Starting this build on a DD MK12 rifle. This will not be a Mod 1 clone, more of an interpretation.  Purchased it off a good friend unfired a little while back. Ordered everything I needed in the past few weeks and should have the rest of the parts by Friday. Cherry will be popped on Saturday, hopefully stretching out to 700yds.

Parts installed thus far:
Young Manufacturing Inc National Match BCG (swapped from a Noveske build)
Magpul MBUS Pro sights (stolen from same Noveske build)
B5 Systems SOPMOD Enhanced stock
Ergo Grip
Knights rail covers and Magpul ladder covers
DD Vertical Gip

Parts in shipping:
Dead Air brake (I have a Sandman L in ATF jail)
Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP MOA and Bubble Level
Bobro lever mount
Harris 6-9 Bipod (GG&G adapter and extended tension lever)

As she sits now before all the big stuff shows up:


Building to accompany with my custom 19.5" Savage

Thank you.

The man in brown made a small delivery today. The rest will be here tomorrow. Weather is looking good for Saturday so no reason not to get the MK12 out there.

USPS has failed me big time. Scope went to the wrong distribution center and wasn't delivered along with the bipod and some odds and ends. Still got to the range to break in the barrel and zero the back up sights. More to come next week......

Thanks! Does anyone have any factory load suggestions? I'll be testing ammo in the next few weeks and will be buying a verity of 75 and 77gr ammo.

Got the scope and bipod today. Mounted the scope and bubble level in the Bobro mount. Only waiting on a KAC vertical forward grip and Butler Creek covers now. Please excuse the poor photography, I'll get better pictures outside when it goes back to the range.
