Rem 700 XCR tactical 300wm anyone shooting one?

[Float Pilot]

Just wondering if anyone has been shooting the 300 win mag XCR tactical? And what they think of it. Favorite handloads ect. I got one sitting in a box that has yet to leave to house due to a few too many projects. Been thinking about loading some 200 grain boat tails.

I have a Sendero in .300wm scoped with a Redfield LE-12 with rangefinder reticle, 24" bbl. Nice package, great shooter. It's pet load is only 62 grains of IMR4350 behind a 200 grain Sierra Matchking BTHP, Win mag rifle primer. I have a target laying around here in a stack - wish I could find it - but it's 5 holes at 200 yards that you CAN cover with a dime. I won a $50 bet with that group and I kept the target just to rub my brother-in-law's nose in it now & then. But it'll do that group over and over if I do my job.

I know that's a very light load for the WM, and I don't know if I'd go elk hunting with one that light (but I couldn't carry that rifle for more than a hour or two anyway!) but off a bench it works very well. Good luck. Do a search on THR and you'll also find other favorite pet loads for the 300WM. I don't have any personal experience with the XCR, and perhaps I should have said that first, but I can't imagine ANY 700 not doing its job.

This has a 1 in 10 twist and a 26 inch fluted barrel. I put a 4 to 14 power Leupold vari-x III on it with the Boone and Crocket reticle.
It is right at zero degrees F here now and I am just getting over the flu, so I can't get myslef to head out to the range just yet.

I also am anxious to hear any range reports on this rifle. I have been saving up my extra cash as this will be my next purchase.

Float Pilot,
Where did you purchase it from? Price?

I picked up the rifle, scope, mounts and some other stuff up in Anchorage.
It was a tad on the spendy side. Enough that my wife is still shooting lasers out of her eyes at me...

I've found that sometimes those lasers eventually run out of batteries... thank God. Also interested in the range report. Good luck, shoot well.
