comparison remington 700p to 5r milspec

I introduced myself a while back, I pretty much just read when i'm here, anyways I would like a bit of advice on a purchase i'm making soon. The guys at the gun shops in my area are not much help in answering my questions, and i've done a good amount of research but i don't have all the info i want and I feel this is a good resource. My question is this: What is the difference between a basic Remington 700p and the 5r milspec model? I only care about the action and barrel as I'm planning on using a different stock. i know the 5r comes with the 1 in 11.25 milspec barrel, and a low end h&s stock but what is the difference in the action?, or is it smarter to just buy the inexpensive 700p and drop it in a decent stock? I also looked at the new tactical 700 but it seems to be the same thing as the 5r sans stock. Any help I can get from people who know I would greatly appreciate. If I had a bigger budget I would just get a sako trg22

thanks
