Re: 5r Show n Tell

Cameron- I'm curious to hear your impressions of the 5R after hanging that FTE brake on there. I did the same thing to my gun and it was much more accurate with it on there. My gunsmith thought that the harmonics may have improved a bit with the weight of the brake on there. I'll post pictures and groups at some point.
 
Re: 5r Show n Tell

Never been a fan of the stainless or polished look on a rifle, just does not seem natural to me but....WOW....shir, you have a sharp looking rifle there. I mean, I want to be on that thing...anyone see what I did there...anchorman...no? Aww nevermind the funny, but it is a sharp looking rifle.

Post some range pics.
