[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 446421, member: 13831"] While I don't own a 300 win mag with 5R rifling...Mine was a Remington 700 MilSpec .308 with 5R rifling. Some folks will say it's voo doo and not to mess with it. I can tell you my Milspec shot tighter groups and was easier to clean than a Remington PSS in .308 I owned. BTW, both rifles had been broken in the same way. Shooting Federal Goldmatch ammo...the PSS was a solid 3/4 inch group rifle at 100 and the Milspec was 3/8 inch maybe slightly better. And the Milspec seemed to shoot well with a variety of other loads....the PSS seemed a bit more finicky. Not sure I can say this was strictly due to the rifling...the Milspec has a 1:11.25" barrel and the PSS had 1:12" if my memory serves me correctly...so that might help as well. This type of rifling is offered by many barrel manufacturers...which you probably knew. I have this type of rifling in two custom barrels...one from Bartlein and one from Krieger. I've been extremely happy with this type of rifling....but this is IMHO....and I don't want to profess to be any sort of expert. As far as pricing....My Milspec was easily $300 to $400 more than a new PSS would have been ( retail prices.) I suspect what you're looking at is probably more $$ than an ordinary Remington 700 in 300 WM. Good Luck...If this rifle fits your needs...I would not be afraid of the 5R rifling. This style of rifling has been a welcomed addition to my collection of rifles. Wayne [/QUOTE]
