Just saw them on Gunbroker. I like the way they look.

Tell us how it shoots.

From the Rem website:

When our triangular barrel contour made its debut in varmint/target weight on the Model 700™ VTR, it was deemed one of the most innovative barrel designs conceived. We’re proud to unveil its big-game evolution, the Model 700 XHR (Xtreme Hunting Rifle), firmly seated atop the food chain with the renowned accuracy and supreme strength of our Model 700 action as its foundation. Pick it up, and the first thing you’ll notice is the impeccable balance. With a magnum contour barrel crafted in our patent-pending triangular formation, the rifle seems to point itself. This barrel design allows us to shave weight while maintaining the rigidity of a traditional round barrel. And the weight that remains is in all the right places. Plus, its surface area facilitates rapid cooling for more accurate followup shots. Not that you’ll need them. Like all new Model 700s, the XHR features our new externally adjustable X-Mark Pro® trigger system that comes set from the factory with 3 1/2 lbs. pull, and can be easily fine-tuned to your preference – by you.

I don't own one, but I load for one and have shot it enough to work up a couple of hunting loads for my buddies son. It shoots very well. I was reasonably surprised at the cosistancy considering the flexibility of the forend of the stock. I have some 15 year old Barnes 75 grain X flatbase bullets that I have never been able to get to shoot from more than 8 diffrent 25 cals and this rifle shoots them @ .75"! It will also shoot 90gr Sierra HPBT and 100 Nosler B-tips into about an inch. It's only one example, but it seems to be a fantastic value.

The rifle has good balance and seems very durable, the stock is a not the best, but its ok. I shoot 120gr. Nosler Partitions over 52gr H4831 and get .750" to 1.00" 3 shot groups which suits me well for hunting in my area. Shots usually don't range over 200yds. Also killed my first deer today with it with the same load mentioned. Seven point that weighed about 175lbs. Off hand shot out of my treestand at 95yds. Complete pass through right behind the shoulders. The deer never took a step. I like the Partitions they did more damage than I expected. This was my first deer taken with them used to shoot Gamekings or Ballistic Tips with alot of success.
