[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1018658, member: 80699"] I checked my LGS today and they had a 5r in 223 in the M40 stock. That actually fit pretty well. I am nervous because it's a remington, but overall, I did like the rifle. I am going to see if I can find one in 308 like the 223 I saw today, definitely want the longer barrel. The only think that I don't know about is that I had planned to eventually (as soon as possible) rebarrel to 260, so not sure it is worth putting the money into the 5r....I think that might only be something to do were I going to stick with 308. But it's a thought....on the other hand, depending on what 5r's in 308 cost, I could probably pick up a Rem Long Range rifle. If I can get it for 600 (unlikely perhaps), then shoot it as is. If it's fine, fine. If not, then throw another 600 into it and have it rebarreled in 260...long action would let me seat them pretty far out... [/QUOTE]
