Modern varmint vs bushmaster acr ?
- Thread starter Battleworn
- Start date
I wanted to purchase the X95 and was border line considering the acr dmr but the store sales team and reviews convinced me to get the acr dmr. After the range and shooting a few hundred rounds, it was awesome. It shoots very well and definitely the best rifle I have. Only small issue is that it’s heavy like other people have mentioned which made me have to shoot on the bench roughly after 200 shots.
I agree with weightThree reasons why I think the MV is better than the ACR.
1. Lighter (6 lbs 15 ounces)
2. More accurate. ( multiple.6.7 groups ,using diff bullets).
3. Looks better
Acr wins on calibers, quick change ability, and price
Yes the quick change is a big plus.
You can have that feature with the MV, not as many options and more expensive though.
But a quick change isn’t the most important to me as I’d rather have a complete rifle ,
I will be looking to add a 6.5 Grendel

I lost interest in the quick change barrel feature on my xcr-l VERY quickly. Each caliber had a different use and required different optics suitable for the purpose. Subsequently, each time you switched there was a need to reconfirm or readjust zero prior to actually using it.
I now have a complete rifle in each caliber I use. I would much rather have a second or third rifle, or at minimum, different dedicated uppers completely set up with the appropriate optics, ready to go.
Quick change is nothing more than a novelty.

I have no issue with shift side to side between my 450 and 30rar calibers. I set the zero for one caliber and know the elevation setting for the other.
The Xcr has a horrible retention method on the barrel, point of impact is guaranteed to shift every time you take the barrel off

With the level of pain in the arsery it is to legally use both a non restricted setup and a restricted barrel I'd rather run a couple non restricted barrels in different calibers.
In order to use your 10.5 you would need to register it as restricted then convert it back before you could take it away from the range.
When I bought my first ACR it came with a sweet custom 12 inch barrel and it was so farkin awesome but after talking to the firearms lab guys about what I needed to do to legally switch back and forth with my NR barrel I sold the 12 inch.
To go with restricted and non restricted barrels I would buy two ACR's.
I agree that a second complete upper equipped with it's own optic would be a better way to go but then you're looking at at least double the cost.
I don't have a problem confirming zero with my rifles when switching and as Brian states once you know the rifle you just need to dial the scope to the correction noted prior. Being out a click or two isn't the end of the world unless you're planning on a life or death first shot kill at 600 yards. But yes, a second upper is definitely the way to go if the funds are available to do it.
I'll be doing that when ATRS releases the MV's receiver sets. Maybe even three uppers
