Hey guys,

I am brand new at precision rifle shooting and I am picking up my first bolt action rifle. I ordered a Savage 10 Precision Carbine and will receive it in a few days. The only rifle that has made me second guess my decision is a Remington 700 5R.

I will more than likely do most of my shooting within 500 yards, and would like the ability to work my way up to 1000.
No hunting anytime in the near future.

Here are the features I'm looking for:

20" threaded barrel
Capable of shooting MOA out the box (Granted I can do my part)
Not in need of any immediate upgrades
Durable/Reliable

Which is the better of the two rifles? I think both rifles are capable of fullfilling my needs. I like to buy once cry once, but I'm not sure that the 5R is worth the extra $300. Plus I will have to sell the Savage 10PC because it has already shipped.

Your help is appreciated.
