Well insofar as the rifle is concerned it is OK, the rub is gonna be feeding it. Assuming you are reloading the cost of brass is gonna be up there. Is this a first long range rifle for you?

Re: What do you think of this rifle
They are decent rifles . Accuracy is acceptable for the most part (MOA or a little better depending on ammo, shooter, conditions, etc.). The one I fired did NOT like anything over 180gr loads which is surprising given the 1:10 twist barrel which should handle much heavier loads. The 168gr SMK handloads I saw fired (not by me...by my friend who is the owner) were the best-grouping rounds to date put through the rifle were printing groups of 0.80" for 5 rounds at 100yds.
The 40X trigger is a nice touch and is a VAST improvement over the stock Remington triggers.
I am not personally a fan of the B&C stock on the rifle, but that is a matter of personal preference.
The only other thing I can say is that $900 is a great price if that is out the door for a NIB rifle. The sticker on those rifles is around $1400 or so with the street price still around $1200, so you are getting around a $300 price break.

You are hovering within 100-200 dollars of the price of a 5R. The 5R is a much better barreled action IMO. Stocks are easy enough to change dont let that be the deciding factor.

Re: What do you think of this rifle
i have to agree with anchor station i would get the 5r mil spec i have one and its nice.. another thing to remember is that more then likely your going to need a muzzle brake, so that's going to add to the cost because a 300 has a nice thump to it don't let any one tell u any different (lol) but the price seems like a good deal... if u don't like the stock i might trade with u just my 2 cents chaz

Re: What do you think of this rifle
I have a Rem mil5R in 308 and all my long range is in 308 now. Just wondering if it would be worth it. Too bad waited too long and gone now anyway. I know 308 is expensive now and 300 was expensive 3 years ago only can imagine what it is now. I will stick with my 308s until I shoot out a barrel and then probably go with a 260 or 7mm08. Thanks for the advice.

260 and 7/08 make excellent rounds and even if you rebarrel to 308 you will still be a winner.

I recently sold a Remmy VLS in 7/08 and it really is a great round. Only problem was not many places down here carried the ammo it liked.
