The RA XCR-L is comparable to the SCAR 16S.

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.

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.

So my f*cking CDP II finally shipped last Thursday. 2day delivery! But wait... they don't deliver on the weekends. Well f*ck. Oh well, it'll be delivered on Monday! Wait... whats this... my FFL is closed monday!? f*ck again. I'll have to wait till Tuesday... Wait a second... They're closed on Tuesday as well!!!!! holy f*cking sh*t. Well Wednesday it is. Oh and lets not forget I have to abide by California's 10-day waiting period. You know, just in case I go ape sh*t in 10days or something and decide to blast up a crowd of people, I won't be able to do it with a f*cking 1911. I'll just have to use one of my other f*cking guns!!! Makes no sense at all. If I own a gun, and have a clean background why the hell should I have to wait 10days?!?!?!

I hate Cali.....

Man that sucks.

If it wasn't for the California government, Cali would be a great place to live.

They screw with a lot of stuff. Like the whole emissions thing. For example one of the biggest Aftermarket parts companies for my car won't sell a lot of their stuff in Cali anymore. Even putting "off road use only" didn't help. They pulled all their performance parts. I luckily got them before that happened.

Also our Smog Checks are ridiculous...

Are they? Because when I've been to LA, and when the smog is bad, it's gross...

I'm sure thats the multimillion dollar companies that pay off their inspectors. Nah, they pick on the lil guys that wanna add a little more power to their cars.

Then, to 300 metres (not yards)...

Ok, ok...it's only my second and third time shooting this rifle. But, boy, am I pleased. Now...onward to 400, 500, and beyond!!

Good job! Just need some more practice. Are you going to roll your own for your rifle or find a factory load that groups well?
