What Caliber would be to get better

7.62 x 39
or
223 Rem

 

[Stormchaser]

For what Purpose? (Paper or hunting/hunting what), what effective distance, have you considered buying a caliber conversion kit and having both 8)

 

[nick237]

I had both but I only really ever shot the 223 if that matters

 

[Danimal247]

Either or

I have a new unfired 223 for sale in the EE tho

 

[transporteRR]

Paper mainly, im not a hunter, i like my range time in the winter to compensate for not riding.

Most of the cheap 7.62x39 I can find out here is corrosive, so just based on that alone I would be hesitant to buy a $2500 rifle for the purpose of firing it. As suggest earlier though, I say get the conversion kits for it and have all three XCR-L calibers!

Don't be scared of corrosive ammo in your XCR. As a rule I only purchase Non Corrosive because its available to me and the price difference isn't worth my time. Cleaning your XCR is easier than either a SKS or 858 and you don't exactly have to B-line it straight home to clean it.

I really enjoy both calibers in the XCR but there is something much more satisfying about firing 10 rounds of 7.62. Just a great punch for plinking in the bush. If papers your main goal grab the .223. Best thing about the rifle is its modularity. Ad the other kit when your ready.

I had one 7.62x39. Accuracy was reasonable for surplus ammo. The only reliability issues I had all related to the pistol magazines I was using: only 67% of them worked properly. Corrosive ammo is not a problem as long as you clean the gas system at the end of the day; it takes five to seven minutes.

223. Magazines are harder to find for 7.62, no Pmags or USGI mags. Most 7.62 is corrosive also, which isnt a huge deal but I'm not interested in running corrosive ammo through a 2500$+ gun.

Go 223. I have one with a 6.8 kit. 7.62x39 would be ok is non corrosive was cheaper, but it's not......

Lego or 7.62 for the XCR?

I suggest to use the Lego caliber.... very cheap
