It is better to use single quotes: this way you do not need to double escapes.

I would also omit using literal control characters: you can replace ^M with <CR> and ^R with <C-r>. Using literal control characters may force some tools (diff, grep, VCS) to treat your file as binary and does not let you see what exactly is there in the file without using editor or tools like hexdump.
