Remington xm-3 vs Remington 40XS

The DARPA ones were made by IBA. I had one recently built by IBA and am disappointed in the build quality. They added a US stamp to the receiver that was originally not there and several other things and when I called them out I was told I was the problem. There is a thread on mine here. For the money have someone like LRI build one. Or tell IBA not to do certain things. I tried to tell them I wanted it stamped and marked like the originals. Mine came back and is not. So good luck.
To me, it depends what you're going to do with it.
If it's going to see field use as well as range use, then I would say the XM-3.
If it's going to be almost exclusively a range rifle, then the 40XS.
Honestly, with what a repro would cost to build either way, I'd just build a .308 to the specs I wanted.
