Honestly, probably the XCR unless you can examine the Maccabee receivers first.

 

[Stevo]

MDI.

Newer ones are much more consistent and you have zero spare parts issues and way more "custom" options available.

 

[jiffx2781]

Which ever one you find available first.

 

[jacotsmith]

MDI for parts compatibility and ergonomics.

 

[yz295]

XCR gets my vote! Try to hand both first and you'll know.

 

[no-one special]

Neither! There are better options out there.

This one.

Having owned a Maccabee, I'd probably buy the XCR. Everything is god damn tight on the SLR from taking it down (I don't mind the bolt - I mind that I have to hammer the two halves apart with a mallet) to fitting the parts.

XCR is great rifle.
Maccabee will be more accurate if you get a good barrel.
Hard choices, I had both.if I buy it again probably XCR would be my choice. I just prefer XCR over AR platform.

[Smcx]

Xcr.

My 2 cents, a Modern Sporter.

Barring that, a new generation XCR-L.
If shopping second hand, keep in mind there are big differences between generations of the XCR-L.
If it's got a quad rail, heavy barrel, and skeleton stock: leave it be, its not worth the risk.

I had one of the first XCR-L's, and from my experience I tend to believe everyone elses horror stories were true too.

A new generation, for comparison. (courtesy of www.wolverinesupplies.com)

Although your opinion could be considered "slightly" biased.... I strongly support your suggestion

XCR, key mod comp version.

 

[apex survival]

The XCR is a very reliable platform. Sold mine to build a MS, but the new Competition models are a lot lighter than my old quad rail version with heavy barrel.

I enjoy my MDI SLR...

Hello. Looking for a nice range 223 rifle and want either the MDI Maccabee or the XCR. Which would you choose and why?

If you are looking for a range rifle, why limit yourself to just non-restricted?

 

[snipertactics11]

Wow, thank you all for your answers! Im not trying to be a professional sniper lol, so doesnt need to be as precise as a precision rifle, so XCR it is.. and I Can find them alot more than an MDI platform.

I kept the mdi, sold the xcr and others.
No issue with the upper/ lower separation here.
And you can build one cheap if you don’t care about accuracy, you can’t make an xcr more than it is.
