Remington 700 XCR II 30-06

[eagle rider]

Just got my new Remmy 700 XCR II in 30-06.  Added Nikon glass (new Prostaff 3-9x40) with Leupold bases and rings.  This is an awesome deer rifle set up.  Light weight, subdue colors, designed to take a beating!!!!!  Should be a home run. 

I loaded up some 150 and 165 gr. ammo for it.  It much prefers the Sierra Game King 165 gr with 57.5 grrains of RS Big Game, a WLR primer and Federal brass.  Check it out:

I bought the same gun in .300 WSM last year. Love it!

I, too, put a Nikon scope on it, Buckmaster 4.5-14x40.  Its a little more bullet than you need for deer, but I plan to take it Elk hunting sometime in the next couple of years.

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have been enjoying mine.

Sounds like a nice setup and Nikon glass is great.  Recently put a 3x9 Buckmaster on my Remington 750 carbine...can't wait to get it zeroed in.  Trying to find somone who belongs to a range in the Albany area because most seem to need a sponsor to join. 

You have a very nice rifle there.  Hope you get to shoot it alot.

Looks like a nice gun, 700s are great shooters! Enjoy it!

Developed a great load for it, 61.5 grs of RL19, Nosler 150 Ballistic Tip, WLR primer and Fed Brass.  COAL is 3.341.  It's only doing 2770 but its a tacdriver!  Clover leaf groups all three rounds touching each other at 100 yards.
