Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 700 XCR

This is how the XCR should come from the factory, with a HS Precision stock.
It'd be the same price as a Sendero, which isn't alot more than the tupperware XCR price now

Looks nice Tod, any chance you weighed that stock?

If I recall right the XCR handle weighs like 26 oz or so and that would be one of my concerns with going with a HS.

Thx
Dober

I like that, looks pretty good.
I've got a itch for a CRX in .375 H&H. I wont buy one until I have the money for the rifle and a new stock to replace the ugly plastic that come from Remy.

7.9 lbs with the 6x42 in talley lows. IIRC the stock is 32-34 oz

I thought it was about that weight. Like I said I think that the factory XCR handle is about 26 oz so by going HS the weight goes up a fair bit.

Still looks nice!

Cal and how's it shoot?

Thx
Dober

300WSM, shoots pretty good. I picked it up used recently, slapped it in the HS I had on my 22-250. First day out with it today

factory 180 gr Win PP


handload 150gr Nosler BT with IMR4007ssc

Yepper it looks like it'll shoot just fine...grin

Thx

Dober

btw that was 166 yards I cant wait to get a load done up and stretch its legs out to 750

looks great, shoots great, and to top it off ,it's a Rem 700. dosen't get any better!!!!!

Crazy Man!

In a few more weeks I'll post my XCR with its new stock...

I had no idea how rough my SPS SS finish was, til I picked up the XCR. Boy is it smooth...

what caliber is your XCR? The action on this XCR is nice and smooth, and of course the action/barrel finish is really nice compared to a SPS SS. It's used, but not abused thats for sure. Rifle looks mint. Couldn't refuse for $500 in the tupperware

just weighed both. 38oz for the HS, 30oz for the plastic XCR stock

Here is my XCR. I like the look of that gray stock. Went with the ~23oz McM Edge in black. Don't have scope mounted up yet, but will be up and to the range shortly.

So if yours is 7.9lbs with that 38oz stock, mine should be about 7lbs even with the 23oz stock? Or just a tad over that...

Thx Tod,

what's the cost of the HS?

Dober

got it for $400 canadian. In comparison a Mcmillan would be $540 Cdn and a 6 month wait. I do prefer the Mcmillan but the HS is not a bad stock at all.

Tony, that rifle of yours is a beauty. I would expect a 700 in a light stock with a normal leupold in talleys to go around 7 lbs maybe a bit less

Thanks. Have to say seeing that gray would have me second guessing the black if I had to do it over again.

That's a very nice looking set-up. I had a Rem 700 in 22-250 that came with an HS-Precision stock and it shot lights-out!! You should get a lot of mileage outta yours.....

I have a XCR in 270 and it's a tack-driver in the factory tupperware. I should've ordered a McMillan for it before I shot it.....now I'm just stuck with a super accurate factory-blah rifle.

Plus one, Nebraska (so there! )

I bought my XCR intending to restock it, and only bought an XCR at all because it was the only .338 Big Green was cataloging right then. Thing was... The damn thing SHOOTS, and to top it off, it's proven to be extremely stable and reliable, in terms of not shifting zero due to hold, bipod, rest, etc.

I will add, I've hunted that rifle in actual "extreme" conditions. Those grippy pads are actually very nice, in snow and freezing rain and so on.

I think this is the route I'll go with my next XCR. Its a toss-up between 270 WSM and 300 WSM. I think I will go McEdge in OD Green or another B&C Ultralight in OD Green.
