Remington 700 XCR Compact
Never one to allow grass to grow under its feet, Remington has introduced a new rifle that epitomizes the "short and maneuverable" concept in tactical bolt actions.
Fitted with a 20-inch stainless barrel sporting three wide flat-bottomed flutes--finished with Remington's Black TriNyte PVD coating--the 700 XCR Compact weighs in at 71/2 pounds.
The stock is OD green with black webbing, and the barrel is free-floating. Remington's notoriously good 40-X trigger is externally adjustable.
A rifling twist of 1:12 suggests bullets in the 110- to 168-grain range for the .308 version, and a 1:9 twist should support all but the heaviest match bullets in the .223 version.
Either should provide excellent accuracy to the 500-yard line.
