[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1230256, member: 12995"] Yes and no... None of the 5R Milspecs were ever listed in the Remington catalogue. So, while they are a limited run, they make them once a year, and then once they sell out, you gotta wait till the next year to get one. Also, the contour of the 5R Milspecs is the same as the Sendero/Varmint rifles. The M24 rifles that use these same 416R stainless barrels are kept at an MTU/M24 contour. The 5R civilian models are turned down to Sendero/Varmint contour, so it's still not a light-weight contour, just lighter than the M24. I will say that I wish they had made it a 26" barrel...But my 24" .308 Win 5R shoots amazing. So, it's not a huge deal, just a personal preference. These have the proper 1:8 twist, you should not be disappointed, once you swap the trigger. [/QUOTE]
