It would appear that Remington refuses to let the XM2010 Sniper Rifle platform die. The XM2010 was renamed M2010 and now it’s once again revamped with a .308 Winchester specific designation the “700 ESR-1”. The picture on the Remington Defense website appears to be the same old recycled picture from the XM2010/M2010 .300 Winchester Magnum pages. The Remington ESR-1 is currently available to law enforcement only.
Eurooptic sells the complete rifle package to the public under the original XM2010 name in .300 Winchester Magnum.
Note: Remington worked with Cadex on this early on. Cadex has been evolving their chassis ever since. If the XM2010 is out of your price range check out Cadex for a more up to date design.
The Remington 700 Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR-1) represents the latest evolution of the world’s most trusted precision rifle platform – the Remington Model 700.
The 700 ESR-1 features the new Remington Arms Chassis System (RACS) with a folding stock that allows for adjustment of the length of pull and cheek height and captures the bolt handle when folded. This allows the operator to configure his weapon to his personal physical requirements and transport the system more easily. The 700 ESR-1 can be tailored to meet any requirement as a base rifle, or as part of a combat-ready sniper weapon system including a variety of top-tier optics, Advanced Armament suppressor, bipod, deployment kit, and hard-side case with nested drag bag. Available in a short action configuration chambered in .308 Win (7.62x51mm NATO), the Remington 700 ESR-1 offers a solution for the professional shooter.
AICS is the acronym used to describe the Accuracy International Chassis System for the Remington 700 Model Rifle. It was designed by and for competitive shooters for for long range competition and military applications. One of the biggest drawbacks of the AICS has been the cost of the magazines at well over $100. Well that is about to change. Magpul has once again done what they do best and introduced a magazine, the PMAG® 10 7.62 AC – AICS Short Action. If the PMAG® 10 7.62 AC – AICS Short Action proves reliable in the field it will no doubt at $35 be a game changer for Remington 700 and AICS shooters.

I was researching a new Remington 700 trigger, something different and I happened upon Huber Concepts Remington 700 Trigger on Amazon of all places. The description below as well as Huber Concepts read like an infomercial. Not that that will stop me from trying one of these triggers myself to see how it stacks up to all my other rifle triggers. I’m going to email the manufacturer for further information. Stay tuned
