Madison, NC – For
2007, Remington is pleased to announce the seventh offering in
the limited edition Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) rifle
series, the Model 700 XCR™ (Xtreme Conditions Rifle) RMEF
Camo chambered in the flat-shooting, hard-hitting .300
Remington Ultra Mag. This annual offering features the Elk
Foundation logo engraved on the hinged floorplate and the stock
wears the official RMEF camo pattern – Realtree® All-Purpose™
HD. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this rifle will
be donated to RMEF in support of their conservation efforts.
The physical demands of elk hunting can push a hunter to his
limits as well as taking a toll on his rifle. The Model 700 XCR
bolt-action rifle is built to handle the most-daunting terrain
and weather conditions with our exclusive, patent-pending
TriNyte® Corrosion Control System. This multi-layer process
consists of electroless nickel and proprietary PVD (Physical
Vapor Deposition) coatings on the solid stainless steel barreled
action. Benefits of this micro-thin coating include
superior scratch resistance and virtual elimination of
corrosion. Fitting this weather-impervious barreled action into
a top-of-the-line synthetic stock adds to the toughness of this
Model 700. The durable stock has easy-gripping, gray overmolded
panels in the grip and fore-end areas, utilizing a rubber
overmolding technology from Hogue, and is camouflaged with the
latest multi-purpose pattern from Realtree and the official camo
of the Elk Foundation – Realtree All-Purpose HD. Other features
include clean 26-inch barrel;
drilled and tapped for scope mounts; hinged floorplate; sling
swivel studs and recoil-taming, R3® Recoil Pad. And new for
2007, the Model 700 XCR rifles feature the Remington X-MARK PRO™
trigger. With our tight production tolerances, this trigger
breaks like glass, has zero creep and up to 40% lower
out-of-the-box trigger pull weight.
Previous offerings in the RMEF series include the Model 700 BDL™
SS Camo in .300 Rem Ultra Mag, 7mm Rem Ultra Mag, .300 Rem Short
Action Ultra Mag and .300 Win Mag, and the Model 700 XCR Camo in
7mm Rem Ultra Mag and .300 WSM.
The seventh annual
Model 700 XCR RMEF Camo rifle in .300 Remington Ultra Mag,
partnered with the new Remington Power Level ammunition, makes
this one of the most versatile rifles you can own. Available for
one year only at a suggested retail price of $1199.
