BS with what you had to go through but at least it is finally right.

Finally!

Now, how does it shoot?

I agree But I am very impressed with the new one.

I am not sure but the barrel on this one seems different than my original..
barrel 1 just said 300blk 1:7 twist
barrel 2 just said 300blk (no twist stamp on it at all)
this barrel says 5R Tactical 1:7 twist


does anyone else with a 700 have a barrel that has the 5R tactical?

and as far as how it shoots tomorrow will tell and there will be a range video ( I am hoping its good enough for the best group competition)

I have the 5r tactical. Shoots excellent. Im more than pleased with it. I wish it was slightly lighter though.

[smustian]

I do not have a rifle with 5r rifling but understand it is supposed to be excellent. Sounds like they actually upgraded your rifle free of charge.

You would probably need to pull the action and barrel out of the stock. My barrel is marked 5R Tactical 1:7 twist. The 180 degrees is marked Remngton arms 300 AAC Blackout.

And it's a 1/10 but kept it since it is extremely accurate and the only subs I had trouble with were Lehigh 194 and Berger 230.

5r tactical 1:7 twist....late 2015 production......measures 1:7

Zero complaints with mine. Shoots as good or better than any 700 i've owned from the "glory years"

Glad to hear they made it right.....probably need a sub 1/2" to win
