[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1177283, member: 10291"] I have been shooting the Remington 700 Milspecs for several years owning a 300WM and a few 308's. All have produced superb accurscy consistent with the performance of your rifle. My opinion is that the key attributes of the R5 barrel is that they are exceptionally accurate, clean easily, and will hold accuracy and zero well between cleanings. It does take a couple of fouling shots to stabilize performance after cleaning. I will normally clean my rifles after 150-200 rounds, and even aftrr this volume, accuracy has not eroded from the typical sub.5MOA performance. I use these rifles for competition and hunting. My rifles are stock except for the trigger, and I bed the lug. I added a muzzle break to the 300WM. The is typical performance of my Milspecs showing 5 shot groups of factory GM Match and a matching handload at 100 yards, and 200 yard 5 shot group of the same handload. The barrels last about 2500 rounds before accuracy eroded to .5-.75MOA. My rifles are frequently shot hot in summer competitive events. [/QUOTE]
