Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of this custom Remington 700 5-R build?

The build features an HS Precision stock, Badger M5 bottom metal, a Badger 20 MOA steel rail, a Spuhr one-piece mount, a Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44 optic, and a Jewell HVR trigger. It's chambered in .308 Win and uses a Dead Air Sandman Ti suppressor.

Why is milling required for the Badger M5 bottom metal installation?

Significant milling of the HS Precision stock's internal aluminum chassis is necessary to properly fit the Badger M5 bottom metal. This ensures a secure and precise fit between the chassis, action, and magazine well.

What is the advantage of 5-R rifling in the Remington 700 barrel?

The 5-R rifling uses five lands and grooves with asymmetrical, chamfered edges. This design minimizes projectile deformation during firing, leading to improved accuracy and potentially better sealing.

What is the purpose of the 20 MOA cant on the scope rail?

A 20 MOA cant built into the scope rail provides additional elevation adjustment range. This is crucial for long-range shooting, allowing the shooter to dial in impacts at greater distances without running out of scope turret travel.
