New Remington XCR II
The Remington's XCR II is a new long action Model 700 rifle. It does not supersede the original XCR, which was introduced in 2005, but will be offered alongside it.
It features a OD Green stock with rubber Hogue grip inserts. The stock looks very similar to the distinctive stock used for the very successful Remington VTR rifle. The gun's stainless steel metal work is finished with Remington's corrosion resistive TriNyte finish.
The rifle will be offered chambered in 25-06 Rem., 270 Win., 280 Rem., 7mm Rem. Mag, 300 WSM, 300 Win Mag , 300 Rem. Ultra Mag , 300 Rem. Ultra Mag , 300 Rem. Ultra Mag , 300 Rem. Ultra Mag , 375 Rem. Ultra Mag and 30-06 Springfield.

Actually I have never shot a .300 RUM.
Mike your sadly mistaken on 308 being a horrible round. It is a great round. Killed many a enemy and wild game.
You said .300 Remington Ultra Magnum 3 times. Do I detect a hint of favoritism here?
Mac_Trekkie, LOL, you saw through my subliminal tactics
Actually I have never shot a .300 RUM.
I wish Remington would drop the ugly, cheap looking, rubber stock inserts and use molded in checkering. I would never buy this rifle the that horrible looking stock.
zzzzzzz….nothing new to see here. Chamber it in 7.62×25 or 7.62×39 and you’ll have something different
if you want .308 just get the VTR, same stock except it has that fancy triangular barrel. the desert recon version with a tan/MARPAT stock is awesome looking
Why would you chamber a long (.30-06 length) action in .308, a cartridge specifically designed for a short(er) action?
I, too, would like to see this rifle in .308, although my Savage 99 .308 can put 180 grainers right into the engine room on the el rayo equis elk target at 200 yards from three field positions plus using a tree limb as support.
So… this is a VTR but without the vented fore-end or the funky triangular section / compensated barrel?
anon, its also a long action.
lol, my first reaction was also “where is the three-oh-eight?”.
For now it is long action only. I don’t think they will produce a short action version. Other remington rifles fill that niche.
This is the long action version guys
So, do you think it will be chambered in .300 Rem. Ultra Mag?
308 is pathetic any way it is a horrorable round
Burst,
Thank you. My thoughts exactly on no mention of .308.
No .308 makes me a sad panda.
