My definitions are based on military SPRs and recces such as the Mk12 SPR family and the SEAL/CAG recce rifles we've seen. IMHO, those are the rifles that established both concepts in my book, so those are the standards I acknowledge. The SPR fills a very specific role whereas the recce is more of a jack-of-all-trades gun. You can kick doors and clear rooms, AND hit targets out to 650ish with a recce; I personally would hate to have to clear rooms with an SPR. Nice descriptions. I agree, but since the NF 2.5-10x24 seems to have been used on a lot of .mil recce's isn't 10x and under a better criteria? I don't think I'd argue against that, I suppose. |

I'm pretty sold on them. I got into them after getting a couple micoMOA GB's because they clear the GB. I run this one and one on my SBR. I tend to throw my stuff around and treat it like a tool and these haven't been a problem yet. I have several NSR's by way of comparison. What I really like which these is the integral sling swivels. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything "wrong" with them. |

The recce Looking forward to the end result..... Mine is definitely dated. LOL. Plus I have too much cheap stuff for it to be considered cool. I did replace the UTG rail covers with magpul ones finally. I'll be honest, I'm not sure the magpul ones are much better. LOL. They do have a bit better grippiness to them. And they seemed like they might latch on a bit better. But I'm not sure it translates to much. If I ran that gun hard with either of them I'd probably have to wrap some tape around them to keep them put. It was a pricey upper though. All WOA. And yeah, that mount is solid. But again, I'm not really sure if you're giving up anything in comparison (with your scope mount)....... Except the name. |

Any suggestions for a muzzle device? I've never tried a brake because I've always been told the trades off aren't worth it; I've always used birdcages. I've been on a tear lately finishing this build. New grip, VFG, m600, sr07. Just need an offset mount and a muzzle device to play with.

|
Intended use? Are you eventually going to run suppressed? Do a lot of shooting courses?
Ive used A2 FHs as my go to muzzle device, but I will be running suppressed here shortly, and I use a Saker muzzle brake. Controllability is a lttle bit better, but when you have bipods on the end of your gun, you dont really need a muzzle brake for that purpose; I just like the idea of using a muzzle brake with a can as a "sacrificial baffle". Brakes create a concussive blast, especially indoors, which is not the best for other shooters if theyre in close proximity. |

Thanks guys. I just started a RECCE build on a whim cause I'm getting tired of SBRs (I know, crazy right??) and stumbled across a good deal on a 16" BCM upper with a FDE Daniel Defense RIS II rail. Thinking it's going to be pretty sweet but am having a hell of a time figuring out which scope to put on it. There are SO damn many low/medium magnification scopes out there.
