In stock at OGC, $1299, 5R refers to the special rifling pattern

THE 300 WIN Features an X-Mark Pro Trigger and a M700 stainless steel barreled action with 5-R mil-spec barrel, the same type of barrel design used in the M-24 sniper rifles. Stock has aluminum bedding in block in standard VS configuration.  1/10 twist rate, five lands and grooves with an 11 degree target crown.

I bought mine in .223 from SEC about 2 years ago. I do know they have them in stock at OGC.

The .223 has a 1 in 9 twist. It loves 60gr - 70gr bullets. Especially match grade bullets.

Buds gun shop (online) has them most of the time in .223, .308 or 300wm

If you are getting the 300, take the bolt out of the gun and inspect the nose... they whacked the crap out of mine when installing the extractor rivet. Had to send it back to remington and they replaced the entire bolt under warranty. The non magnum bolts do not have riveted extractors and wont have this problem.

keep in mind there are two types of remington 5r rifles.  the black ones are made for a distributor called sports south and sold by Buds and are NOT stainless. 
Buds also sometimes has the stainless models which we stock and which are made for another distributor called Acusport.

good point, When I see a topic about the Remington 5R I automatically think of the "5R Stainless Special" I think this black one must be something newer because when I was doing my research on the 5r a few months ago it always meant the other one with the HS precision stock and stainless.
