I have not seen an a Remington 700 XCR11 (TriNyte finish)in the flesh,so for those that have, how would you describe the finish of the barrel/action ?
Is it high gloss,semi gloss or matt finish ?

Have one in .30-06. I think it actually looks really good with the green stock. I like it alot. As a rugged, all-purpose rifle, it's perfect for me.

Is it smoother than the gravel-blast on SPS rifles?

Matte finish. Metal quality looks very nice. Dump it into a good stock and you're good to go.

I have two 7 Mag and 30.06 both sre MOA shooters ( factory ammo, not reloads )with the green and black factory hogue overmold stocks, I like them so much I think I'll order one in .300 WSM. I think they look fantastic with the black trinyte finish in the olive drab green and black stock. To answer your question I would call it a Matte Trinyte finish.............HB

I think the stock is fine for tupperware ... I had some QC issues with mine in 375 H&H, but my local gunsmith sorted it out quickly. It's real accurate. They're real light though, mine with the Leupold VXR 2-7x weighs only 7 1/2 lbs. I trusted it enough to take it bear hunting. I have the slip on Limbsaver because of my gorilla length LOP.

I have one also and the description by others as a matte black is correct. I am in the process of breaking in the barrel. I noticed the barrel isn't free floated. Are they all like that?

I weighed the gun when it came in. It weighs 6 3/8 lbs NOT 7 3/8 lbs. I was kind of shocked. Do a search on other folks that own them too. I was really concerned it would be a bear for recoil but shooting 375 H&H rounds it's fine. Here's a link from another campfire member ... http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/4965668/Remington_700_XCR_II_weight

Well, whatever you say - your gun, your scale.......but that 375 barrel is heavier than what's on a standard mag on an XCR, which I have handled & those just don't weigh 6 3/8 lb..........that what my KS weighs & XCR's have heavier barrels than KS's do & weigh more.
So something just doesn't add up.

Maybe my scale is jacked up. I can tell you the XCR II in 375 H&H with it's Leupold 2-7x scope on it is a pound lighter than my 70s vintage Rem 700 BDL in 270 with a 3x9 Redfield on it, both weighed on the same scale.

the .375 XCR II i handled had what sure looked like the Remington magnum contour barrel profile, just like my stainless SPS .375 RUM. the XCR II has a 24" barrel, and my SPS had a 26" barrel. (i cut it though) i did not weigh my SPS in the factory stock, but dropped into a AK Ti stock it is about 8# ready to hunt (optics, Montana sling, three rounds)

Might want to re-check that scale again. MM I had the xcr in 280 rem and it weighed less then 6 1/2 lbs...When I bought it I thought that it would be close to the catalog weight. I put it on the postal scale and was shocked.

I too noticed that The XCR II"s are very light, My 30.06 with Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 in Talley lightweights with an Uncle Mike's mountain sling weighs 7.72 lbs on a certified scale, My XCR II 7mm Mag outfitted exactly the same weighs 8.03 lbs. I don't know why but these rifles are considerably lighter than Remington's notoriously accurate spec sheet has them listed(laughing)............Hb

If my dealer has any in stock, I think I'll take my scale in & weight it..........last time I was there, he had a Bone Collector version.
If they really are 6 3/8 lb, I'd buy one in a 280; the finish one them is very slick & attractive.

Please let me know what it weighs as I used my youngest son on our digital bathroom scale and did a difference measurement (him without gun, him with gun) for both our 1970's scoped BDL in 270 and the XCR II in 375 H&H scoped. The BDL came in at 8 1/2 lbs the XCR II came in at 7 1/2 lbs but the scale / method could easily be a pound off.
