I finally finished the rifle and got out today to sight it in. Pretty dang happy with the first outing. This from from a bench at an indoor range. The range was full and all the concussion was a little distracting but I managed to put together some decent groups!
  Here is the rifle. Aero Upper / Lower / Rail Larue MBT Trigger Warne 20moa MSR Optic Mount Vortex Diamondback Tactical scope (It'll work for now) Ballistic Advantage 22" barrel Surefire Brake  |

Impressive. I’ve got a similar M5 build, but I’ve only had it out once. Mine is 308, 20” Faxon Gunner barrel.

Nice. I’ve been slowly collecting parts to put one together - someday.

Nicely done.
Do you load? Custom ammo will really tweak the groups. Did for both of mine. H4350, IMR4350 and StaBALL 6.5 have all worked well for me. Most bullets I've tried have worked well too but mine like heavies. I'm running 22" Rainier and Proof Carbon barrels on mine. Enjoy the rifle, it is a really nice one. |

I did in the past but don't have the equipment anymore. I would like to get back in to it down the road here. |

Looks like a solid stick and good shooting. Hand loads should shrink those group a little. Well done, enjoy your long range hole puncher

I have 2 Creedmoor's a Grendel and now a 6.5 PRC bolt action. The more I shoot them the more I like them. enjoy that rifle. |

I have an aero 5.56 rifle with a 16" gunner that weighs sub 7 lbs loaded with a 1-6 lpvo. |
