[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1064905, member: 10291"] Having owned 5R's in both 308 and 300WM, I am a strong fan of this rifle due to the barrel. In 300WM it is available in 24" or 26". In addition to my own rifles, several others that I have have observed also delivered competition grade accuracy right out of the box, and demonstrated characteristics typical of custom grade barrels. They clean quickly, and, in my experience will hold accuracy with extended shooting between cleanings. These are claims of the 5R rifling when chosen for the M24 sniper rifle by the military, that appear to have merit. Being a non-catalog item, I believe they are given an extra measure of fitment and QC when produced. The stock is a top quality HS precision stock that has a wider firearm, and Wundhammer styled grip which is slightly more vertical with a mild palm swell compared to the more sporter-type stock on the police. The trigger is the Mark-X that I would replace with a Jewel or Timney. Finally, it has an all stainless barreled action. [/QUOTE]
