Best NR rifle

I had a mini and sold it as it had fte , but my dad still has the one he bought at the same time as mine and I have forbidden him to sell it :p is is flawless
 
I think CSA worked out the kinks out of 223 variant. At least I am not reading any new reports about gas block problems. Mag well adaptor and railed top cover will add about 200 to the price. But after that it it will accept AR mags and red dot. VZ is outstanding design, robust and reliable, easy to clean and lightweight. Chrome lining will give you 20000 rounds plus barrel life.

They show up on EE for around 1200.
 
Swiss Arms is built like a Rolex. Who cares if it takes AR mags or not? It doesn't take Glock mags either. I see that Canada Ammo sells Dominion mags for a half-decent price. Stock up. Mini 14 is good for what it is. Nice that you can get one in stainless steel. VZ58 is an excellent design. Actually had one of those and it shot extremely well. I also had a Benelli that was crazy accurate, but as someone else mentioned, some Martian designed the ergos. A new XCR may be the way to go. I had one in .308 and it shot quite well - not well enough to justify the ridiculous price tag; but the ergos were the best of any gun I have tried. A new XCR in 5.56 - especially that competition model may have the bases covered.
 
I'm so far down the XCR rabbit hole there is no going back. On the other hand I wouldn't reject any future NR options in the pipeline, but I do think the XCR is the best current NR black rifle for me.
 
I'll take neither for $500 Alex...

Sigh... everyone is telling me that. May be I should get a SKS or cz-58 instead. The main thing is that I have 223 and some 556 stocked up I don't wanna go into a diff caliber just because of a new gun. Same reason I have no plan to get a 45 or 40sw pistol. Mini14 or T97 fits the ammo requirement. I am not sure about getting a X95... which I can buy 3X the min14 or T97.

Out of the two I'd be inclined to get the CZ-58 in 5.56mm. I'd still go for a Tavor over the X95 or CZ, though.

I got an X95 recently and really like it but there is something about the XCR competition version that makes me want one

I also have a weakness for an SL8. They`re a quirky looking gun for sure but supposed to be very accurate by all accounts

Is it wrong to want 3 top of the line non restricted rifles?
 
Why the Tavor over X95. Just asking

ive got both but prefer the central mag release and the over all robust feeling of the original--wont even get on the accuracy issue as i dont think they differ much there--plus the bolt handle in the center feels to confined--(im a bigger guy with long arms) but small wife prefers original also--few of my friends went back to originals but to be fair also few think x95 is the next best thing to bread--lol

i hate to argue but the XCR is a very ordinary rifle, i have a XCR-M in my gun room for the last 5 year and it aint whorth much... JP.
