SHOT SHOW 2011 - Robinson Arms XCR-M

Fact is he was outboarding at shot . There are quite a few people on this board still infatuated with the Xcr and will jump on anyone who isn't . If all I owned was an Xcr and a Honda civic I'd be quick to jump too .
 
If the AR were non-restricted, and the XCR were restricted, I don't think there'd be as many people jumping in to defend Mr. Robinson.
 
Can someone who cares please start a thread about the moral ramifications about outboarding at a corporate show and leave this thread to the discussion of the relative merits of the rifle in the title.
 
I don't care if AR was suit casing, surfboarding, outboarding or water boarding....
All I care is if his rifles work and their available in Canada....
 
Maybe I missed something, but after doing a search on other forums it seems like this forum is the only one to bring up this topic. So why are we so critical about the suit-casing by Robinson and Why is not an issue on other forums?
 
Because SHOT said pretty please don't outboard or suitcase our show. Suit casing (literally handing out fliers in the show) i can understand since you are on show property trying to get people to leave to your location. Their place their rules. However the out boarding (which is what Robarms has done) is just good business and the upheaval is due to typical Canadian expectation of kid gloves business practices.
 
I could give a rats ass where he showed off the M, I'll buy one when I've got the cash, I like my L, short of some 6.8 accuracy issues( Which will be addressed this week , hopefully), that Alex and I discussed,intellently I might add. The 5.56 barrel set up, thanks Niko, shoots great, 1 moa / 100 yd. Haven't had a chance to go further, but I'm assuming the same results further out. So don't buy one, carry on about how evil he is, I don't care, There are #######s everywhere and I'm sure that Alex Robinson (In some of your minds anyway) isn't the only one in the gun world. He's treated me fine and I'm fine with that.
 
I finally got my bloody Youtube account unfukked. Not even sure what I did to make it work, but its GTG now.
So here is an impromptu interview that happened at the unveiling.
(Same one as I edited into the first post)
Enjoy!

What's their big problem with outboarding? That's normal at trade shows, especially for "boutique" brands that don't want to spend the money for floor space for a variety of reasons. I don't see McDonalds crying because Burger King opened up across the street.

Suitcasing is completely different as it's their space, their rules.

This definitely opens up some interesting cartridge possiblities. Also makes me wonder what the XCR-H will be... 338 Lapua? lol...
 
The Bible says that want of earthly things is a sin...but I just can't help the amount of want I feel for this product. :p
