[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1517075, member: 32525"] Make sure you know which you are buying- Remington makes a 5r, which is stainless action and non-fluted barrel (24" threaded or 26" non-threaded) and sits in a black with green webbing HS-Precision stock. They make a 5r Gen II, which is stainless that is cerakoted black, has a knurled tactical bolt knob and a fluted and threaded barrel (.300 win mag is 24"), and it sits in a tan with black webbing HS-Precision stock. They ALSO make a Long Range model, which is matte finished carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on the version...26" barrel (not 5r rifling). This sits in a black with grey webbing Bell and Carlson M40 stock. IMO- the 5r, be it gen 1 or gen 2, is a fantastic buy. I have the Gen 2 and love it. I have owned the Long Range, and wouldn't recommend it. It's fine as a donor, but the 5r Gen 1 or 2 are perfect out of the box...only needs to be a donor after you wear out the factory barrel. :cool: You will need to replace the trigger no matter what route you take...good luck with your purchase!
