Range report in the future? 
How do you like that muzzle device...looks like a PWS FSC556? |
The barrel is a Noveske 18" SPR barrel. 1:7 twist with their take on the Wylde chamber - I think they call it a Mod 0 chamber. She shoots like a champ, though the mitigating factor is the optics. With a 15x scope and the right load, she will bang out sub 1/4 MOA all day long. The current optics are only 2.5-8x with a standard mil-dot reticle. Small targets have a tendency to disapear behind the crosshairs. No biggie, as this was intended to be a close to mid-range, "minute-of-dude" rifle. Also going to look in to some anti-walk pins as mine have started to get a little squirrely with hotter loads.
Good eye on the comp. It's the PWS FSC556 variant designed to run a Gemtech or KAC suppressor on a HALO mount. The things are awesome. You seriously have to shoot it to believe it.

Nobody uses them anymore. They're just not cool looking. That's why broke dick college kids like myself can find a used one complete with buffer tube and spring for $40.
I dig a fixed stock on target rifles because the LOP/cheek weld remains constant and the old school sling attachment on the underside of the butt works as a decent palm hook when shooting from a rest.
