5mm Remington?

[Todd Rahm]

Whats your opinions? I have a chance at one in excilent shape with 200 rounds for $400?

Do I need it? No, but it intrest me cause I like all those lil guns like the  .17hmr, 22 wm etc........


Any input?

[KySongDog]

Can one still get ammo for it?   It was a short lived caliber from back in the '70's.  Don't know much about it.

Todd,

Here's a company that is making the ammo again for the 5mm's.  Supposed to be a neat little round.  The Win .22WMR sort of did it in back in the seventies.  So it faded away.  Aguila is putting some new life back into the cartridge.  I'd offer the fella $375, and then jump on it!

I don't know much about the gun, or killing power, but the ammo was hard to find for a while. Partial boxes of ammo were selling for $70.00 for 47 rounds. A little expensive for rimfire ammo. I see in Shotgun News that Centurion Has recently made some. I don't know if it was a limited run, or if they will continue to make it though. I haven't heard anything bad about the rifles themselves.

Thanks Dave, I left the guy a message hoping he'll call back. He must not be on night shift like me?  If I didn't mention it its a 591.

Art, I saw the Centurion, and I found it for as low as $17 a box. Read somewhere else there might be another company fixing to roll some too?

Looks like a neat lil' shooter.

Here's some of the Centurion ammo for $15.42     ....Click on the pic.

HaMeR, I'm pretty sure, was asking about getting too.
I wouldn't turn one down, but then I got a kink that way. 

[HaMeR]

I would jump on it for sure.  Aguila is making the ammo & it is selling like a house a fire. Aguila also has NO intentions of ever selling to the highest bidder so the thought of CCI or Hornady buying them & discontinuing the ammo is not gonna happen. They will only stop loading it when 5MM owners stop buying it.

www.varminter.com has some interesting articles on their front page about this. Tim Mancillas & Andy Moe were instrumental in the load development with Aguila & have shared as much as they are allowed.

I think he is working on figuring out how to use Photobucket.

 I had a Remington 591 years ago for turkey hunting. I sold it around 87 with 5 boxes of ammo. I switched to the 218 bee for turkey hunting then.

If I had known then they would ever come out with new ammo again I surely would have kept it. Sounds like a decent deal to me.

[slagmaker]

After looking up info on the 5MM rim fire Magnum. I think I would like one myself.

[HaMeR]

At this point the only new 5MM is going to ba a Taurus revolver.

Not yet, still in negotiations.  Its look'n 99% sure though, thanks to all the pushing here.   

If I stock up now, maybe when I retire I can move somewhere where I can participate in the "Legendary FNF Ground Hog Wars".  If you guys leave any breeding stock. 

[HaMeR]

I'm sure there will always be groundhogs in Ohio Todd. I aint so sure about Pa with that HH fella over there tho.  You are always Welcome here to shoot some whistle pigs & I think I could find a farmer that would let you help me out some. I'll even have Diane run the camera.

Sorry Hamer it'll have to be Non-Obama Supporting State. 

[HuntnCarve]

Todd, hope it works out for you and you are able to pick up that rifle.  I was always intrigued by the round ever since I saw a commercial on tv back in the seventies during a hunting show.  Fellow shot an egg at 100 yards!  I was still a kid, but dreamed of someday having a rifle like that in my chuck hunting arsenal (which at that time consisted of a Marlin .22 rifle and a Ithaca single shot 20 gauge).  Ah, the chucks I could have collected (atleast in my mind) if only I had such a formidible shooting iron!   Good luck!

Check out the last election.  People in Ohio are starting to wake up.

Ohio voted for all the Bush's & Reagan. It appears we dropped the ball in '08 but the 2010 electiong proved we figured it out again. Besides that I only hunt on Republican owned property. 

[Todd Rahm]

I hope it works out for you Ohio'n brothers. 


Looks like the rifles mine. I go pick it up Friday morning and with any luck I might shoot something with it by time I get home (2 Hour round trip).  He also told me today he found the old scope that went woth it too, and that he would throw it in if I wanted it.  We'll see what she is.
