The XCR Long Range Tactical has the cool 40X trigger, but a Bells & Carlson Stock (not in the same catagory of a Mcmillan or HS) with a higher MSRP than the Sendero and VS but slightly less than the P.

If price is a main factor, the SPS Varmint (my opinion put it equal with an XCR) will do almost everything the VS or P shoulld do in 308 with a cheaper Hogue stock. I think it is a comperable rifle to the XCR at almost 1/2 the price. You can always upgrade the stock later to improve the groups. Now if you were looking at the XCR Tact, that 40X adjustable trigger is cool, but with a B&C Stock it is still cheaper to buy an SPS and upgrade the stock and trigger and be a couple hundred dollars ahead.

If the adjustable trigger is your goal, that Savage starts to look mighty good.
that brings up some very good points to consider. so many choices its hard to pick.
