So I've been playing with my bare XCR-M long enough. Time to get dome gear for it.
I've decided on a two point sling as this rifle won't be for cqb type range shooting. I like my single point but I'm thinking of going with the Vickers sling, since it's on sale and it's functional. Any idea how it will mount? Earl Green had a nice setup on his AR platform and it was convincing.
Recommend a quick detach sling mount for the monolithic rail, and how does it fasten to the butt? there is just a single hole in the butt stock, so not sure what fasteners are available.
I am also a little lost with optics. I like the Nikon product (I also have a nikon DSLR and like the quality of their lenses). I don't want to sell the rifle short by just dropping a red dot on it. I was looking at Elcan 4x variable sights but I'm not too sure. Ideally I see shooting this rifle between <100 meters and out to maybe 3-400 meters. It's not a bolt action, I have no dreams of firing off 5-600 m shots in the bush. I just want a fun .308 that can give some variety.
I think I'll leave the flash hider unless someone can find me something spectacular. I'm also looking for a pistol grip. I tend to lean towards the simple HOGUE overmold with finger grooves. I find it comfortable for my long fingers.
Insight is appreciated. I'll update this post as the project progresses.
