Thanks gunner,

My other hunting rifle is a Tikka T3 Lite in .270WSM - synthetic stock, scoped with a Nikon Monarch 3.5-10X. Its very accurate but where I'm hunting these past seasons, too much gun and the scope is too much magnification.

The Savage 99 is scoped low power in Leopold rings but they're not quick release. Sometimes I wish I didn't have the scope for taking shots at close deer that are running - I can't follow them in the scope when they're too close and then loose them in the bush. The XCR with the 552 would enable me to follow the deer as they run and take quick shots. Being a semi would give me the fasts follow shots. The flip to side magnifier would give a bit more reach when taking a static long shot.

The XCR would also allow me to participate in carbine/military fun shoots. Right now I don't own anything suitable and have to borrow my friend's AR15.
