The 5R is fantastic - best out of the box rifle, by far, I've had, and there are well established loads for it if you're a reloader. I broke it in and now regularly shoot 500 meters with only one load. But its a little heavy for a walking hunting rifle.
The Tikka T3 Lite is an excellent rifle - found an accurate load easily, very accurate and very light weight. Not as accurate as the 5R at 500 meters, however.
If you can handle the weight and the cost, go for the 5R. Othewise, the Tikka is an excellent choice.
I feel the Remingtons are generally fine guns and have certainly seen xb40's and various 700 series guns shoot lights out. As far as who is best across thier line...I STILL think Savage has them and everyone else factory, covered.
