Xcr-m - finally here!!!

Range report now posted on post 2 of this thread, http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6772058&postcount=2




Sweet! You have a 466Q central vacuum system?!

Lucky....

Oh, nice rifle too :)

Lol, nice catch. The 70's vintage one crapped the bed not too long ago, plopped this one in. Better warranty and not much cost difference than a new motor.

Very nice and would be nice to hunt with...only thing that makes me hesitate is thinking that possibly the gestapo will reclassify it to restricted in the future. There was a time (not that long ago)when in Canada you could take a HK-91 out hunting.
cheers

Will definitely be taking this out hunting, and will be keeping my reg cert to prevent hassles from CO's, police, etc. Hopefully, with the current political environment, we don't have to worry about that for a while.

Would the stocks be interchangeable?....nvm I can see the M's reciever is slanted at the end and the L isn't

As others have mentioned, stocks are interchangeable, additional stocks are coming soon, just backordered. :rolleyes:

How is the center of balance on this rifle?

Very good!


How tight is the stock when unfolded? As stable as a fixed stock?

Extremely tight, very little slop. Was expecting much, much more, but it is quite minimal.

What's the barrel profile on these rifles that are in Canada?

As AR-GUY mentioned, these are a heavy barrel profile, I do believe.
 
You need to use a small base resizing die when loading for semi-auto's...

and yes I want a -M oh wait my name is on a list for one in OD green.

For those of you wanting a FAST stock contact Wolverine Supply and get on their list for one...
 
I might have to pick one of these up even though I don't need another 308

I'm thinking the same thing. Wasn't into the L but the changes they have made look pretty good. I'm interested in this one. One thing Ive noticed the 308 versions always seem nicer than the 223/5.56 version :p

Wolverine posted some results with 168 federal gold.

One of the hurdles may be finding the right ammo. 1:10 twist with 18.6" barrel. Would think 175 bit will the velocity be enough?

With the RFB going lighter seemed to be the key. 150 might be the sweet spot for XCR M?
 
my rfb puts factory CIL (dominion) 180 grain pills into 2" at 100m I have yet to try that weight with reloads but it is by far the best faxriry ammo I have shot (10 shot group

We were able to get 1.5" with 168 ammo. But others have done that well or better with the 145 MFS surplus.

The barrel length being 18.5" is another factor to consider, along with the twist rate for what may or may not work. As we all know there are exceptions to the rule. One other thing with the RFB setting the gas properly seems to make a huge difference with accuracy.

The XCR-M with the 18.6" 1:10 twist barrel should be interesting for accuracy. I'm wondering how it shoots 175 sMK? Looking forward to the reports on this rifle. Its the first XCR I've been interested in. Everything is better in 308!!
