If you want to just take it out the box and shoot it - tikka

If you want to fart with it - remmy

I have one of each guns made in the world and they all shoot. 

I'm green with envy!

I don't have any ammo though...............

The XCR is a great rifle, glad to see the direction you're moving in. 👍👍👍

After you get the remmy to the smith and spend some dough you might get it shooting like a Tikka.

A friend of mine bought a Remington 700 SPS standard in the 30.06 last week (wedding gift card from me). It was advertised to be free floating and it wasn't. We went to shoot it and it was all over the place. Another friend of ours said he had the exact same rifle and it had the same problem, not free floating. So he had it free floated and shot it again and it's shooting 1/2 groups at 100 yards. So I guess that's something to think about if you go the Remington route. Not a huge deal, but there isn't going to be any "out of the box" accuracy, not with that model anyway.

R700's are God's gift to rifle shooters.

Great, I can't wait.

As stated above, Remington's are fabulous rifles, just typically need some work to get them where most accuracy buffs want them. Heck, the majority of my accuracy guns are Remington's, thought they all have some basic to very involved smithing to them. To the original OP, for and out of the box rifle, Tikka is hard to beat. As stated from all the ACTUAL owners of Tikkas above. ...

I personally love my Remington ADL in .270 with a cheap Bushnell 3-9 that I bought 11 years ago for $325 that was supposed to "get me by" until I could afford something nicer. That rifle is one heck of a boat paddle, heavy as heck too. Out of the box I shot 1" groups with factory ammo at 100 yards. I rarely clean it, it's been smashed in the rocks once when the sling broke (scope never budged when I check the accuracy later), it's been sat on several times (by me) laying on the tail gate of pickups, I've yet to ever have to re adjust the scope when I get ready for bear/deer season and I've sucessfully shot 6 deer and 1 bear with it... the list goes on it's been very good to me as bad as I've treated it. I also have to give props to the Bushnell scope. Oh yeah, I still have yet to replace it like I keep threatening to do every year, but I can't argue with success... I named her Ol' Bertha
