Man I had forgotten what a nice rifle it is.
Nice trigger. Very nice.
Adjustable gas.
QD barrel
Nice smooth piston system.
We were both shooting the pet handload he's worked up for it into 1.5", through a $200 Bushnell (and I don't know what rings), and the 16" chrome lined 1:9 recon barrel.
The XCR seems to have a couple of nice improvements, like, say... its free floated/monolithic, and has a threaded barrel, and a more reliable mounting system for the barrel, or so it seems thusfar.
Too bad the M96 never really lived up to its potential though.
