My brand new Remington XCR II in 375 H&H had a few issues, hard bolt closing due to an oversize extractor, and I've heard the newer 700s have been losing bolt handles occassionaly. So I'm having my gunsmith Kevin Weaver who is wonderful with Rem 700s, replace the extractor with a Sako extractor, weld the bolt handle on and while he's at it, rechamber it to 375 Weatherby. I've always wanted a 375 Weatherby and the XCR II it weighs all of 6 1/2 lbs without scope (7/8 lb less than Remington specs it at on their web page). It should be a perfect Alaska brown bear rifle when it's done. It should be hell on elk too ..
