I'm all for "plinging"
Just start with one caliber and buy the other when funds allow.
Now if you're talking about choosing between an XCR-L or XCR-M, I would go with the M.
These rifles are damn close to a "battle-rifle" for weight. 8lbs in .223
I think if the new M's were close to the L's in weight they would make a great rifle in .308.

I got one in 7.62x39 right now that I plan on taking deer hunting in a couple of weeks, gonna give the Hornady SST a go and see how they run. Once the 308's become available though, I may turn the 7.62x39 into my high end plinker.

Agree 100%, just make sure that you get an XCR-M if you both plink and hunt!
Don't forget that you can get 6.8 SPC conversion for a XCR-L for deer hunting.

do these more capable rifles shoot lazers or plasma??? Didn't think so...I think the shooter makes the rifle capable not vise versa...well maybe not in mall ninja land

Well, even though I'm not an XCR fan I'd have to say the .223 for plinking and a separate 6.8 SPC upper for hunting.
Buy both otherwise your child making device might fall off.
But seriously, XCR-L 7.62x39 for plinking and 6.8 SPC for hunting, in a pinch 7.62x39 can be used for hunting you just have to be closer to your game and use softpoints.
Nothing like plinking at 14 cents a round

Depends on what you hunt (if you hunt at all)
Depends on what type of hunting you do!
6.8 SPC is a great deer cartridge but 308 is a great all-rounder.
If I were looking primarly for a utility/hunting rifle, I would get an XCR-M.

and those same 7.62X39 mags with fit eleven thats right eleven 6.8SPC...
I agree with Blaxsun = I have both 223 & 6.8SPC uppers for my XCR-L...

I'd like a 308, just because. In reality, both is better.

If I were primarily looking for a utility/hunting rifle... I'd buy a hunting rifle (probably something in .300 WSM). The XCR-M in .308 is fine, but it's not exactly cheap to 'plink' with, either. That's why I think the XCR in .223 with a 6.8SPC upper is a better option (again, just sticking to options with the XCR).
Thanks guys for all your comment! I'm currently leaning toward the xcr-l .223 for now, (even though I know in then end I'll want both of them) but I'm juste scared the xcr-l will look goofy with the 18,5 barrel. Anyone has some pics that they took themselves?! It would help me decide, I'm just not conviced with the pics I find on google.
