I have an XCR in an Edge that weighs under 6 lbs.
Buy the rifle, dump the laminated stock. Although if it were me, I'd look for one in stainless instead of blue. At under 6 pounds I bet your XCR does not have Remington's heavy contour magnum barrel that is on their 7SAUM .. I have a M7 .260 Rem. stocked in a Wildcat stock (made in Alberta) that weighs around 6.25 pounds scoped with a Simmons 2X7 in Tally Lwt rings..
It's a great life if you don't weaken..

A model seven in 7saum with an edge stock could be just about all the rifle a north american hunter could ever need. Like this one? ![[Linked Image]](http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt32/Rancho_Loco/HUNTING/Little7.jpg) Yup. I've got two similar to that one. One in 243 and the other in 300 saum but with heavier barrels and beefier stocks. Thinking a lightweight M7 in 260 or 7mm saum may just round out the collection

Mine is about .65 at the muzzle. That is like a standard Remmy sporter contour. I think this is also what the SAUMs have as well, even though they call it a sporter magnum contour.

well, thanks for all the feedback. rifle is priced at $400, but i haven't sealed the deal yet - thinking that re-stocking the rifle w/ an appropriate stock will raise the price to a point i'm not willing to spend... still thinkin' on it.
Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It is much more important than that.

That's a fair price for the rifle if it is not shot much, but I see stainless ones with syn stocks going for the same price.

DD, I'm yet to see a rifle on the Rem web site that comes in at 6lbs. I understand yours is in an Edge, but have you done any other modifications to get below 6lbs? Do you have a pic you can post? CLB
