[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1382861, member: 12995"] I also have a 5R Milspec...Actually 2 of them... A 24" .308 Win, and a 26" .300WM. Trigger swaps on both, made sure the barrels were fully-floating, and torqued the action screws to 65 inch-pounds. That's it. No other work was necessary. I bought the the .308 Win new back in 2010, and will shoot under 1/4-MOA with handloads. The .300WM I bought new in 2014, and still have never fired it. As for optics, almost all of my LR rigs have Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 MRAD scopes sitting in Seekins Precision low rings, sitting on EGW 20MOA bases.

I prefer SFP scopes, so both of mine are the SFP model, but they stopped selling them sometime last year, and now they only offer it in FFP.
