[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1062950, member: 13632"] You can absolutely get a better rifle than a Remington 5R 308, it would be right at the bottom of my list in fact, short mag box with a 1-12 twist rate the thing is made for short blunt Sierra bullets and 600 yards, we have soooo much better bullets and we have powders that will push better heavier bullets fast than ever before. If I would do a Remington go cheap and plan on spending money to get the thing to what it should be day one. Savage LE series model 10 FCP McMillian will destroy a Rem 5R in 308 all day long and twice on Sundays because you can use the best bullet available to the 308 today, not the best bullets 40 years ago, WAYYYYY better stock design and a 3 inch mag and a functional trigger day one!! You can bring the Rem up to it but you'll have to slap it with your wallet a couple times!! Before anyone calls me a Savage fan boy, my advice for a 300 Win would be exactly the opposite for the exact same reason so nobody make the one stop solution but some companies make certain chambering in much better configurations.
