Just finished this rifle. M&P lower, upper is from Bravo Company, BMC bolt group, WOA 20" SS barrel 1:7 twist with a wylde chamber, two stage trigger, PRS stock, and VTAC rail. It's fairly heavy but, well balanced. I haven't had a chance to go to the range with it yet but, I hope it's a tac driver. The optic is an IOR 2-12. What do you think? ETA: I haven't received the grip yet hence no trigger guard.  |

I got to the range for a bit today. I was mostly working out a couple of kinks with the trigger and working up some loads with 8202 and TAC. I did manage to get a few decent groups though. It would have been nice to have some factory ammo to get a base line on what the rifle will do. I think the groups will shrink down once I get a load dialed in for the rifle and I get used to the trigger. Anyway, pics: All are 10 shot groups.     |

Thanks guys! HS2, This is my first WOA barrel and I'm very pleased with it so far. I only put 200 or so rounds through it today and I was having some trigger trouble. I really think the barrel will shoot half inch groups with the right load and me doing my part. I only shot 77 grain Nosler and Sierra bullets today so, I really hope the fast twist is going to work as well for 55 grain bullets. I really wanted a 1:8 but, I didn't think it was worth the extra $40 and the wait time. |

Quoted: Try a load block and some 80gr Berger/A-max/SMK with Varget, R15 or AA2230. Load the bullets to just touch the rifling. Shoot at 200 yards as the MOA might be better than 100 yards. Nosler brass is prepped out of box. I prep my own LC brass. The groups will shrink down once I get a couple of kinks worked out. I replaced the trigger today with a RRA NM two stage. I can't seem to get the other trigger adjusted properly. The load I would normally use for shooting groups is 77 grain SMKs with 24 grains of RE-15. I'm sure I'll get over to the 200 and 300 yard range once I get everything settled with the rifle. |

Quoted: Been lookin at WOA barrels..the match barrel might make its way to my next gun. I love that handguard though...where did you get it? I got the handguard from www.bravocompanyusa.com. They are one of the supporting vendors on this site. Great people to deal with. |
