Long range hunter - Lightsabr2 - 05-01-2017

This is the rifle I'm fine tuning. I have a 2nd upper in .223 wylde for more of a combat training rifle, but this one will have the long legs. I built the whole thing (my first AR) from parts purchased throughout my last deployment. I took a long leap on a unique glass option with the Burris Eliminator III. I'll post results and range reports as they happen.

Very nice, what barrel/bolt did you use? From your picture it looks like a 20" barrel, is that correct?

It's the 18" made for Brownells by Satern. I decided to trade a little muzzle velocity for weight savings. It shipped with a bolt included.

I'm excited to read your range report.

Well, I wrote up all my notes. It's dry info, but just as I'm learning the rifle, I'm figuring out how in-depth and what kind of info to record at the range. Amateur hour over here.
