My friend has a build with a Noveske 12.5 barrel. This is the AB numbers I ran off his velocity of 2369 fps with eld-m’s.
Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance 6mm arc write up and review
- Thread starter JohnDeereGuy1996

For comparison to a 12.5in 6arc, here is my SR-15 14.5in with Black Hills 77gr OTM at 2607fps.
Great info! I should have said out to 500y (about as far as I want to shoot a 556). Certainly better long range performance with the ARC, but I don't love the 1 MIL of drop from 800 to 850.
I will say that the idea behind my 14.7" is to compromise somewhere between the 11.5" and 18" which I think it will do well (and the 14.7" is probably what I'll end up keeping if I can get the lighter bullets to a speed to help me hold coyote fur to 300y)

The plan is to put a ZCO 420 on the 20 inch stratomatch and ZCO 210 on 14.5, but that’ll take a bit to save up cause I decided to venture into the custom 2011 game 
. In the meantime I’ll vulture optics off my ar10s.

finally got the gfr scoped properly to a more fitting optic and got it zeroed. Rifle hadn’t been shot since doing this review. Added the hux 6k as well and shot two 5 shot groups back to back. These weren’t cherry picked and were the only two I shot. Used 108 grn eld match. Maybe it’s just me but for a chrome lined barrel that’s pretty damn good to me.
Impressive rifle. I will eventually try one of these out in 16 inch form if they continue to have good feedback. The main thing I am concerned about is the bolt life over the long run. @JohnDeereGuy1996 thanks for the info. How many rounds do you have on it now?
I’m only a little over 100 or so. Haven’t got to shoot much lately unfortunately.
Also these new rifles come with no magazine and the geissele mags are unobtanium now. So I have a 3k rifle with no magazine. Real nice geissele.
These work in the Geissele rifle just fine if you are okay with the looks.
If a maritime reconnaissance is successful no shots are fired, so no magazine = no big deal.

These (and 15rds) were briefly in stock yesterday at almost reasonable prices.
