XCR-M first shooting report

[MaverickXCR]

Hey all,

I'm very happy to report my first day at the range with my new XCR-M went extremely well. I fired off 20 rounds of PRVI 145gr. @ 50 yds with no problems whatsoever, and thanks to my new buddy Jeff at my club, I was able to sight in my optic and put the last mag on paper. Sweet.
The XCR-M is extremely smooth with very manageable recoil for a .308 calibre. It's a little heavy, but nothing a good bench rest won't help manage. I'm looking forward to trying it out at some longer distances over the next little while. Also can't wait to get through the breaking-in period so I don't have to run it on max gas! Damn, it throws brass far! Anyways, here's a pic of my work in progress, hope you guys enjoy:

Robinson Arms XCR-M
Elcan SpecterDR 1-4x optic w/ anti-reflection device
Magpul PMAG 20LR
Magpul AFG2
Magpul XT rail covers

Still to come: Magpul MIAD Grip kit



Cheers,

Mav

You've got 5G's worth of gear in that picture, and only 20 rounds?WTF Cmon get shooting.

Haha, first day at the range, just doin my quals, man. I shot all the ammo and mags I had. I'll be out there, trust me!

Love your set up man! Thats pretty much how I envision a future loadout being when Ineventually buy one.

 

[MaverickXCR]

Thanks, man. If you have any other ideas/thoughts, would love to hear them. I had originally wanted the EoTech HHS II optic system, but good luck getting it up here!

Are you going to reload for it, or stick to factory?

 

[MaverickXCR]

Gonna stick to factory, I just don't have the spare time to reload. The PRVI was very good, and I can pick it up for a reasonable price from Budget Shooter Supply once he comes back from summer vacation.
