AR Vs XCR

That's pretty much my order as well but swap the Swiss for the NR ACR and move the T97 to second last, it's actually a toss-up between the mini-14 and the T-97 for last.
My Swiss Arms didn't impress me in the accuracy department but it sure was a beautifully built rifle and built like a tank as well, everything was nicely finished and very robust.
I'd probably take an SKS before either the mini or T97 just because they are dirt cheap to buy and shoot and last forever if you clean them properly.
The T-97 I shot was fine but I don't like them because in my mind it is a $900 disposable rifle with no warranty or parts support and then it becomes a $1300 disposable rifle if you add the FTU.
My mini-14 was reliable if you used Ruger magazines and that's about all I have that's nice to say about it.

I echo CR5`s sentiments, but I place the AR abit lower (4th) because of the ergonomics and I am primarily a piston gun guy.

My order: nr acr>Swiss>tavor>Ar>xcr l>xcr m>t97>Cz858>Benelli mr1>mini 14>sks

Swiss are great but again, the accuracy left me feeling somewhat let down.

Now my personal ACR`s are the Questar SS barreled versions and they are front heavy.

This does not bother me much as I have a few Swiss rifles under my belt. I go after SS barrels because accuracy and consistency are the most important to me. The SS barreled ACR`s have this in spades so I will take the weight penalty.
