I don’t like how they’re priced but it’s one of those parts that immediately felt perfect. It locks your hand into a very comfortable position for both benchrest/prone shooting and more dynamic, aggressive CQB stuff where you really want to have that strong and positive control over the rifle. I probably sound like a shareholder but I just think it’s a superb grip - it’s all I use on ARs. |

Scope just arrived yesterday... Have not shot it yet. Already planning on buying a matching 16.5" upper for an SPR setup (I blame 9-Hole Reviews for that one!)  Attached File Attached File |

Yours looks a lot more comfortable though |

Black Hills 77 OTM looks promising. That first round went high (guessing the suppressor settling on the mount), and then the next 4 went into a nice group. 62gr Gold Dot Soft Point shoots good as well.

Kinda want a MCX now. Good thing my kids still like macndogs for dinner. Cereal every night and they might start asking questions though. |

It’s a clean look. I haven’t shot it since installing the FF RAS, but plan to in the next few weeks. I previously had a 10.5” MI rail on it and was happy with how it shot. I just regretted selling my RAS and switching to the MI rail on this setup. It has a Centurion 15.1” barrel. Attached File |

12.5 BA CHF/CL mid-gas, AA block (which finally showed up the day before I went to italy for 3 weeks ) and extend-o-brake for the AEM5. Still needs a gas tube (en route) and maybe a 3x magnifier, but I'll make a decision on that a little later. Attached File |

This is with AAC 77g OTMs that have performed less than stellar. I forgot my 77gr FGMM SMKs at home  Absolutely capable of smaller groups... I'm going to look in to a better trigger, but that can wait. PS... I can't count. I did two 6rd groups Attached File |

| @Rigley I’d recommend Koeng: Koeng.co for good top ring mounts. I’ve had several variations. |

Attached File Attached File Took these guys out to 500 today, didn’t have a ton of time. Really mixed bag. On the plus side I finally got enough sample size for a good dope on the 14” LMT. On the downside, literally all the ammo I shot was wrong for that dataset (I need a dope for 77gr SMK, fired a bunch of 55gr ball today) so it’s…directionally useful? Clearly I was under caffeinated. Also, my NX8 has decided illumination is optional. Also also, my MAWL is absolutely eating batteries when turned off. Like I said, mixed bag but it was fun as always. The 11” is too much fun even if it’s an odd duck.

Attached File 55gr was holding on for dear life at 600 with a gusting crosswind. Heavier bullets required a lot less work. |

Let’s see come July but it was perfectly comfortable at 80F this afternoon with a fairly bright overhead sun. Worst case, I’ll lay on top of a jacket or something. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get too atomic. Small price to pay for access to a multi-level elevated tower with targets out to 1,100 yards! |

I'd kill for something like that here. |
