[QUOTE="screech, post: 839616, member: 5135"] If you want buy the r5 in 300 win and see how it shoots. If it doesn't then you have the cost of getting it trued bedded a barrel and chamber job. If it shoots good from factory then you'll be in it cheaper if not your looking at about the same price as having a custom made off a custom reciever. If you time crunching I'm try the r5 if your not I'd get a custom. Hate to say it but in this world barrels are cheap after you account for everything else. Scopes, spotting scopes, rangefinders etc. Personally I always prefer to have one built buy 2 barrels if your worried about burning them up havethem cchambered at same time and head spaced the same and use the first one on learning and playing with powders and bullets etc and by the time that one is burnt out you'll have a pretty good idea what works what doesn't for second one and it should only take 50-100 rounds to have it set up [/QUOTE]
