Remington 700 XCR

[Taciturnicus Letum]

I am in the market for a good solid long range rifle. I have heard a lot of good about Remington 700's and every time I have used one their performance was flawless. I am setting my sights on a Remington 700 XCR and was wandering if anyone has one and if so what are it's pros and cons?

I like the idea of a rifle that is utterly scratch and corrosion proof. You can't go wrong with the accuracy and durability of a Remington 700.

What I didn't like about the XCR was the cheap feeling injection molded stock and the fact that the coating on the barrel gives it a weird yellowish tint. If you don't mind the looks of the gun though I'd say you can't go wrong. Besides, it's built for functionality, not looks.
