Local person has a NIB Remington XCR 338 Lapua mag that caught my eye. He is willing to trade so we talked today and discussed some particulars of what I had to put on the table. This is an expensive rifle and even more expensive to shoot. I have a Remington 308 5r that is my reach-out-and-touch-stuff rifle. I could see this 338 being one of two things: either a great next step beyond my 308 at some point down the road...or a high dollar novelty that is too punishing on both the shoulder and the wallet to ever shoot enough to justify owning.
What are your thoughts on the XCR as well as this cartridge? I am interested in all points of view because I am probably the least informed of anyone who will comment in this thread.
Thanks,
Michael
