The Robinson Armament XCR-M, SCAR Killer?

Looks like Wolverine is planning to get a shipment of the latest xcr's. I shot my friend's xcr before, it was one of the early models. Heavy and alright accuracy, he was using his for 3-gun. But after taking my DD v7 pro for 2 stages, he got one as well. He is keeping the xcr as his father owns a farm so he can still plink away.

We are not in the business of censoring respectful conversation here.
There is no one firearm that is perfect for everyone. We felt it was worth posting this recent review which highlights the latest version of this platform and what they have morphed into today. Any negative reviews are typically the older generation. The accurizing that Alex has brought to the newest generation of the M and the L rifles has not been shouted from the rooftops. That's our fault. We have known about the upgrades for well over a year. I bet any negative reviews have not been of the latest rifles.
If you are on the fence or dismissed this platform in the past, maybe time for another look!

It's funny that I came across this article a few days ago and is the reason I came back to the forum to see if I could see anything new. I was interested in the XCR about 6 or 7 years ago, but people always seemed to be complaining about one thing or another. With this new generation, I am excited to add it to the top of my list as my next purchase.
I bought my DD from Wolverine 5 years ago and these guys are top notch. Their customer service has made me confident that if anything did occur with the XCR, that Wolverine would take care of any problems.
 
My tikka varmint with heavy barrel shoots same as my XCR-M (Federal Fusion 165gr), no difference whatsoever!! At 100 yards 3 shots groups can fit inside a Loonie coin on both rifles, and this has been further reduced to a 25 cents coin with my own reloads using 165gr and CFE 223 powder behind Russian LR primers. Tikka is there for the reference point when I test new ammo or create new powder/projectile combinations. Boy if only people knew about real capabilities of XCR-M it would be very difficult to find any due to extreme demand.
Now I feel confident enough to openly state that XCR-M could compete with almost any bolt action rifle within 500 yards with match or "pet loaded" ammo.

Agreed!

I think people need to remember that battle rifles are required to be 4 MOA or less. By the sounds of the latest rendition of the XCR, it is half of that, if not better.
I am getting about 3 MOA with my Daniel Defense at 100m, but that's with a stock trigger, a mediocre sight and my eyesight going to sh**.
With the Aimpoint Pro, I'm stacking rounds at 75m all day.
That being said, Minute of Pie Plate, at 100m is all I require for a battle rifle. Try hitting a man sized moving target after you've sprinted 150m. You need to worry more about your breathing than your 2MOA capable barrel to get your shots on target.
 
I finally bought an older xcr when the price was right. For a factory rifle I was impressed with the features: decent trigger, great bolt release and fully ambi. I'm a lefty so I like the ambi features. I managed to get an acr stock and adapter from the ee, expensive buy worth it I think. I don't like how ar buffer tubes look on the xcr, the contour isn't right in my eyes. Got rid of the terrible brake also and put on a battlecomp babc. It Is on the heavy side but I don't have a problem with heavy guns, feels decently balanced to me. It came in 6.8 spc and I bought a 5.56 conversion also so it's a good package. I'll still probably buy one of the other NR semis available but for smaller caliber I think I'll keep the xcr.

I don't know about a SCAR exactly but I recently did a side by side rapid fire shoot out between a Bushmaster ACR and an XCR... both in 223 and the ACR smoked the XCR for controllability.

Shooting slow deliberate fire, both were equally accurate, but shooting as fast as we could pull the trigger was a very different experience and the ACR was far easier to control.

I would be curious to do the same rapid fire test between a SCAR and ACR, because they are similar.
 
After a few years away from the platform I've decided to get another M. I just loved em so much. I have basically owned almost every iteration up to the keymod versions of the xcrs. They are very well balanced now. I'm interested to see what accuracy I can get, as my last attempt at handloads failed as my loads had an inconsistent crimp. I'll probably just be shooting surplus stuff for now anyways.
 
Mine was always more accurate then claimed with box ammo.
