Ok.. here it is. Mounted and bore sighted. I was at the range today, but only shot the pistols and the Henry. The 700 will have to wait a while. Just got my stitches out on Friday from knee surgery.

It is a NightForce NXS 5.5-22 X 56 with the MOAR reticle. The mount is the direct fit for the Remington 700P with the 20 MOA rise. Now to learn how to properly use it....

I love the smell of gun powder in the morning!

I know, I know...not correctly quoted. But it's been almost three weeks since I shot anything.



I do love that smell, tho

RA XCR-L looks like the SCAR 17 (heavy) that I have my eyes set on.

I also did too until I researched it more, then I changed my mind.
similar stocks tho
very similar and the xcr is also quick change barrel along with any of these calibers to choose from (5.45, 5.56,6.5,6.8, 300 blk, 7.62x39).

Damn, that looks really nice. Thanks for posting the pics. Now I'm going to have to search for these.

The RA XCR-M is the 308 (7.62x51) version, comparable to the SCAR 17S.

I rather take a SCAR 17S over a RA XCR-M because there are more available parts, it is lighter weight, and the big one, it is a battle proven rifle. When I eventually get mine I'll be doing the Handl Defense SCAR25 lower conversion. This will allow me to use SR-25/M110 pattern magazines.

You might want to check your info on those. RA doesn't make 6.5 Grendel barrels any more and I'm unsure if they ever did. RA did say they were working on one a while back.

RA never released a 300 BLK barrel and I don't think they ever will. RA did say they were working on a .300-221 (300 BLK) barrel a while back but nothing came of it. From what I've read 300 BLK is hard to adapt to piston guns with out completely redesigning the gas system. Many companies have tried and when they couldn't get their standard gas system to work they stopped trying.

Yep same lower for me . The only thing stopping me is that price tag. Thats a bit on the steep side (especially after buying a Kimber CDP II)

No kidding! The cost of a SCAR 17S plus the SCAR25 lower...
Might get the MOD 2 version because I want to keep my SCAR as light as possible. Also a magnesium lower is just plain cool but it might not be worth the price. Still thinking about it.

Now you can find the standard aluminum ones at some very discounted prices. Just have to look for them. Gunbroker is a good place to look and I think Rainier Arms has a good deal too.

FYI there is a GEN II version of the SCAR25 lower. However only X Products is selling it. It is a joint venture between Handle Defense and X products. The new design is more compatible with X Products 50 round drum mags and improves reliability of X Product drum mags with the SCAR 17S.
