Thanks for the response snowboardguy.
I have what you describe, but other XCRs of that generation that I have seen had a yellow/orange tint to the finish.
This one, not so much.
I wasn't sure if Remington offered that configuration in the standard, non-XCR flavor.
The only other model seven variety that I'm aware of ever coming with a fluted barrel was the predator model but those were all camo and didn't come in 270 WSM.
As you mentioned, the XCR trinyte coating does have a goldfish tint to it, almost a champagne color.
Do you have pics of the gun in question?
