Well I know the 5r has many threads and I've read a number of them but my question is a little different I hope.
Back story is a guy my dad works with is getting married therfore he is downsizing his collection. He has on consignment at a local gun store a Remington 700 5R in 300 win mag(or 308, dad didn't remember off hand, but he thought 300) from the info I got on it, it comes with a bipod, mount rings, and a 14x50 scope. Fired very little, as in less than a box from brand new.
From what I understand everything is top of the line. He's asking $1300 for everything, and from what my dad says he would take a lot less.
I'm going to stop by the shop tomorrow and look it over. But from the info I posted so far would you buy it? I think it's worth it, but would you buy it? I'm only asking that because of the recent political and world events(that need no further debate here) that say maybe I should be looking at other types of rifles. and also because I already own a Remington 700pss in 308. I do hand load so ammo cost and avalibitity is of little concern. In the past I have only shot groups out to 100yards but my club range goes to 300yards, and recently I shot at a friends range that goes to 500yards. So if you were in my position would you buy this rifle?
