Some time back I ordered a Remington XCR-CTR (extreme conditions rifle in the compact tactical rifle configuration.) it’s a 9 twist.223 fluted, somewhat heavy 20” barrel, aluminum block bedded in a B&C aramid fiber stock. Everything is stainless, but some kind of black, high tech finish. Stock is kind of OD green with black specks. I put a Timney trigger in it and a Leupold 1.75-6 from the Leupold custom shop that is finished in black splattered OD green to pretty much match the rifle. It’s a very accurate and reliable rifle. My only regret is that I didn’t get a matching one in .308 at the same time. For me, that would ring all the bells for a compact, rugged.308.
