You would be correct with that assumption. Obviously, with a suppressor attached it becomes long and a bit unwieldy, but not as bad as some. Add to Wish List. 5R has become extremely popular and while the theory behind the use of 5R is good, the quality of barrel manufacturer is more important. It is also available for purchase by the general public where as the 700P is only available through law enforcement channels.One of those tactical features on the rifle is the large bolt knob. This rifle was purchased to make a statement to my government’s (Canada) ban on 1500 listed firearms.
It is a Remington 700 5R Gen 2 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. This exposes it to potential damage, additionally a nice recessed 11 degree target crown is also an accuracy enhancing feature as well, but not many rifle builders are using those any longer. The rifle arrives in the normal Remington rifle box but when you open it up, the first big difference is the color of the stock and rifle. Remington has decided to look to their past for inspiration for a new concealed-carry handgun, and they found it in the unique Remington Model 51, made from 1918 to 1927.

Then, with the sound suppressor attached, I got a 2.47-inch group that struck 1.16 inches left and 2 inches above the point of aim. But, I may go that route since I am already partial to the HS stock the rifle comes with. But you’re correct, there are three. This gives it a little different look than most. The entire platform is about as much as the HS mag weld conversion, ironically. It has no gas rings. The scope we were using was one of our regulars that we use for rifle testing. The other thing that always draws comment on these tactical HS Precision stocks is the palm swell. With recoil well managed, accuracy well above average, and the rifle feeding smoothly from the magazine, we figured it would do well on our 300 yard head shot test. “Piston guns don’t suffer from heat fatigue or as severe a heating and cooling cycle. Beyond that, everything is pretty normal in regards to the Remington 700 action, trigger and floorplate. The Remington feels quite sloppy and not so smooth by comparison but given the reputation this rifle has managed to acquire throughout it’s history I’m sure it will work out fine. So now our test includes accuracy (in MOA), time to fire three rounds (in seconds) and Energy at 300 yards (in Ft-Lbs). Even when shooting the Plus P and Plus P Plus ammunition, the R51 is very comfortable to fire. It appears that the second generation of the rifle is intended to be a compliment and alternative to their dedicated law enforcement rifle, the 700P. Due to the consistency of the Hornady load, we opted to use that load for the test and we dialed in .4 MIL of up and the same to the left to counter for the wind (it ended up being a little too much as you can see on the target in the picture below). It is different than traditional fluting and likely does not increase the cooling surface area as much as the more numerous style fluting, but it does save weight. We see this often with 6.5 CM rifles and it appears to be the shape of the cartridge that causes this. Or is it a worthless perversion of Pedersen's perfect pistol? The R5’s upper receiver and handguard is a monolithic system. Even though the suppressor was sized to fit a 6.8 SPC bore, it performed just as well on the 5.56mm carbine.My son, Luke, and I ran more than 250 rounds through the 10.5-inch-barreled R5 RGP over 10 minutes. Fast forward 20 years and the 5R rifling has now become a major selling feature on rifles and Remington is still making 5R rifles, but they are not the same surplus M24 barreled versions. There's only one way to find out. The knob is a little different in that it does not follow the swept back axis line of the bolt handle, instead it bends and points at a direct 90 degree angle from the bore axis. The price ran about $1100 and the rifles shot exceptionally well for a factory rifle. And we’ve done a lot more to the R5 than just taking an M4 and putting a piston system on it.
The AAC Blackout flash suppressor allows for the quick attachment of an AAC sound suppressor.The 10.5-inch-barreled version weighs 6.56 pounds unloaded, while the 14.5-inch-barreled model weighs 6.95 pounds. We also noticed with the Federal Gold Medal Berger load, that the bolt was tight to close each time, meaning that bullet it likely really tight up against the throat. The upper receiver/handguard is one unit that has Picatinny rails and M-LOK vent holes and allows a free floating barrel for accuracy.
