I need to get some time and get the baby zeroed and run it out and see what she'll do.

Rifle is definitely a pig but I don't plan on having to hump this thing.

Re: Finally got a precision AR together

Truly professional build pal....really nice to see a rifle that hasn't had any corners cut or pennies pinched. Buy once, cry once:)

Now on another note, why go with a 20" barrel....personally I can't think of a single thing that a 20" 5.56 barrel can do that either a 18", or 16" 5.56 barrel can't do. The MV difference b/t my Recce and SPR is less than 100fps, and that 100fps doesn't even translate into even the smallest gain I've noticed until I get well past 600-700yds, where the 18" SPR bucks the wind slightly better.

Congrats!

thanks man,

hopefully I'll get to shoot this weekend and see what these guys will do.

lol wait til you get a 308 AR. </div></div>

I had one and got rid of it for that reason. My Crusader with the OPS3rd is probably close to 15lbs loaded
 
Re: Finally got a precision AR together

Very nice build. If your SAM-R shoots anything like the ones I've had, you will not be disappointed. What I liked most about them was that they held their accuracy and point of impact pretty darned well, even when smoking hot.

If I remember right, I shot this group with a SAM-R build.

It was the end of the day and my last 20 rounds. The barrel was already hot and I ran the last 20 rounds in under a minute. The target circle is 1" in diameter. I threw a few out. I was having a hard time with the 10X scope, but you get the idea. This was shot with a smoking hot barrel at 100 yards.
 
Re: Finally got a precision AR together

Hats off to you sir, very nice looking builds. What twist rate did you go with, 1:7 ...1:8? Id like for a precision upper to be my next serious buy. Haven't settled on whether I would like to stay in the the 223wylde/556 or move on to a new caliber. Running a fairly accurate rock river chomemoly 16" . I look forward to hearing what accuracy you're able to get out of that build.
