Remy XCR - vs- T3 LamSS in 7mmRemMag

[jab22]

For my budget LRH I am trying to decide between these two. Both are on back order according to my suplier. The Remy has a heavyer longer bbl. (26") The T3 SS Syn is just a little over 6 lbs, seams too light for me. Remy also has an SPS SS Syn, CDL (blued) and RMEF version of the XCR.

Any comments one way or the other? Also if one were to get a custom bbl installed on a blued reciever, can you use a SS bbl? Would it make sense to Parkerize the entire metal assembly?

Thanks for the input.
