Hunting AR Thread, Built!

[Thefisherman83]

Sounds like you're building my rifle!

Looks like we are up and running.

Hows she shoot?

[Thefisherman83]

Lights out. .75" @100 and killing steel out to 550 with the cheap stuff from freedom munitions. Not sure on the size of the plate out at the range, but I can't seem to miss it. I'm running a 20" Mega barrel and a timney trigger.  The thing is a tank though, if your planning on packing it I'd reconsider the stock. It weighs something like 2lbs on its own.

[h20hunter]

Nice.  Went ahead and ordered an Eberlstock pack. The. Lodrag with built in scabbard.

[Thefisherman83]

I weighed mine the other day just to see and it came in at 13.4lbs. 

[h20hunter]

Eberstock Lodrag has arrived. Man thats a nice pack!

Wow, that one's got some weight to it, huh? Those PRS stocks are heavy though, and you're probably including the bipod in that too?

Ha! mine's 21.5

You'll love that pack. Now you just need to finish the gun!

Yeah that was with a loaded 20rd mag as well. It doesn't help that it's a 20" heavy barrel. I didn't build this one to pack though. It's pretty much a bench gun.

[h20hunter]

First 50 loaded up. 45 gr varget, 168gr sierra matchkings. Just a gnats hair under 2.8 oal as my calipers are not super accurate.

Holy crap!  I guess mine is an ultralight then lol.

[yorketransport]

Looks like you're ready to go. It's a shame it's such a boring caliber!

[dreadi]

I built a 6.8 SPC  from an 80% Arms upper and lower, ARP 18" barrel, Vortex 3-12x scope, BCM LPK Stock Grip and Forearm. Did the Duracoat myself and wrapped the scope with camo wrap. Shoots less than half inch groups at 200yds and makes a nice little "Tink" sound 400yds on steel.

Probably cost about $1200 before tools and supplies for Duracoat. I took a deer with it yesterday.

Nice job dreadi on that duracoat.
