Remington 5R advice

I like the palm swell. To me the 5r isn't much of a carry gun. It makes for a good production bench rest gun though. It's pretty heavy to pack around. So having said that the palm swell is ok off a bench and in reality it's not a custom gun and if you put 1000 rounds through it and get used to it I doubt the palm swell will bother anyone to bad
 
Have a Rem LR 300 WM all stock hard to find a load it wont shoot well. Going to put a break on it and a different trigger.
I Love the palm swell. Been buying the Kickeez stick on ones for my trap gun for 22 years and about 80,000 rounds

This was a 5R.
Mcmillan HTG
Badger BDL bottommetal from stockys
Old school Rem trigger
Vias brake

Shot the 215s very well and easiest load development I have had to do.

Was a little heavier than I wanted toting through the woods where I live so off it went.

So I just bought a Remington 700 5R gen 1 in .300WM. 26" non threaded barrel. I also ordered a timney trigger for it since I now I won't be satisfied with the factory trigger.
You will love the timney trigger
Thread it and put on a T-3 Terminator muzzle brake.
It will recoil less than a 308 and will allow you to see bullet impact through your scope

So the question is, does anyone have one of these and if so are there any other changes to the rifle I should think of immediately?

This is my Gen1--Wish I would've sprung for a Gen2 like WildRose said previously. It's a great gun that's fun to shoot with a brake/suppressor. Just not fun to carry.
