fencer, if you want to step it up a notch but not get ridiculous, take a look at the 6BR family, and maybe consider a wildcat built from that. You can crazy accurate rifles out to crazy distances, but still get great reloadability, barrel life, value, etc. If you want to spend a few bucks, get a custom action and cut-rifled barrel, and put some nice glass on it.
That's my next step, anyway. I've had my 5R for quite a while, and the 6mmDasher is my next rifle. Remmy's are ok, good starter rifles, but despite what everyone says, you can and will hit the limitations of the rifle quite quickly. Especially for reloaders.
I've got about $1600 in the barreled action so far, and have high expectations. These are the rifles that the 1000yd BR competitors are using (and winning with) right now.
Lapua brass are about $80/100, but with annealing they'll last quite a few firings. Bullets, for Bergers (top shelf), are looking about ~.40 each.
