[QUOTE="Idaho5r, post: 1434077, member: 37191"] In all honesty, I've not shot, or even handled one of the RPR's. But, if you look @ my screen name, you'll guess what my vote is!! I love my 5r's.... I have a Gen 1 of the 223, 308, & the 300WM. The 223 & 308 were very easy to find a good load for, still working on the 300WM, haven't had it nearly as long as the other two. But I love the 5R models so much, I actually had another built to copy them. I took a stainless 700 SA, a Bartlien 5R 6mm blank, chambered in 6x47 Lapua, & put it all in a used 5R stock.... It's a "tack-Driver"! I guess i must be different, because I like the HSP stocks that come on the 5R's. Some hate the 'palm-swell', but for me it puts my trigger finger just right on the Timney 510 wide trigger I use!!! It feels great to me!!! So, my vote goes to the Rem 700, 5R! Oh, & you guys can keep taking off those HSP stocks, & sell them, because, I'm thinking of building another 5R clone...... Ha Ha Ha!!!!!! Good Luck!!!!! Idaho-5R [/QUOTE]
