My new Remmington 700 R5 Milspec outfited with a Leuopold VX3 4.5x14 and bipod. Just got her last week at McBride's Gun Store in Austin. Has a HS Precision Composite stock, XMark Pro Trigger (adjustable) and 24 " Stainless Bull Barrel. Trigger is set at 3.5 lbs from the factory.


This is my first time to the range shooting A Federal Premium Sierra MatchKing BTHP at 100 yards off the bipod.

I bet that would cut in half with a lighter trigger

Awesome rifles !!

Good groups but Ill bet you a dollar they get tighter !!

thats a big group haha i had one and am still kicking myself for selling it i shot black hills 168 grain molly coated hp match loads seemed to like them alot shot groups like that or smaller all the way out to 400 never got to shoot it any farther but ide never put a leupy on mine

Awesome gun and awesome group! A badger bolt knob would set it off!

The adjustment allows for 2 lbs (3-5 lbs). I have read where some are getting down to 2.5 lbs. May look at lighter trigger option to get down to around 2 lbs. Any suggestions on a trigger?
Thanks.

Jewell. Put one on my 5r and love it.

Very nice gun !! How much was it ?

Jewel is going to win the popularity award for triggers.

For the money a installation ease Timneys are awesome. 1.5-2lbs would be great on that rifle

cool
I have an LTR with a Jewell
my handloads of 165 ABs are putting them in the same hole at 200 yards and .5 at 300

Like the others said, great group but they will get even better as the barrel gets broken in and with handloads could get even better

My LTR is a lifer gun for sure..

I bought this one on the forum and love it!

http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1704561/1

loaded some 150 serria game kings and berger 168 VLD's with varget powder and it love them. Both shot a 5 shot group at 100 yards and a dime will cover all of them.

I paid $1,100.00 new.

Glad to hear someone is getting some use out of it, I know I wasn't!

Tin Star Shooting Range in OK paid 960.00 OTD

Jewel is a great aftermarket trigger but Im with BIL , I like Timneys !

This is gun only right? I assume you had to order the gun from Mc Brides.

Check with Becky at Sporting Arms in Lewisville. Last time I checked she could get them for 1100 or just under.

Becky is great to do business with.

Does anybody have experience with a 300 win mg 5R?

KC:
I was pretty lucky. Went to look at another Remington or two and the guy behind the counter said he didn't have them but said he had a great gun in the back. Came out with the 5R Milspec and it was love at first sight. Said I'd take it before he got a chance to take it out of the box.

Are you only planning on match shooting with this rifle or any hunting?

Jewell is the only way to go. They are simply fantastic.

Hunting is my primary purpose. Infact, I just took a buck with it last weekend. I wanted a rifle that I could take resonably long range shots on big game (400 yards plus). I do intend to do long range shooting at targets but haven't considered match shooting.

I bought this one's little brother from McBrides last year, same gun, just in .223 I put a Leupold 8.5x25 on it. I put a Jewel in it a week after I got it.
