Just got back from the range, only got to let 5 fly, but it shoots very nice, trigger was much more sensitive then I was expecting but I'll just have to deal with it lol
1st shot got away from me but the rest settled right in
It will be getting painted pretty soon by a buddy of mine who does outstanding work
I also added the range brass catcher from Catch Your Brass, easy setup, just need to be sure that the deflection plate is positioned correctly or you will experience ejection problems, other than that it works great
I have no idea what scope I will upgrade to but I'll be looking for a really nice one for sure, the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 SFP MRAD is high on my list, my Christmas present to me

Very nice build. I really like the stock you picked. Let us know how it shoots.

VERY Nice!

Looking pretty nice indeed!
you just got her in? I have the same upper coming but no Lilja barrel... ups claims it'll be here by september 6th.
i also have a hankering for the PRS stock.
since it will share a lower with the Beowulf for now i will wait.
but i think it wont be long before i end up getting a new lower unit for the Grendel and can then aquire a PRS stock... then start saving for the glass.

You've done your due diligent putting a very nice rifle together, that bull barrel with the target crown is boss, now how does it shoot?

Nice blaster. What scopes are you looking at? I think a Viper PST would be great for this. Camera Land just posted some pretty sweet deals on unmounted returns, if you check the buy sell trade thread.

Strong work, Tech09. It's good to know that you have friends close by that can help you with a paint job, can not wait to see the finished project. Keep us posted on the break in process. When might that continue and how long does it take? It sure looks like it's paying off so far.
