This review details accuracy tests of the Beretta ARX-100, revealing 'service grade' accuracy under 3 MOA, with a rail fix not significantly improving it. The Robar SR21 demonstrated impressive sub-MOA performance with match-grade .308 loads. The MGI Hydra was also shown in its 7.62x39mm configuration, highlighting magazine compatibility nuances.

This range day review compares the MGI Hydra and Robinson Armament XCR-L. The MGI Hydra impresses with its modularity, allowing quick caliber changes between 5.56x45mm and 9mm, demonstrating reliable performance in both. Conversely, the XCR-L, while accurate at longer ranges, suffers from significant heat-related malfunctions like short-strokes and stovepipes, even after gas system adjustments.

The MGI Hydra is a highly modular rifle built on the AR-15 platform, allowing for tool-less caliber swaps. It demonstrated conversions to 9mm and 7.62x39mm by swapping barrels and magwells. The system retains standard AR-15 controls, enhancing user familiarity and muscle memory across different calibers. Its design concept dates back to the Vietnam War, aiming to utilize enemy ammunition.
