XCR-M First Impressions (Suggestions for range report wanted!)

[ggh]

Good stuff. Heel toe. Heel toe. With a slight knee bend. Nice area to shoot btw.

Kinda late in replying but I'm assuming when You say your xcr-l is too light for deer, you mean it's in 5.56? Why not just buy a 500$ 7.62x39 kit? That round is a definite deer stopper. But hey man if your paychecks are that big I am jealous!

Conversion kits cost $750. Not $500.

You have the most accurate xcr-m on the planet if it can pull 1 moa on average from five round groups.
Show me four or five groups averaging 1moa on the same target sheet and my world will be turned upside down.

Maybe they're one shot groups. (Sorry, couldn't resist being a smart a$$.)

I told myself id wait until next year but you gave me the itch to go to my local gun store, which actually has one in stock.
my gf is going to ring my neck

Thanks!

Actually had a Conservation Officer come up the road to see what we were up to there. He said he was sitting and watching us shoot from another hill with his binoculars and wanted to come over and see if we were LE/Military based on the rifles. Surprisingly, when we said we weren't he didn't even ASK about the classification of the XCR-M.

It's all been done before.
But to summarize, your looking at 2 to 3 moa at absolute best for an average group size with five round groups.
Vertical stringing due to the Mickey Mouse barrel attachment method is common.
For the fan boys, yes it'll pull a decent group off once in a while, especially if you're a three round group kind of guy. But the average isn't good.

To the op, slap an eotech, aim point etc on there and have fun, it'll never be a precision rifle so you might as well play to its strengths (soft recoil, ergos).

That's a lot of words... but no substantiation?? This thread from 2012 seems to be contrary to your claims:

Nicely done. The exact kind of info I had been looking for, but was too lazy to search.

Nice accuracy on that stock xcr. thanks again Sir

So I sorta-kinda finished the front-end of my XCR-M I think... The only other thing I think I would possibly add at this point would be something like an Inforce light...

I have some goodies for the stock in the mail right now...
