The one I laid hands on is smooth, and the trigger is nice. I would definitely put it in a new stock. I’ve read so many complaints about Remington in the past 9-10 years, though, I’m hesitant to pick up a new one. I’m torn between the XCR and a Tikka in 30-06.

I have a 30+ year old Remington that has not given me any problems, but I also have a Tikka in 7-08 that is great too.
