Contact Red Hawk Rifles in CO. Dick will email you back in a few hours even on weekends. I'm building a 300 win mag and had a stock question last night. I had a response and Bell/Carlson model numbers that will fit waiting on me when I woke up this morning. Also, you can't beat his prices. Vincent

Re: 5r question
There are no mods required.
The 5R uses the exact same action as any other remington (SA for .308/.223, LA for .300 WM). It uses the exact same barrel profile as any rem varmint/sendero.
My feeling is that since they are advertised as using the "same barrel" as the M24, there was a mistaken belief that the profile was the same as the M24 and no one has bothered to correct it.
From the stocky stocks website for the B&C A5:
-fits factory hinged floorplate and Wyatt's Detachable System;
<span style="color: #FF0000">-Cut for the standard Rem #3 Varmint / Tactical barrel</span>;
-easily modified for 5R mil. spec. and most other heavy contours;
-includes the 700 SPS, XCR, VTR Varmint and Tactical type rifles.
The 5R <span style="text-decoration: underline">IS</span> a standard varmint/tactical contour.

Re: 5r question
The M24 and the 5R actually have different contours- the M24 has a heavier contour, like a Rem #4 or #5, whereas the standard Rem varmint contour is #3, which is what the 5R has.
So, the B&C Tactical A5 stock should fit the 5R right out of the box without any modifications.

I dropped one on mine and it fit like a glove. No adjusting required. Fits right in and I love it.
