Remington Model XCR Compact Tactical

[Hopalong_Cassadiche]

So I purchased the above rifle. The rate of twist is 1 in 12". Can I optimally shoot FGM 168 grain? Or do I have to shoot 150 grain ammo? Thanks.

You can go up to 175.

168gr loves 1:12 barrels.

155 Scenars will shoot well too.

Mine used to love the 175 SMK. I tried the 190 SMK also, but not too successful. Definitely doable with 175 SMK.

Does the fact that my XCR has a 20" barrel make a difference?

Re: Remington Model XCR Compact Tactical

So a 1:10 will shoot up to 220gr, whats the lowest gr bullet that would properly stabilize in a 10twist, would the 155 scenars/sierra palma still shoot well?

I have yet to get myself a reloading setup in order to try it, just looking for a general idea of where to start when I do get setup properly. 175-185's seem to be the place to start with a 1:10.

Thanks. Do they only sell rings? What about bases? Which size?

 

[Jester308]

Re: Remington Model XCR Compact Tactical

Rings, Bases, DBM's, and now AR lower's. My mate and I are running similar set ups, both in SP 30mm Lows on a SP 20MOA base, great gear.

If in doubt, give Glen a call, but that set up will do the job.

Re: Remington Model XCR Compact Tactical

I have a question about the 40X externally adj. trigger. Would it matter if you adjusted the trigger during dry fire testing at home on a bench or should I wait until I hit the range and feel the round go off?

Re: Remington Model XCR Compact Tactical

Hey Stealth! The trigger feels really nice now. IMO, I would try it out at the range and see how you like it.

And, Seekins online ordering is down, just FYI. I was looking to get a base from there.

Re: Remington Model XCR Compact Tactical

I will do that. Thanks for the heads up. I am on the lookout for bases, rings and glass.
