Got a new blaster...
22" JP Supermatch /w large profile comp & bolt
JP Adjustable Gas block
JP Hand guard
Mega side charging upper
Fulton Armory chrome side charging carrier
LMT charging handle
Magpul PRS (obligatory Magpul accessory)
Panther grip
Timney 3lb trigger
Vortex PST 6-24x50
Took it out for the first time last weekend. The rifle ran like a top after the gas block got dialed in. Practically no recoil at all. I was expecting a lot more noise and overpressure from the JP brake, but the noise was very tolerable and almost no overpressure. I forgot my bags when I left for the range so I was shooting off the bipod and a rolled towel I had in the back of the truck :p
I've got a lot of practice to do...I hadn't been behind a rifle in almost 8 years and I could feel some of my fundamentals were rusty. Not awkward, but not a natural as it used to be. Was a good outing though. Was running factory Hornaday A-Max.
I'm looking to upgrade the Burris 1-piece scope mount. Looking for something with 20moa thatÂ’s detachable. Any recommendations?

nice rifle and group! check larue mounts, if anybody has one they would.

Nice looking rig...try a LaRue LT-158 (10 MOA) or LT-112 (20 MOA; watch eye relief). I have the LT-158 and LT-104.

Very nice, you have to be happy with that first outing. Welcome to the Horde.

Welcome. Nice balster for sure. If that's your rusty group, it will be great to see how it does when you get married to the gun. I personally like the LaRue LT-112.

Nice stick and group!
I'm using the same Vortex as you, using the JP JPFTSM-30/1 mount and very satisfied with it.

nice upper, sounds very similar to my JP Rifles LRP-07 side charger in 6.5 Creedmoor...
