Title: Rem 700 XCRII RMEF in 280 Rem
Post by: Skillet on October 15, 2018, 12:14:16 PM: Found a nice looking used one, but cannot seem to find any info on this combo. Have a couple of Q's for those that know-

What years did they make the RMEF XCRII in 280?
Anybody know the twist rate on the barrel? It's 24".
Any negative commentary on the TriNyte finish yet?

Thanks-

It appears in general, folks are happy with the XCR's though.

Post by: Karl Blanchard on October 17, 2018, 12:02:10 PM: Bullblaster is correct. It's just a normal xcr2 that has the rmef stamp on the floor plate. They are auction guns made for rmef by Remington. Great thing about them is since they were won at a banquet by the person they are probably not into them more than 20 or 40 bucks in tickets so wheeling and dealing is usually pretty easy

Check here:

If not, I have emailed Remington with a serial number and they promptly replied with the date of manufacture.

I won one at an RMEF dinner and sold it to a member on here. That was about 5 years ago. I can't answer any of your questions, buddy.
