    Interesting to see how naive we were.

    Got mine with the folding stock, which is pretty awesome, but did not come with a bolt to connect it to the reciever, and the one on the fixed stock, while it is the correct pitch and size, is almost 1" too long for use with the folding stock. Not a big issue, as it is a common bolt, but irritating as it will not work out of the box, I have to spend a bunch of time and gas to go out and grab one.

    Bipod is pretty disappointing, through no fault of the retailer... the swiss arms I owned a while back was pretty wobbly, but this new one with a bit of forward pressure will also fold forwards, as well as backwards... not too great for precision shooting.

    All in all though, pretty awesome firearm, I am impressed!

    Well, the XCR wins out for accuracy and speed of target reacquisition. It is very heavy though, and the muzzle brake is pretty barky.

    The Famae wins out for best all around rifle, comparable accuracy with the XCR seemingly from this stage of testing, but much lighter to tote around, and way less front heavy, so offhand shooting is very easy in comparison.

    The RFB is a bit of an oddball. Decent accuracy, never really any better than 3-4 MOA with mine, but then again I have not scoped it with anything more powerful than a 4x. Easiest to control for offhand, but not very good reacquisition of the sights after the shot, because the gun is so short.


    These are all compared from 150 yards and up though... no CQB done yet with any of them.

    Reliability is very good for all three as should be expected from $2,000 + guns.
    You know you are a real gunnut when you start practicing trigger control on power tools.

    Kevin, I'm assuming that's an ERE gun? Real beauty, is it bad if I've had dreams about my 540?

    And ditto on the Type 81, that would be the next big thing on our market.
