I have a Rem700 XCR in .338. One of the best rifles I own; shoots lights-out. Maybe it's the flexy plastic stock and/or the Limbsaver but I find the recoil to be entirely manageable.
I *think* they are 24" now. Mine was 26", which is absurd for a .338. 22"-23" is about right IMHO. 24" would be tolerable.
The XCR coating really works, at least the older yellowish version.
