+1 to that, not that there's anything wrong with them. Just not my idea of a "black rifle"...Only 5.56
Have you looked into a CZ 858? More of a "Red Rifle" but still really cool.

If you are putting an eotrash on top of anything accuracy is not at the top of the list.
Anyone who pushes 7.62x39 as an accurate rifle cartridge needs to get out more.

if your rich get XCR, if not swiss arms and you want need to buy anything else any time soon. i know it's seems expensive and it's easy to say for me, i got my cheap, but you should not think like you getting a Mercedes and you need to take this Mercedes for costly servicing every year. it will not require it.
Swissarms + aimpoint. I've seen too many EOtechs go down. I do like their reticles, though.
I also got my black special brand new for $3050 with 1:7 barrel. You can find deals if you look.
Edit to add: you could roll the dice on one of the new ACRs for 3k, too.

Gunnerlove, my XCR shoots just over one MOA with Czech surplus 762X39. At about 180$ per 1120 I really can't complain. The only problem is gun seems to go through a lot of it.
I would choose from one of these rifles
Okay, I don't know my black rifles. I see 27 of something that looks very nice but are they the best in the world or paintball guns?
(Only long gun I have right now is a .303 with a synthetic stock -- and I've never even fired it!)

So you must be putting up really good scores with it.
How do those copper washed bullets group and buck the wind at 500m?

Excellent scores, several coyotes, a deer and untold gophers. As for bucking wind it does allright, its more drop that makes it hard getting coyotes way out there. Going to try a 6.8 barrel and see how that does. I hardly shoot my 223 barrel any more.

Are we talking 3 shot groups or 10 shot groups?

Due to legal problems beyond my control, 
, at the end of a mag it is a 5 round group. I usually only shoot 3 round groups with hunting rifles. I find it odd that I had trouble getting nice groups with 1-4 power scope, but with my 3.5-10 no problem. Eyes must be getting too old!

I'd like to see a 10 round group... I suspect it'll open up to around 2MOA.

So it is no to the match scores.
Making it is just hunting and fishing stories.

I have to ask, who cares about match scores? I would hazard that most guys that own an XCR don't care about matches, rather they use them to shoot varmints, big game, paper or just to plink. Are you just on some sort of anti-XCR tirade? Or is it the x39 that gets up your nose? Is using a rifle to shoot animals or to plink somewhat less noble than dressing up in a costume and pretending to be commando on the flat range?
