Another RUM

[boomer68]

Okay, can't seem to get enough of the RUM. Here is my latest addition....

XCR II

Looks good. What cartridge?

 

[boomer68]

Woops, it is the 300 RUM.

Grey or Green you can't beat em. I love my xcr too.

The 300 RUM does deliver a good "whomp" at either end. A lot of power in the cartridge.

Nice, congratulations

Nice looking rifle for a wrong sided bolt gun.

 

[Guy Miner]

Should be a good shooter, those Rem Ultra Mags have that tendency...

 

[FOTIS]

Nice! Hope she shoots great for you

 

[boomer68]

Now I have to get glass for it...lol
Should I change out the stock, or leave it as is? I have a Boyds laminate that I could use, but the factory one looks kinda nice. Just not sure how rigid it is.

 

[Guy Miner]

I wouldn't change it until you shoot it a bit. May not need to change out the stock.

At 95 grains of powder per shot, you're going to need your money for ammo anyway! :mrgreen:

 

[sask boy]

Yes a 300 RUM now that is a cartridge that can reach out and touch something :mrgreen:.
They are a lot of fun!!

Blessings,
Dan

The stock is plenty strong enough. I've put one on a custom 416 Rem and it has no problems. The Boyd's stocks are very nice but you'll add about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of carry weight which may help perceived recoil. I went with the muzzle break and the lighter weight because I do a lot of hiking when I hunt.It's a personal choice.

 

[boomer68]

Thanks for the response Greg. Never used one of these stocks before, so was unsure of the stability.

A RUM is one that I wouldn't mind a bit of extra weight...
