| Do any of you have any experience with the Noveske Recce Basic Upper, the Light Recce Low Pro Upper and/or Rogue Hunter A3 Upper? This would be mostly as a range gun. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks |
My Noveske Basic Upper now looks like this:
Shitty cell phone pic. It has been flawless though a couple thousand rounds now and monthly 3-gun competition. I went with the Basic recce because I wanted the rail of my choice. No matter which Noveske you choose, you will not make a bad choice. They just all have tradeoffs depending on your budget, mission/needs, and weight. |
| If by range gun you mean a paper puncher, I'd go with a heavier stainless barrel. I've put 3,000+ rounds through my low-pro upper and it does heat up fairly quick at the range (constant shooting). I also have an 18" SPR, and that one holds tighter groups for longer. You're not going to hurt the Low-Pro barrel, but heat does cause groups to open up a bit on those lighter weight barrels. They're great for hunting and defense (still plenty accurate), but if you're trying to shoot for tiny groups, I can tell you from experience you'll enjoy a heavy stainless barrel more. For out to 300-400 yards, the 14.5" Afghan or 16" Recon with NSR should do the trick nicely, and be extremely lightweight/handy. I just ordered an Afghan myself. |
