First of all, what is your budget? If it is high enough to afford the XCR Tactical LR, I would go with "neither".

My choice would be to find a old used Remington 700 and get the action squared and a good match quality barrel installed, and drop it in the stock of your choosing. The Bell and Carlson the XCR sits in retails for about $240, that wouldn't be a bad place to start, or the factory 700 Police stock is a good choice for $320.

You could build a pretty good custom rifle for the ~$1400 MSRP of the XCR.
