RE: Opinions on the Remington 700 XCR
KEH75,
First off welcome to the sport & the hunting net board!
Next you picked a great rifle & caliber in my opinion. The 30-06 will handle all of north america's big game animals.
Just to let you know, I hunt all game with three rifles.
They are as listed:
25-06: Pronghornantelope & deer rifle.
7mm-STW: Long range shooting rifle & heavy to carry. Pronghorn antelope &Deer. Sometimes I take this one elk hunting, but not often.
300-winchester magnum. Elk & Black bear rifle.
Good luck,
WK
