Re: Remington 700 XCR Tactical
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jj302</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I bought a used (around 50 rounds through it) a 26" Long Range Tactical in 300wm. I've only fired about 12 rounds thought it so far but FWIW My last trip out was to check out a local 500yard range and shoot 500yrds for my first time. Yes, 200+ yards is new to me. Northern WI and Michigans UP dont have lots of really long range shooting. I currently have a cheap $50 simmons and was I shooting cheap 165gr fusion. I took 3 shots at 300 yards, got a call that my fiancee was locked out of the house and the rain started coming down. I decided to take 3 more shots at 500 and get home. My 500 yard group was approximately 3in. Considering the massive room for improvement in my optic, loads and technique I was pretty happy with the results.

Correction: 575 yards. I was given bad info and confirmed 575 with a fellow shooter using his bushnell arc 1600 last weekend. I'd really like one of those!
Here is my cold bore shot with 12" holdover. My simmons runs out of turret clicks at 500 yards.
Fusion 150gr. Resting on backpack, no bags or bipod.
The shot is right by the dimension... just put that in there for scale. No I'm not 14, I'm 34 and have small hands haha.
Here is my group aprox 12 inches straight down from center.
So far I really like my XCR, but it is also my first rifle of this type. I moved into it from my fathers mauser/interarms mark X 300wm.
