Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Rem XCR II

I have the opportunity to pick up a new Rem XCR II In 30-06 for a pretty good price. There are’t too many threads on the XCR. What is your experience with the rifle? Accuracy, finish wear, troubles?

Same as any 700 but better corrosion resistance as advertised. Good stuff imo.

I passed on one in 375HH a few years ago, I really regret not grabbing it while I had the chance.

Had one in 7RM and really liked it.

I.M.O. One Of The Best Set Up Remington Has Going.. Fit And Finish Is Spot On The 4-5 I've Owned..Remington Really Got It Right..

Yah, seems one of the varieties that got special attention at Ol'Green...

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.

Had 2 and finish flaked off both rather easily. Both were very accurate. One was a 308 and the other a 338RUM. The stock is garbage.

Peeshooter,

That’s the kind of feedback I’m looking for. Thanks.

You can't go wrong with a Tikka T3X.





Scratches easily or there were literally flakes coming off? If flakes do you have any pictures?

I have one in 338 win mag. I don’t shoot it much but seams like a good rifle.

I like them. I still want one in 338 RUM. I missed one for $650 by about 5 minutes....still makes me cry.

A lot of these were involved in the trigger recall. I’d buy it, slap a Timney or Trigger Tech in it, and enjoy.

Big flakes were coming off, oddly it did not scratch easily, maybe I had a bad application job but it was a sample of 2. Flakes coming off the action area of both not the barrel.

That's the chits. Thanks for the follow up and heads-up!

Now I love it and have taken several whitetails with it. I also just bought a 300 WSM.

Dang....you got fancy!

That’s nice. Did you have the bolt Cerakoted after the fluting and bolt knob? Is that Karl’s work? Also, it appears the end of the barrel has changed between 16bore’s picture and yours.

I own one in 30/06 that sits in a bell and carlson medalist that shoots sub moa. Very nice rifle imo.

Tape.
