Remington 700 5r 20” threaded barrel?

Looking for some input on this version of the 5r. How does it compare to the 24” bbl version for accuracy?

Thanks

I'm no expert on this, but in terms of .308 I would think it should be as accurate if not slightly more. However you will lose a little velocity. Again though, I'm no expert I'm sure some other members here can chime in a little better

will loose about 100fps over the 24", accuracy willl still be there, especially if you handload and can tune to your rifle

Precision won't be any different between the two.

Does anybody know if there are any in stock anywhere?
I see P&D has had some previously...

All else being the same, longer barrels are less accurate than shorter barrels due to whip.

 

[ultimate_monkey]

ill have to disagree with you on this...

shorter barrels are easier to tune loads for and may have a wider sweet spot , but long ans short both have the potential to be tack drives or oversize paper weights

Buddy of mine just bought the remington 700 sps tactical 308 from SFRC took it out this weekend and sighted it in at 200 yards and shot 5 10 ring shots, then moved back to 250 and with minor hold over shot the same group all with off the shelf federal ammo. Great gun and very accurate cant wait to start hand loading for him. Not sure if SFRC has any left.

That's a 1-10 SPS gun and not the 5R he's wanting.

I wasn't aware they made a 5R 20" otherwise I may have entertained it over my SPS ACC-SD (the one linked to).

Frontier Firearms has them cheaper then that though. Great guys to deal with.
