Remington Model 700 XCR Compact Tactical.

A new .308 / .223 tactical rifle from Remington. I am looking forward to reading reviews about it.

When it comes to tactical firearms, there’s no more trusted name in the game than Remington. In rugged endurance, our Model 700 XCR Compact Tactical Rifle truly stretches the limits.

Our Model 700 XCR Compact Tactical Rifle, features a 416 stainless steel barreled action with Black TriNyte® PVD coating, providing a diamond-hard layer of defense against the elements. It features a OD Green stock with black webbing, wide tactical-style barrel fluting for rapid cooling, hinged floorplate magazine, and dual front swivel studs and rear stud.

    Steve,
    I just found your website and thought that I would ask if you have been able to shoot the new Remington XCR 308 compact tactical.
    I have been vasilating between this rifle and having Sniper Central build me a gun on the Howa 1500 varmint with a McMillen stock (a cheaper way for me to go but a heavier gun.)
    I like the lighter weight, short action and features on the Remington as I am looking at using this gun to shoot targets and double as a hunting rifle.
    I look forward to hearing any opinions you may have, I am exploring my options.
    All the best to you,

    I bought one of these earlier in the year and can only say that it is a “hummer” or “tack driver”! I have the 308 caliber in the compact and it performs very well at ranges of up to 800 yards with a 168 grain sierra. I am sure that if I were shooting the 175 I could reach out to 1000+ but since I bought this primarily for a deer rifle I haven’t really tried to push that distance. If you are looking for peformance rifle out of the box then this is a great rifle! Very well built and very accurate.

    I owned both, XCR compact and long range tactical rifles. Both shoot sub-moa (less than .5” at 100 yrds) with FC 175 gr Gold Medal MatchKing.

    I purchased the .308 for hunting and targets. With VX 3-10 and 175gr and 168gr Federal Match it easily produced .5MOA @100 and I could shoot stamps at 200yards. That is before any trigger adjusting!

    I am looking foward to trying some Black Hills ammo in it.
