Remington M 700 - In Remington's nomenclature, XCR stands for Extreme Condition Rifle. In fact, this rifle has a stainless steel construction and polymer materials that can safely withstand long periods of hunting with little or no maintenance without losing accuracy. It is based on the well-known Remington 700 series.
Remington XCR rifle with 7mm Remington Magnum. The acronym XCR stands for Xtreme Conditions Rifle, referring to the high resistance of the rifle and parts to adverse weather conditions.
Remington M 700
The XCR rifle belongs to the Remington 700 series, which was an instant hit when it was released. It looks great and the trigger is very crisp and flexible. Later, the Ilion-based company introduced the "X-Mark Pro" trigger, which has a pull weight of about 2.5 kg, as a successful attempt to defend against noisy local lawyers. The trigger is here too, but I put it at about a pound and a half and I like it that way.
Remington Model 700 Xhr Bolt Action Rifle With Scope
The 700 series was intended to be cheap to produce, at least with the technology available at the time, but careful design allowed the accuracy characteristics of the previous series to be maintained, even improved upon. The basic design, like all thoughtful designs, is versatile, making the 700 Series arguably the most versatile rifle in the world.
Bolt handle same as Series 700. Two position safety allows for bolt action.
Among the many variations is the XCR rifle, still based on the Remington action and machined from solid stock. The double-lug bolt requires about a 90-degree turn—a typical bolt handle from the 700 series. The bolt extractor head only engages the cartridge groove when the bolt itself is fully locked. With this solution, the face of the bolt provides a smooth ring that covers the bottom of the cartridge.
To handle recoil, there is a large, strong recoil lever that fits between the action and barrel when the two parts are screwed together, with an aluminum base block. It's cheap and it works. The action and barrel are made of stainless steel, coated with the proprietary TriNyte treatment, a mixture of nickel and zirconium nitride that undergoes several salt spray tests and has been proven to be resistant to both corrosion and abrasion.

The wood is die-cast and with rubber overmolds where the wood material would have a square section to allow for a firm grip. It may not look elegant, but it is effective because the soft rubber butt reduces felt recoil.
The Mauser-style magazine cannot be removed, and the two-position safety allows safe use of the bolt to remove the chambered cartridge.
The barrel is not free-floating, but has a pressure point on the property; the successful position of the point is clearly determined by the cone of the node of the sine wave oscillation, as shown by the group.
The rifle does not have metal sights, but has four threaded holes that are closed with small screws. Use a highly magnetized screwdriver to remove them, as they are almost impossible to find once they fall to the ground. Threaded hole for Remington optical mounting plate.

The fire test was performed at a temperature of 31°C and no wind. Considering that the cartridge is a bit flat, I had aimed at 300 meters, but the turbulence of the hot air in front of the scope forced it down to 200. A hundred meters seemed too short for this cartridge. and with a 6x scope you can shoot quite well even at 200 m. I still have about ten rounds of RWS with the 150 grain bullet, also in this gun; I'm out of 140 and 177 gr bullets, but those are fine too, although 150 gr is the best with this gun at least. You can see the group: 0.35 MOA. With the other bullets we were about half a minute off the corner anyway, also at 1 MOA. I always bring the chamois home, even though I shoot at 300 yards, a distance to be avoided and to be expected from a shotgun.
The trigger arc is quite curved. Here you can see the trigger adjustment screw and the button to remove the bolt.
A few notes about the cartridge. With the 7mm Remington Magnum, they wanted to launch an inexpensive cartridge combined with an affordable gun that greatly contributed to the success of the caliber. In fact, European 6.5x68 and 7x66 vom Hofe SE calibers are usually steeply priced custom guns, and ammo produced in small quantities, not mass produced, can't be cheap. As you know, no European manufacturer can compete with US manufacturers, who enjoy a domestic market incomprehensible to Europeans. And even in that market, there's no competition: a Weatherby Mark-5 rifle costs about three times as much as a Remington 700. Good money, but still expensive.
Critical point: US bullets are 7.21mm, while Europe uses 7.26mm bullets. The obvious advice is to use US ammo for US guns and European ammo for European guns, but it's a good idea to check the inside diameter of the barrel.

In my opinion, the 7mm Remington Magnum is the chamois of choice for the season. You can shoot with this American caliber even from a distance of 200-250 meters (it is not very ethical beyond this range). The chamois must stop at the first step, because it is enough to take a few more steps and you are lost - if you do not put it away on the spot, it will die in the forest. Recoil is usually described as strong but not punishing. It doesn't sit well with me and I'm left with the impression that I'm shooting the .308 at open range - only the 177gr bullet had noticeable recoil, but no bother. Hard hitting calibers behave very differently. However, with an accurate, effective and light recoil cartridge, it is better not to get excited: the RM 7mm expands some of the action, but for the big wild boars of the Orient, a completely different caliber is needed.
