Remington 700 XCR

I noticed on Remington's website they have a few new models. Has anyone handled or shot one of these XCR's? I also see they are offering WSM's now.

It is a good looking gun and I like that finish on it..they probably won't be hitting dealers shelfs for awhile

RE: Remington 700 XCR

The synthetic stock from this rifle with the grip sure looks like the Sako synthetic stock. I wonder what they used for the surest grip as they noted?

Unless I am really off base it is the same stock manufacturer HOGUE that builds both

RE: Remington 700 XCR

I’m not sure on who manufactures the stocks but I’m sure Sako must have some sort of copyrights on there design with the rubber grip molded into the stock. I’m just wondering what Remington is using or how they are accomplishing what they stated.
