Yes. I wasn’t really considering the ammo with that recommendation. Just the platform.
By the way, that XCR looks really nice. The AK has some advantages for a couple of reasons(price and common use are two), but I may have to add one to my arsenal. [/quote]
Yeah I really did alot of looking around before I ordered it. If you want one I would order it like right fucking NOW, because they are so backlogged. I still have a wait of like 2 months!!! In the meantime I’m stocking up on ammo.
BTW, you know anything about scopes???
Ok I know at this point I’m probably gonna be labeled as an XCR cheerleader. One of the reasons why I bought this rifle is because it can easily be converted to use the 6.5 Grendel round. Well I’ve read about it but I just found this video. If you can shoot thru a car and still be able to kill a person I’m down 6.5 mm Grendel bullet in test, AR-15 - YouTube

I like Leopuld, sp, for good but not to expensive. You can get a decent 3 x9 with mildots in the 400$. I also have the new Bushnell 6500 3.5 x 30 I think with mildots that I bought for app 700$ for my bushmaster 50 caliber. It has external click adjustments btw.

Do you know how much it costs to switch between calibers? I am assuming just barrel and matching bolt.
They actually seem like a good buy. With the price my high standard AR would bring now on auction, I may actually consider trading up.
Mock-up of the upcoming Robinson XCR-M in 7.62x51 NATO

Yeah, but a 7.62x51 will do that, too. Even a 110-grain, if you’re concerned about recoil (which you, being a big strong dude, needn’t be).
And you can get 7.62x51, Jawara. As much as you want.
Hell, even if you didn’t have access to military supplies, you can still about 3 rounds of 7.62 FMJ for the price of one round of 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC (unless you want to buy shitty-ass Wolf ammo) and the .308 will outperform both of the smaller rounds.

That would open up a shit load of caliber options.
.243 WIN
.270 WSM
.300 WSM
…are ones that I would be interested in. If they could do this for $550 as well, they would be way ahead of the LR-308 or AR-10 platform. They would probably want to offer these and the .308 in 20" barrels as an option.

i have 2 Eotech sights and I think they’re fine for quick shooting at close to moderate distances, maybe 200 yards. they’re not precision, but they’ll work fine.
