Yeah... Nice gun... and seemingly nice people to talk to...
I thought it was strong competition for the XCR.
But I went the XCR route for two main reasons:
1) I've had previous conversations with Alex regarding my Vepr Super.
He was extremely helpful even though I did not buy the rifle from him
(it was an estate find!).
2) I've read extremely favorable reports about the XCR from John Farnam
via his quips postings, both about the gun's reliability and regarding the
availability and friendliness of the RA Support Staff.
That combination is really hard to match by the competition these days.
