| I've handled one, but not see one. To me it felt like an upgraded SPS. The finish looks alright, but honestly isn't stainless steel tough enough? The stock felt exactly like the SPS stock, but had hogue overmoulded rubber areas on the stock.
If it were me I would get the SPS, put a HS Precision stock on it, and be done with it.
Certianly not a bad rifle though. I wouldn't mind owning one at all, just the price difference between it and the SPS isn't justified the way I see it. |

| My remington big game rifles in 416 rem mag came with the HS stocks from the factory they are awesome.It has held up very well.One guy on here has xcr stock on his 375 ultra mag it cracked in three shots.I think remington is trying to see how cheap they can make their rifles again.The sps looks worse than the old adl with the plastic stock. |

I agree that the better way to go would be to buy the stainless SPS & put a decent stock on it - the difference in price here between the SPS and the XCR would almost cover it. Should be a good rifle with a decent stock on it. |

| I'm not convinced these crappy stocks are all that horrible. I agree they make the remington feel like a savage. I have an SPS in 30-06 that will absolutly drive tacks. It shoots every powder, every bullet, every time; and the crappy plastic stock is in contact with the barrel throughout the entire channel, the trigger is not the greatest, and it has a simmons on it for god's sake! I'm starting to hate it because the high dollar sendero so far hasn't been able to touch it in the accuracy department. |
