REMINGTON ARMS CO. ~ 700 XHR ~ 7MM REMINGTON MAGNUM

When it comes to big game rifle barrels there are round, octagon, straight fluted, spiral fluted--and, as of last year, triangular ones. Enter the new Remington Model 700 XHR (Xtreme Hunting Rifle), the first 700 to feature a sporter-weight barrel that in cross-section is triangular in shape (the concept was introduced in 2007 in a varmint/target iteration). Other notable features on the XHR is a new, user-adjustable X-Mark Pro trigger and a barreled action carrying a dull, mottled satin-black oxide finish. It's quite attractive and highly non-reflective. All this is set into Remington's elegantly styled injection-molded synthetic stock covered in Realtree All Purpose HD camo with Hogue overmolded rubberized grip panels. Standard also is Remington's SuperCell recoil pad.
