Yes, about 40 or so break in rounds.

So far it is dead accurate.

The scope is the new Millet LRS-1.

56 mm objective

I so love the Remi 700.. such an awesome platform for accurate long range shooting. Have one with a Medium heavy barrel, chambered in .308.. and can drive nails with it.

Great looking rifle!

I'd love to get one of those, but I cant find one anywhere.

Let's see some long range targets. Dead accurate and nail driver are a little too subjective for me.

Agreed a 10 shot group at 200+ yds will tell the story. Watch for uneven wear on the back of the recoil lugs, I have seen quite a few Remingtons that need that area lapped. Watch for vertical or horizontal stringing of shots, this could mean a bedding issue, muzzle crown issue or improperly torqued trigger gaurd/floor plate screws. Always clean the rifle from the breach end to avoid damage to the crown. Enjoy. I have never seen a properly set up Remington that wouldnt do 3/4 MOA or better with precision handloads. I wouldnt be satisfied with that one unless it does 1/2 MOA or better.

Interesting write up on a 5R. Everyone turns out a lemon now and then, but I wouldn't expect it from the custom shop - AccurateShooter.com Daily Bulletin
