2 thoughts come to mind (and I am no expert. I have just seen others setups). Take my 2 cents for what its worth.
-Are you planning on a VFG or AFG? -4.5-14 seems like a lot of scope for 3 gun. How are you planning to hit closer targets? Nice rifle though. |

I have been leaving the optic on 4.5 and ripping up close targets with no problem.. I have a 1x4 also but haven't needed to sight it in yet.

+1 on the scope - magnification seems excessive for close-medium ranges.
A muzzle brake will help significantly. If this gun doubles as a SHTF rifle, look at the DynaComp or BattleComp as they offer significant compensation effect without being as blasty as a traditional muzzle brake. Your rifle is very similar to my 16" midlength gas lightweight backup rifle (primary 3-gun rifle is an 18" rifle gas midweight):  |

Be careful when using X-long rifle handguards with short barrels. The blast from the comp can present a serious hazard if you grip the very end of the handguard like I do. Minimum length barrel I'll use with an XL handguard is 18" for this very reason.

I have a short length of Picatinny rail on the left side to act as an index point/hand stop (doubles as a flashlight rail). Here is the left side of the same rifle:

I like it that way around much better - it is faster to deploy for me because the serrated pad falls right under my support hand thumb, and it gives me a slightly longer sight radius. Please tell me what problem having it this way around is going to cause. |

I think you will like the 1-4 scope more because it will be faster up close. You need a comp.
Other than that its tight. |

A friend of mine did that with an SBR. No blood, but it got his attention. |

How close are your close targets? 4.5 is way too much power up close. By close I mean 10 yards or less. Your optic needs to go for this sport. Get the 1-4 sighted in. Pat |

Also get as mentioned before, get a comp like a mickulek (sp) brake, then shoot the crap out of the gun. ETA: Pat I'm still pissed I lost to you at the Ironman. |

I had a great time. Back to the topic missed that he did not have a brake. I really like the Titan brake. |
