Remington Model 700 XCR Compact Tactical Specs

This rifle shoots every bit as good as it looks, and for a Model 700 fan like me, it’s a combination that’s hard to resist.

This rifle performs. If you dope the wind right and work up some handloads, I'm confident the XCR Compact Tactical will shoot one-ragged-hole groups as easily as any custom rifle I've handled.

Will this better-looking performer replace my 7 mm Rem. Mag.? The two of us have been through too much together to entertain that thought, but it could be these distant cousins will soon be sharing living quarters in my gun safe. The Remington Model 700 XCR Compact Tactical shoots every bit as good as it looks, and for a Model 700 fan like me, it's a combination that's hard to resist.

Most everything I've read says with the 1 in 9 twist, one should use bullets lighter than aprox 70 grains. Your article says much different. What's the deal with conflicting info?
