Default Remington XR-100

This beauty entered the shop the other day. The original gun was worth $750, plus adding the heavy barrel, Harris Bipod, quick adjust scope, and laminated stock upped it to somewhere around $1200. The guy's selling it for $350. That's like, illegal to not take such a deal. Here's some pics.




I didn't think it would be possible to get such a great picture of the reticule, especially with my cellphone camera. : O

Just to list the specs, a Remingotn XR-100 is basically a Remington 700 with a single shot modification. This one is in .223, and must weight 11 pounds (great for accuracy). With a receiver swap it could be made into a 5 shot easy enough.

Thoughts? Comments?

Looks great, do you plan on shooting it?

Sorry, this isnt about the gun but the camera on your cellphone is pretty good, I thought the pictures were from a digital camera until you said it was from your phone.

Hoping to shoot it soon. I really want to set up a target a few hundred yards away and use it how it's meant to be used, but that's not as easy to set up as doing our simple 40 yard test.

Good looking rifle. .223 is alright, shame it isn't in something like a .308. But that's a hell of a good deal.

Personally I've always wanted a .223 bolt gun. I used to use a Remington 720 in .222, and that gun was amazing. I prefer low recoil rifles, because I can just pick them up and shoot, where as with calibers like .308, I have to get used to the recoil so I don't flinch or pull a shot. Not to say I puss out when shooting bigger calibers, I just have to get used to it first. What can I say, I wasn't trained very well with flinching.

Besides, I could see this being the end of the woodchucks I have around here. The little bastards always see you before you can get a shot off, so setting up prone a couple hundred yards away with this bad boy and sniping them should make things interesting.
