How about a single shot Remington

Post by Pa.Bill »

I can buy a Remington 22-250, single shot, heavy barrel, very fancy shock.
Its new for $990. This model has been discontinued.

What do you think ???

What model is it? Does it happen to be a gray/black thumbhole stock with a flat/mat blue/black finish? If so, that is a XR-100. On my VLTHSS stocks, the same stock but set up as a repeater they all needed glass bedding & free floating to bring out there true potentional.

A Cooper is a tad more but they shoot litterally one-hole groups right out of the box.

Either way, enjoy,

Jim

The gun you are looking at should be an XR-100 as described above. They were supposed to be run through the custom shop, use the better 40x trigger that goes down to 1.5#, and usually sell for around $750 from what I have seen. I have a 223 version that I haven't bedded yet, and it shoots 1/2" groups so far with no load development, I just copied the sub .3" load my other 223 likes.


Articles I have read say they either shot well, or shot poorly. Made for 2 years and cost too much to keep making them.

At that price, I would pass.
