Optics to Come....

Very nice! What do you have in mind for the optics?

I have a Nikon Prostaff 3x9 40 but after I recover from the build cost I'm looking at a Leatherwood 6x24 50 ART Scope any comments on it?

You know, that doesn't look like a 24" barrel at all. Looks like 18" at the most. (that's a good thing on the AR platform).

I really like the way you've put your rifle together. It looks very neat and clean and purposeful, without all the extraneous tacticool foofaraw.

Good job!

That is a great looking rifle. I'll bet that it will shoot well.

 

[GreySmoke]

I built it specificly for distance bench shooting. I didn't want any extraneous weight or cost.

Nice...
Mind if I ask what the parts ran you $?

 

[GreySmoke]

Just over $1500

 

[hodaka]

Very nice. I bet that you would really appreciate a Jewell trigger on it.

 

[GreySmoke]

A little upgrade went in....
I installed a RRA Rock River Arms AR National Match NM 2 Stage Trigger AR15/10 (RRA-AR0093NMK) Kit w/Options 3.5 Pound Trigger.

Now I just need to get out and shoot it...

If your LR 308 shoots as well as mine does, you'll be a VERY happy camper!
