Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

Got to run the 15k today out to a mile on steel courtesy of mountain mullets america today.... The 15k is badass ranges are instant. We were able to range out to 7500 yards. There was nothing within the shooting distance of my rifle it did not return.

Can't wait to buy one.

Thanks for that.. guess I be in it for a 15k too. Hopefully they release the mil version. I have my Raptar XE in route. So hopefully I can do a comparison with the 15k, Raptar S, Raptar XE, and PLRF25c BLE x3.

Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

IMO,

too many variables to go off a post..........
This is what I would do & have done, like so many here, many times for rifles of students and friends. We are looking to diagnose a failure point. It may be your reloading gear, the scope, chassis, or maybe even you. All to often we blame the gear, when in fact it sometimes is something we did

Course of action

1 I’d start by checking my resized brass and making sure my dies are secured properly. Recheck seating depth of bullet.

2 check the rifle. Loosen, reset and retorque everything to manufacturers’ specs. Relevel the scope. Make sure you fit the rifle to your body properly. A poorly setup rifle will perform poorly.

3 Load a few different bullets and see if maybe the barrel just doesn’t like your load. Just because we tell ourselves “this is what I want to shoot” means nothing. The rifle will tell you what it likes best when you find it. I had to go through 4 lots of ammo to find what one rifle likes. It part of this sport and profession.

4 Have someone watch and record you shooting. Sometimes we are the problem. Not an attack. Just truth I have seen all too often.

This may seem lot a lot but you have invested a lot of time and money in your rifle. Better to take a couple days to check everything than waste your investment.

If the rifle won’t shoot, might just be the barrel.
After that you can decide if you want to rebarrel or not

Need Info on Remington 40-XS

IMO , it's very niche. Some older people will pay 1500-3k, most people will walk away and don't care. Remington has destroyed thier historical "provenance" in the eyes of most people. Not all but ask many here, we saw them at their best and worst

I love my Remingtons, deployed with many, and would put my older rifles against any one but..............
For 2-3k you can have any custom action with a custom barrel chambered to your specs and it'll have a wider market in cases of need for resale.

Keep it, enjoy it, pass it on to a family member. It's a cool rifle
