Looks like a nice piece .. It is pretty bad when they don't offer their 300 short mag and offer the 300 wsm .. Looks like the remington 300 won't be around long ..

Your comment about the WSM was exactly what was going thru my mind.

I really like mine. 270 win. Leupold VX-III 3.5-10X40mm Boone and Crockett reticle. Very nice shooter!

i wonder how weather resistant the new type finish is. when i looked at teflon coatings they always talked about things like salt spray tests and how many hours it could withstand it. is this a coating or just a type of stainless that is better at resisting corrosion.

Here's a quote from the Remington website.

"Extreme conditions call for an extreme gun. And never before has a rifle this durable and rugged been introduced to the world of hunting. The cutting edge in rifle design, the Model 700 XCR (Xtreme Conditions Rifle) uses Remington"™s proprietary new TriNyteâ„¢ Corrosion Control System to make the Model 700 XCR virtually impervious to even the most extreme conditions. The TriNyte System takes firearm protection further than it"™s ever been before by using proven corrosion-fighting materials and an innovative, state-of-the-art application process. The result is a finish that provides scratch and corrosion resistance far superior to stainless steel alone and better than any other gun on the market."

I was looking for that in a rifle when I bought mine. Been happy with it so far.

just curious do you think they will offer the 300 WSM in the model 7 for next year and I do think the Remington short mags are doomed
