I'm thinking of buying a model 700 Remington .308 20 inch barrel stainless with the 5-R rifling. Anyone had any dealings with this particular set up? Are they worth the money?
My gunsmith, who also is a competetive shooter owns one. He thinks quite highly of it. The 5-R's come with 24" barrels unless I'm badly mistaken. The LTR and the SPS Tactical are offered with a 20" barrel. Possibly others.
I've owned one...the 5R shoots well for a factory rifle, but some folks online seem to think they are some magical rifle. I believe they run over $1k+ these days and I think you can do better for the same price.
Those 5Rs shoot as well as anything else I've seen, but as mentioned, people seem to believe that they are something magical. For a bit more than the cost of a factory rifle with a 5r barrel, you can have a semi custom rifle built.
