5mm remington magnum

THIS IS A PART ARTICLE FROM GUNS AND AMMO THIS MONTH,wonder when they will get here

The first new rifle in decades to be chambered for the 5mm Remington Magnum is CZ's 452 American.

 

If those ballistic claims hold true once we get some test ammunition, then the new 5mm Remington Magnum looks like it will have a ballistic edge over both the .17 HMR and .22 Magnum. A box of 50 rounds will reportedly retail in the $17-$20 range, so don't expect the 5mm to give the .22 Long Rifle a run for its money in terms of popularity. But for those wanting something different--and powerful--in a rimfire will want to give this number a look.

 

The new ammunition won't be just for those with an old Remington or T/C barrel, though. What got my interest is that both Taurus and CZ are chambering new guns for the 5mm.

 

Taurus has a new 9-shot Model 590 in both blued and stainless steel. The new guns sport 6 ½-inch barrels and adjustable sights.Currently, Taurus is estimating the guns will begin arriving sometime this summer.

 

CZ's offering is in its positively classic-looking Model 452 American. Shooters familiar with CZ's "American"-style rifles recognize them as the ones where CZ chucked those European features such as hog's back stock combs for American-style features, and my fellow Americans--we responded.

 

Keep your eye on our site for detailed shooting reviews of these guns as they become available, or check out the print version of Guns & Ammo magazine on a newsstand near you.
