The 5mm is a fantastic round. Personally, I have always thought that Remington didn't put as much effort into the rifles as they should have given the capabilities of the cartridge.
The cartridge has long been a bit of a cult favorite and seems to have a new following as well when ammo is available. It is important to note that a centerfire conversion has been available for many years too, so even if you can't get rimfire ammo you can always handload. With the 204 becoming so popular, it has drastically increased the bullet offerings for those handloading the 5mm too.
