XM2010
I hope my search skills didn't fail me on this one. I didn't get any results when I searched for this, but does anyone have any experience with this system and if so, how does it compare to other systems?
"As an upgrade to the combat proven M24 Sniper Weapon System, the XM2010 is chambered in 300 Win Mag...."

I shot it during tests at Aberdeen for down select. It is an excellent weapon system. The Army, in its ability to screw shit up, did not take the option (for free) of a user changeable barrel. That would have made the weapon even better. The stock is excellent and one of the most user friendly stocks bar none, and I have shot a few stocks. It is a pleasure to shoot.
It is a 300 Win Mag, so expect the capabilities and limitations of a 300 Win Mag.

I want the stock for my Savage .308  I wonder if I could just get the stock. The weapon itself looks impressive to say the least. And of course the army didn't get the changeable barrel....who needs that anyway. Just burn it up and send it for gauguing by the local PV2 in the 3rd Shop. Seems like a good plan to me......

What's considered a "decent price" in your neck of the woods?

Drake Associates is selling the CADEX chassis - it's about as close to the RACS as you can get. But unfortunately not built for Savage - only Remington.

If you can't find something in one of the local pawnshops Brownell's is selling the Remington actions for $425.00 or so. Get Mark or Ed to put a decent barrel on it for you and "go to town". Mark built mine and it shoots just fine!

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Sean, that was pretty much what I was going to do if I found an old receiver and let Mark do his magic.
Had not thought about Brownells receiver. do they still make the Winchester safety ripoff for the Remy bolt? Have not seen it for a while. I like the Winchester safety better than the Remy safety. I know I know!!
Has he, Mark, gotten his new email set?

I'm unfamiliar with the limitations of a 300 win mag. What are they?

Every weapon has limitations. One quick one is barrel life, especially if you are into 220 gr at high velocity, barrel can go in less than 500 rounds.
Second one, especially again with fast heavy loads is limitation on how much you can shoot in a setting. I know, "I'm recoil resistant", BS, recoil effects all, just when.
Third, Belted magnums have consistency problems due to the belt being used for head spacing. This is one of the reasons so many went to 6.5 in long range matches and moved away from 300 Win Mag, that and 2 above.
There are more, but a good shooter will always "investigate" and find out on his own.
