I came across the magazine waiting at the store for my drugs (legal of course).
Its an amazing coverage of the platform and while I was aware of hte wide spread interest and offering (both guns and accessories ) it really brings hone the range and depth of all of them. Its plain hyge. From thee .458 SOCOM that seems insane to Remingtons new offering offering as a hunting gun.
What stuck me was that the XCR comes out as by fare superior to the offerings. Instead of a tube over the barrel you add the 1913 rials to, it has the rails there already. If you don't want to use the rails, you get inexpensive plastic covers and make it hand friendly.
Multi caliber is easier and does not require all sorts of special tools, indexing or a factory torque, and by doing away with the upper (basically most of the an AR15) you are not repeating all those parts you already bought.
Article on free floating actually being more accurate, the XCR has it. I wrote them and told them that they should have included the XCR, as it stand unique in the offerings, not just a variation of the old M16.
Don't get me wrong, there are some cool offerings, but when all is said and done, none match up toe the XCR, but its a great reference book to have around.
