[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1433516, member: 105"] I've been partial to Remington Rifles for about 16 years now and have several that shoot better than I can hold. My favorite ones are the 700LTR and I have one in 308 and one in 223 that both shoot incredibly well with almost any ammo or handloads. Remington now makes a MODEL 700 5-R STAINLESS THREADED GEN 2 and I'll supply a link below. It's precisely what I'm inclined to buy but the RPR has such a great reputation that I'm on the fence. The 5-R Gen 2 seems almost identical to the LTR's but with a longer stock and barrel but it has the same shallow fluting that is somewhat ugly but it DOES reduce weight somewhat and doesn't seem to affect accuracy. I also like that it's stainless because I live in steamy Florida. [URL]https://www.remington.com/rifles/bolt-action/model-700/model-700-5-r-stainless-threaded-gen-2[/URL] Please help me decide. I'd LOVE to hear from someone that has one of the Remingtons already or that maybe at least has experience with a 5R rifled Remington in 6.5 or another similar caliber (eg. 308 or 260).
