Ive got the AAC-SD and love it. I'm shooting 3/4 at 100 with 150 Hornady SST's, but i'm new to shooting so it's probly better than that with the right guy behind it, or a great load.

I understand why he wants the stainless bottom metal. The 5R comes from the factory with stainless bottom metal. Normally when people switch out the stock they re-use the same bottom metal. I'm wondering whether he actually bought a 5R or if he's ended up with a cheapo parts gun built on an SPS Varmint. Of course the SPS Varmint uses stainless as well. The only way to tell is for the OP to examine the bore and determine whether his rifle has the five lands with angled edges or the six lands found in the traditionally rifled barrels. It is possible that someone installed the stock and bottom metal from an SPS Tactical, but why anyone would do that is beyond me.
It just doesn't make sense to me to remove a $300 dollar stock and throw on a cheapo $50 Hogue with non matching bottom metal. Something isn't right.
I just hope that the price reflected the condition is all I'm trying to say.

Apparently there has been a lot of quality issues with Remington. Whether it is perceived, real, or just persoanl bias, I don't know. I just bought a Rem 700 XCR Tactical Long Range in .223 and will consider another 700 if I want to move up to .308.
