5r Rifling on Remington 700

[Blewis11]

Does anybody know what Remington 700 models are using the 5r rifling? Are they all stainless steel barrels? It seems like I read somewhere the VTR you could get in 5r rifling as well, Remington was using it on more than just their mil spec sniper rifles. Any info if the rifling is any better or is that just marketing or an old wives tale. Any info even somewhat related to this is much appreciated.

Buy quality, not hype.
M24 barrels are cut rifled (not by Remington), production barrels are hammer forged.
With that said, IMHO 5R are the best barrels that rolled off Remington production line. They did have SS, blued and triangular barrels.

The Obermeyer 5-R™ style rifling is simply a different style of rifling that has a more 'ramped', or angled transition from the groove to the land and back down from the land to the next groove. Our conventional 4 groove rifling has nearly parallel sides to the groove. The internet is full of information describing perceived benefits to the 5-R™ rifling over conventional styles, but most of this is comparing "apples to oranges" as they are usually comparing one manufacturer's "non 5-R™" to a different manufacturer's "5-R™" barrels. We have honestly seen no significant differences in accuracy or performance between the two styles of rifling when comparing our barrels.
