I'd probably try to buy it if you told me where you found it.

I would buy a Gen1 700 5R Milspec for about $60 less... Same rifle, but better barrel, IMO. And this is coming from someone who owns 5 Senderos and 2 Gen1 5R Milspecs.

Well the only report I have is that they were actually out of stock and ended up cancelling my order!!! back on the hunt again....thanks for the other suggestions as I do like the 5R barrels. I have been looking at the Gen2, seems like it would be nice to have the threaded barrel for a brake or suppressed.

I agree, but the only f-up (in my opinion) that Remington made on the Gen2, was making it a 24" barrel for the .300WM, instead of a threaded 26" barrel.

I saw the same thing....might be a better option to go gen1 and have the barrel threaded....I have a guy that will thread the barrel for $50 so that wouldn't be a terrible option

I was in your shoes and wound up going for the gen 2 because smith options around my area are slim and super pricey because of that. But if you have a smith that can thread it up for a reasonable amount, I'd save the money and grab the gen 1 off of buds. They're a steal at the price they have them currently.
