[QUOTE="sakofan, post: 58359, member: 1278"] [ QUOTE ] Sakofan- I believe the Model you are referring too is the "700 Stainless Special 5R Milspec Barrel". The Remington Order No is 29663. The barrel is a heavy stainless and 24" instead of the usual 26". Stock is the same as a Sendero or VS and grey in color. This is a .308, don't know if they make anything else with the 5R barrel. My local dealer gets them in occaisionally, I think he said from AccuSport. I bought one in October and my buddy bought one this month. Very accurate for a factory gun, .3-.5 at 100 yards with 168 SMK and IMR 4895. However, it has a very long throat! Can't get a 168 SMK to touch the lands!

I have been out of town for a few days, and just got back last night. Yes, the rifle you mentioned is the one I was referring too. It looks like a M24, only stainless. I should have mentioned that.
