Remington XCR worth it?
Allright I am in the game for a new rifle and want a Remington 700 with a stainless barrel and synthetic stock. The caliber choiceI want is a .300WSM becauseI will be hunting deer(whitetail and probably mulies), bear, elk, long range antelope, and possibly moose and rams (if I ever draw a tag).
As for the gunI was looking at the XCR becauseit has the WSM unlike the SPS stainless, andI thinkI want the WSM over the Win. Mag. Plus the XCR has the special coating andI like the stock better. My boss told me a place where they sell guns for cost plus 10 percent soI thinkI could get the XCR for 700-750 if notI could get them on gunbroker for 740 shipped and FLL fees payed for,whichI dont think is too bad for a new rifle.
I will most likely top this with a Burris Fullfield II either 3x9 or 4.5x14
What do you guys think??
