[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1260635, member: 12995"] If you have a bad shoulder, the Nosler is going to be very painful for you. It kicks between a magnum and an ultra magnum...Because it's nothing more than an ultra-mag case that has been shortened to magnum length. Don't listen to everything you read on the internet... 1 out of every 10,000 people ever gets on forums to brag about how good their Remington 700 shoots...Most people just love to get online to b1tch about the ones that don't. I've only had 1 Remington not shoot, and it was a used rifle that had too skinny of a factory barrel on it, and once rebarreled it gave me no more problems. I've also had a Browning A-Bolt II that started giving me trouble, and a Weatherby Accumark ($2,000+ rifle) that had a bad barrel on it from the factory. My experiences dictate that any factory rifle can have issues, regardless of brand or pricetag. Most Remington 700's need 3 simple things...Trigger swap, bedding the action, floating the barrel. That's it. The 5R's need 1 thing...Trigger swap. I also suggest torquing the action screws to 65 inch-pounds (aluminum-bedded synthetic stock) or 45 inch-pounds (wood stock) as well. If you want a real-world opinion on the 5R .260 Rem I linked you to, talk to WildRose... He started a thread about his. He can answer just about any question you might have about it. Here is his thread... [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/remington-long-range-5r-have-i-lost-my-mind-175519/[/url] [/QUOTE]
