Yep, alot of folks don't realize that. One reason why I've always like the 700 other most others. Plus, all the aftermarket options for it, is second to none.I have a Rem AWR 5R in 7 mag that I really like. Shoots sub MOA with factory HSM or handloads. I don't have any Customs to compare to, but one thing that's great about the 700 compared to my Tikka or Sako is I can load all the way to the lands if I want to.
I think all the current AWR rifles have 5R rifling.Are the current AWR rifles in .300 RUM made with the 5r barrel? mtmuley
