XCR or MR1

XCR trigger gets an B+ or A grade

XCR trigger is excellent but just get the one you like best!
Semis are fun gun and you should fall in love with it on first sight.
I have much beloved XCR-L and get questions and remarks about it all the time but it's a shooters and miraculously never jams!

I seriously considered HK SL8, Binelli MR1, Robinson Arm XCR and Swiss Arms Green Rifle but wanted an all metal gun (for durability) and simply could not afford a Swiss Arms Green Rifle!

Don't worry too much about the price since you might very well shoot $5 000 - 10 000$ in ammo in it's lifetime!

what bug me of XCR is the stupid jamming

I had exactly 2 jams in thousands of rounds. Both were my fault for not seating the mag properly.

Reading the pages upon pages of people adjusting the XCR, poking at this, poking at that, loctiting bits and pieces here and there, new version versus old version, customer service issues, management issues, QC issues blah blah blah blah turned me off real fast.

In reading comments about the XCR on this site you need a very strong BS filter. There is no need to loctite anything, customer service is handled by Wolverine Supplies, who are excellent. The rifle is great, and shoots wonderfully. There are some serious haters on CGN.

I have an XCR. I love it. I am also a benelli guy (I have a supersport, used to have a nova), and their stuff is great too. Personally though, for this kind of gun I'd go with the XCR.
 
I really wish either came in a southpaw version.

Robinson did ambi the safety and the bolt release. That's a good start. The ejector ejects forward and to the right, more so than most semis I've shot, so it won't hit you in the face.

Some of you try to write in french without any faults, i think i am getting by pretty good for a french talking person, any old teacher in this crowd... JP.

I just assumed you were Quebecois. I think it is rude to criticize someone's keyboard skills, especially given how, for many, english is a second language. Ma francais, ce n'est pas bien.

As for the OP. If you live in S.W. Ontario and would like to try an XCR, I'll come to the range with you (or you with me) and we can put some rounds down mine.
 
I agree, if you have a chance, try both firsthand and see what feels good to you.

Beyond what the mystical interwebs and its pages of armchair commandos like myself and others will tell you, only you can ultimately decide what you like better in the end. :D
 
beneli with comfortech stock after talking to gunsmith and staff at club, they sell both mr1 (normal stock) and xcr and they recommend the beneli
 
Can't comment on the benelli as I went with the XCR. I've got about 750 rounds in and it has been nearly flawless. A couple times it didn't go all the way back into battery, but that was on gas setting 1 with light handloads. On setting 2 it eats anything I've fed it and runs like a champ. No other problems of any sort.

That being said the benelli looks like a sweet gun too... maybe I need one of each...
 
No time to hate nobody gun my only experience with the XCR is that guy i met 3 times at the range, we shot each other rifle and it does shoot super good but i did jam, not everybody have a Wolverines to prepare the rifle, not sure that man dealer know much about XCR because he still had issues with it on Thursday... Respectfully. JP.

Doesn't matter where he bought it, Wolverine services them in Canada. They are the importer. The dealer bought it from Wolverine.

Next time you see him, tell him to do the following:

(1) unload the rifle and lock the bolt in the rear position.
(2) PROVE the rifle safe
(3) look at the front, at the tube above the barrel coming from the handguard.
(4) depress the little detent on the tube and and rotate the tube counter-clockwise until the detent is pointing at the position marked "4".
(5) Put at least 500 rounds down while in this position, after which he can change it to "2".

Should stop his problems. If he's using mags by C-products, they could also be the culprit recommend he try the LAR-15 mags.
 
Thank you for the info, i wrote everythings down and will explains to him as he does not speak english, let you know how it turn... JP.

Don't forget to check to that the gas block is tight!
I can work itself lose after 300-400 rounds.

My rifle worked great with MIL-spec ammo (very strong loads) but would sometimes jam with weaker commercial ammo.
I read my user manual and and retightened the rifles's gas block.
Not a jam since with "weak" commercial ammo.

Never had any problems with my XCR in 7.62x39(close to 1000 rouds). I like the cheap ammo, 10 round mags(when they will be in...), non restricted, etc...
I have shot a Benelli, no problems and it seemed accurate. I don't exactly like the look; to me it is as much a black rifle as the Mini-14 and the PC9(which it reminded me of).
 
Are folks having problems with the older XCRs. Got mine ~May, put first 50 rounds in highest setting of 4, then to 1 for both 7.62 and 5.56 barrel. 1500 rounds of MFS 7.62, 500 rounds of AE 223, don't recall ever having any jams at the lowest 1 setting.

Both 223 and 7.62 will hit clay pigeons at 200yd every shot. Sighted in for 7.62 at 100yd. At 200yds the 223 is dead on cross hair, the 7.62 POI is 3" lower. 7.62 shatters the clay pigeons to smithereens, 223 in chunks. Takes under a minute to switch barrels but mine stay predominately on 7.62 cause it so much more fun than 223.

Only loctite required was the right side safety.

Front heavy and expensive is only complaint. Cool factor wise luv my OD Green, my pet firearm that always accompanies me to the range.
 
Nope!!:D Ine is a first gen as well. Same thing as you, a couple of loctited bolts and good to go with no mods. Later on it got the adjustable gas upgrade cause I found one cheap and i did a little trigger tweaking. Only issue I have had is C-products mags!!:mad:
