lapua Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Anyone using one of these? What sort of accuracy can yiu grt with tuned ammo? Thinking one might be quite useful for vermin shooting with night vision. I see SGC make them, does anyone else? Valkyrie/bradley etc...

Cad Monkey Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Laupa. I have one and find it very accurate using GGG 'match' ammo (69 grain). You have to be a bit careful with home loads, especially when new, as the rifle is pressure sensitive and requires quite a hot load in order to work the gas system, however once run in I have found the operation faultless with my own home loads using 77 SMK's and CFE. The experience of shooting the rifle is a lot different from a 'standard' straight pull as you have the bolt carrier slamming back on every shot fired but you soon get used to it. It's a great rifle and a keeper, fortunately I didn't buy new and would find it hard to justify the current asking price however if your flush with cash then go for it, you wont be disappointed. In addition I would say and the SGC lever release design beats all the competitors currently on the market in terms of it's ergonomics and function. Hope this helps.

Late Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Does anyone else make one apart from SGC, can bradders do one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 No, the MARS v58 is of a different design based on another platform. There are plans to import a Robinsons XCR type 'lever release' rifle but as yet it's not available for sale in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Does anyone else make one apart from SGC, can bradders do one? No chance I'm afraid I did look into possibly making one a few years ago, but we never went any further than that. It's too costly for someone like me to gear up for these, Inc dedicated receivers and other proprietary parts etc. As Cad Monkey said, they may be ammo sensitive, but is is also worth bearing in mind that the std modified GI issue type trigger is.

ds1 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Gerald had one of the XCR rifles on the Bemchgrade stand at the BSS. It was in 308. Don't know the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
