Since I posted about Savage Arms coming into the AR market with four models to choose from. Looking over the features of these rifles the barrels come with the 5R rifling. I thought that this was a special processed barrel. Nope as I looked more into it. It is 5 lands and 5 grooves not like your typical barrel of 4 or 6 lands and grooves or a micro groove which is 12 shallow lands and grooves like in some of Marlin's lever guns. Doing a little research this type of rifling is supposed to enhance accuracy. Also reading over this I find that some of the competition shooters have barrels with this type of rifling. I'm not sure if Savage has this in their other line of rifles or not as I couldn't find any info from their site. As always I'll give a link for more insight to this. For those that wish to have a build done one might want to look into this type of barrel for their AR or bolt gun.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
