me more to get what I wanted. I will say I have never had a top Remington line rifle not shoot. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
