Got my new build out to the range today. Put 80 rounds through it. Ran perfectly, no malfunctions of any kind. A little overgassed with SA gas block wide opened, vented it 7 clicks and got a nice ejection pattern and softened a bit. Goups seemed to tighten up a bit through the session. Last 2 groups on paper were around the 45-55rnd mark and just at 1moa @100yds. After that I started banging the steel at the back of the range at ~225yrds. No problem consistantly hitting the 8" plate 4 or 5 out of 5 shots. Next time I'll get some groups at 200yds on paper. Also first time getting behind the Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 and it is awesome. Rifle shoots very soft, no problem seeing splash even at high mag. Reticle barely leaves target. The rifle has more in it. I'm not in love with the Timney Calvine Elite. Had it on the shelf from another build I didn't like it in and thought I would try it again. Swapping a TriggerTech in it. I was shooting Hornady 108gr Match. I'm hoping to eventually stretch it's legs.
