I'm fairly new to the long range game. I participate mostly in multigun. I use the Robinson XCR as my rifle. I have been thinking about getting into the PRS side a bit so I am going to be here researching and asking more questions. I recently took my newest XCR-L out to the ranch and wen out as far as 600 yards. This pic. Is a 3 shot at 500.
Robinson XCR
- Thread starter owtlaw
- Start date
Nice shooting. I own what I think is probably a first generation XCR. A fun gun that never really seemed to catch on, even though it has features that have subsequently become pretty popular (piston, ability to swap out barrels). I never really thought of the XCR as a PRS gun, and I bet you're not going to see a lot of them if you start shooting these competitions. But you are used to the platform and seem to be getting very good results as far as accuracy, so why not?
That is good shooting with it, probably within it's limits so that means you're doing your part! That's what, 1MOA? But like he said, doubt you'll see those in precision matches but I've used unorthodox shit before and I could outshoot guys with better shit simply due to the fact I could fire that rifle to it's limit and they hadn't gotten familiar enough with theirs. This wasn't a PRS match BTW, just farting around in the army with other SDM's and personally owned weapons. I had a complete dope book full of good info and knew exactly what to expect from a particular rifle though. It was an issue M4 carbine at the time, an SDM setup.
I wanted a Robinson back in the late 90's, they were coming out with the Stoner setup, was supposed to be a semi Stoner 63. Turned out to be a POS (may have shot well but wasn't the rifle we were promised) nothing in common with a Stoner and they never came out with all the conversions they promised (Stoner 63 is by far the most modular weapon ever made, if it were updated with rails and shit it'd be so even more). None of the top mag fed, belt fed or other conversions were ever issued..
But a rep from RA came on here a while back asking us for advice and for comments. I wrote him a good one about the prices vs. what's available today and about how they dropped the ball on the Stoner and he agreed. He also said that the Stoner was something they'd like to put back in the works and flesh out like they promised twenty years ago, that they've gotten a lot of responses from people who still want it. He said there was other, new stuff they were working on too.
So we'll see. If they ever come out with a close Stoner 63 clone, I'm on board with that.

Ya I am told that they have plans to bring back the M96 . I actually own 8 of them. That group I posted is just over 2-1/2" so about 1/2 moa. I have an M model in .308 and also one in 6.5 cr. Love the rifles. I run 1 for 3 gun and it has been rock solid. They are making great improvements and it sounds like they will be bringing some new products to market soon.
I'll post one of my .308 groups. 100 yards with the Double Tap 155 National Match ammo 4 shots.
