Remington Model 700 Stainless R5 Mil-Spec rifle...need Acu-Sport's price

[BBush]

I noticed that Acu-Sport has a Remington model 700 Stainless R5 Mil-Spec rifle listed on their e-mail to dealers for this week. I does not give a cost however, only saying call for price. Since the rifle is apparently an Acu-Sport exclusive, it is not listed in any of the other wholesaler catalogs that I have access to. I was wondering if anyone knows what Acu-Sports's price is for this rifle. I have done a little research on the internet on this rifle and it has gotten my curiousity up because of it's accuracy potenetial and it's similarity to the military's sniper rifles. Thanks for any comments back on a price.

Unless they have a special variation, the 5r is by no means an acusport exclusive, there are 3 on gunbroker right now for right around $950. Since acusport says call for price, you could always just...call them.

There is a used one in the local classifieds for 925.00

BBush,

The M700 R5 Mil-Spec rifle is made in fairly small lots for some of Remington's jobbers, and is not listed in Remington's catalog as a production rifle. While they have a pretty good reputation for being accurate rifles, the only similarity they have with the M24 Sniper rifle is the M700 action and a barrel with the same type of rifling. The barrel is not the same as is on the M24.
