Nice,the guys on here are putting me in debt, just got my lower yesterday. I think they should be ashamed of themselves.

Good thing you've realized that early on.  It's too late for me, I've already been polluted.   BUILD, BUY, BUILD MORE, OPTICS, AMMO, MAGS, MORE, MORE....God help you, get out while you can


PS the rifle looks great.

basic build cost  was right around the 730 mark for lower, internals, stock, grip, 2 mags, flat upper, bolt, charging handle, barrel, and rear sight, then add for the optics :)



oh and to the people who were asking about the next build... varminter 20 or 24" stainless barrel, bipod, massive scope

well as some of you asked, i finally was able to take some crappy pics of my shoot n c targets with the phone, let me know what you think needs to be done, keep in mind its not completely sighted in yet!

First group of 5... iron sights, rested 25 yds

http://images.geekazoids.net/target.jpg

second was standing, red dot, 25 yds, this one was actually 10 shots

http://images.geekazoids.net/target2.jpg

and third was standing iron sights, 25 yds as well

http://images.geekazoids.net/target3.jpg

let me know what needs to be done since i'm sure others are better at telling apart things

also for size reference, these are the 3" targets

Safe Shootin Everyone!
