Stag10 vs XCR-M

I had the XCR-M for a year and have just finished building a light weight Stag 10. For that budget (around $2800) I would go with the Stag, because parts are plentiful and you can build it however you like. Mine ended up being 7.1 lb dry with lots of titanium parts and a fluted medium-heavy barrel. Balances well, right in the middle of the magazine well. The XCR-M was front heavy and the factory FAST stock was not the most solid. The heavy barrel version was 9.25 lb dry.

A custome built Stag with proper components should get you MOA or better.

I do like the side charging setup and the monolithic rail on the XCR-M though. The bolt catch button next to the trigger guard is also very nice.

I already have a Stag 10 Enhanced and a BCL 102 which, as you know, are both direct impingement rifles. I like the XCR-M because of the gas piston design but as I mentioned, I have a bit of reluctance to drop $3K on a rifle that may be taken away from me if the libs get a majority. I was thinking of ordering one after the election, if things go our way.
 
Of all my rifles, my XCR-M is probably my fav. I dont know what people are doing to have accuracy problems, I partially wonder if its just arbitrary hate for it. Ergos are great and even with a heavy 20" 308 barrel, i dont find it unwieldy. Tuned some nice hand loads for it as well. Definitely dont regret this rifle. my XCR-L is just as accurate, but its the older 1913 quad rail, a little fatter in the hand.
