You would love it!!!

I bought the same rifle last fall in Florida with a brake installed, still new in the box for 650...

I have owned the SPS previous to this one.

Word to the wise, DO NOT put a cheap scope on it.. It will eat it for lunch.......

This is what I'd do to it almost immediately

rtspring · « **Reply #4 on:** May 12, 2013, 06:15:10 PM »

Mine will be used for Elk this fall, then shipped off to get a whole bunch of work done! Mine shoots great out of the box! But I wanna get all the bang out of the gun and the caliber has to offer!

Do a youtube search. Guys are making these extreme long distance rifles

I've owned a couple Rem 700 RUM's, including the XCR in question. I love that gun! I chose to opt not to put the muzzle break on it because I am not recoil sensitive, but like the guy said before me, dont skimp on the glass!

I prefer the original XCR finish to the finish on the XCR 2 that remington sells now also!

KFhunter · « **Reply #7 on:** May 12, 2013, 08:21:42 PM »

wonder if it'd be possible to match that finish on an aftermarket barrel

The XCR I'm looking at is the 2009 model, I probably would already own it but they're still asking MSRP

It might be close but won't be the same. when I did my muzzle brake I called Remington to figure out if I could get the barrel re done because the gunsmith put vise marks in my barrel. they wouldn't even give me the name of the company who does it for them. Searching the web I figured out where they sent them and got ahold of them and they wouldn't do it because of proprietary data b.s. and they are more of a production type shop so it wasn't worth it to do one barrel.

It took me about 3 months of waiting but eventually one came up on Gun Broker with 6 rounds through it that was too much gun for the original owner. I paid $625.00 for it, shipping, FFL & tax it was in my safe for $740.00. I scoured GB, Guns America and Gun Aution daily. They are out there with little use for a reasonable price if your patient and dilligent. Good Luck!

Don't know yet, but will soon hopefully. Did just get two boxes of Nosler's 180 Accubond load and hope they do well. But man are they spensive

Is on a blueprinted 700 action, 27", #5, 1:10 twist fluted Lilja barrel. Holland muzzle brake, Holland recoil lug, Jewell trigger, Callahan Obendorf bottom metal, Wyatts extended magazine, Greybull Precision stock painted GAP camo. Bolt fluted by Kampfeld, PT&G speed lok firing pin assembly, Badger Ordinance 20 MOA rail, Burris XTR low rings, Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x50mm long range. Action, barrel and brake cerekoted except in the flutes. About 150 rounds through it.

Have a new AR on the way too Jud. Rock River upper, Frontier lower, 5.5 lbs as is, without a sight. Thinking an Eotech for it.

What a steal!

Taco280AI · « **Reply #18 on:** June 10, 2013, 05:25:23 PM »

This trigger is light! Wow, can't wait to shoot it!

Biggerhammer · « **Reply #19 on:** June 10, 2013, 09:05:12 PM »

This is a XCR in .375 Ultra Magnum, I got a smoking deal on this one from another forum. 650.00 delivered for the rifle, dies and 100 pieces of brass 85 of which were unfired. I had Benchmark barrels install the muzzle brake. Shot the 260gr Nosler Acuubonds real well @ 3050.

Did Remington ever make the xcr or the sendero's in lefthanded?

Yes, Remington did make the XCR in left handed. They did not, however, have the Sendero like that. If you check out the rifle classifieds there is still a XCR in .300 RUM available for purchase.

b23 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 12, 2013, 08:12:14 AM »

Didn't the XCR used to come with a HS Precision stock or have they always come with that cheap POS Hogue stock??? I would recommend/purchase the Sendero over this gun.

TheHunt · « **Reply #24 on:** June 12, 2013, 10:36:36 AM »

Sendero's are at a resonable value is hard to find
