Title: remington cdl versus xcr II
Post by: HoofsandWings on March 10, 2011, 09:39:42 PM: Any big differences in accuracy?? I was looking at the abolt II browning long range with glass beded barrel,
but it may not become available for some time. Also, it may be beyond my budget.

I just bought a 300 WSM in the Remington 700 XCR and haven't shot it yet. Good luck either way.

However, I bought and turned it into "project 700" mainly because I hate the synthetic stocks and remington puts on their rifles (albeit their higher end lines that come with B&C stocks).Among the changes I did was buying an HS Precision stock and putting on a new Hart Barrel.

If I were to choose and knew that I would not alter it in anyway.. I would choose the Browning.

As far as the Browning goes, I do not know and nobody I have talked to knows when the Browning will be on store shelves.

I orginally had no intention of turning it into a project.. it just turned out that way. Glad I did though :)
