I have commented on several post over the last month or so praising the XLR evolution chassis. While I still love the Xlr I am very impressed with the Mcree as well. I purchased an Sps Aac-sd 16.5" .223 a couple weeks ago and was about to order an XLR for it. In the meantime a good deal on the Mcree came up in the classifieds so I decided to give it a try. It is a very comfortable and robust chassis. So for anyone on the fence about going with an XLR or a Mcree....... That is one tough choice.
