[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 445579, member: 23486"] I have zero experience with the XCRII.... I suggest making sure the action is properly bedded & make sure the barrel is floated, the RUM family generate a LOT of heat (as any cartridge that burns in the the neighborhood of 100grns of powder). With heat comes expansion & the possibility of stringing your shots if there is a pressure point in the barrel channel. I'm interested in your response to the provided information as the first thing that came to my mind when you said "20x Leupold" was the usual 6.5-20, but we all know what happens when you assume things! I think you are on your way to a great setup with the XCRII, the RUM with a break, also what type of rings & base are you using on your setup? If you take any advise from these responses HAVE THE TRIGGER ADJUSTED, that is IMO the very first thing to do when starting out with a new rifle (with the exception of the accu-triggers i have).
