12" Monster or 12" Faxon? Budget hunting barrel build - heartburn - 10-11-2022

First range visit went pretty well, function check went well, everything worked as it should and as expected. I don't really have any accuracy updates as I was just trying to get scope zero'd and make sure everything functioned. The bootleg Inc BCG worked great, everything ran great suppressed. Rifle is comfortable to shoot, and easy to handle. Will continue to update as I get more range time and hopefully some accuracy reports next time. Also received reloading dies so hopefully get some handloads together and start doing some load testing. Thanks for the suggestions and the help with making the barrel choice, I feel confident that the direction was the right way to go and will end up with a great reliable hunting rifle.

I have some video of it where all I can see is the gas going out to the side at 3 o’clock when set to the fully-suppressed position on the 12” with Ultra 7 TBAC can.

I haven’t noticed any gas to the face shooting the Ultra 5.

Thanks LRRP, I might have to pick one up and give it a try.
