Thanks- almost forgot the most important part... how it shoots. Got this group a few months back. The hit on the top edge was my sighter, adjusted and shot 5 more. Just over 5" @ 1000yds.

That's impressive daddy...1000yds no less. What load/projectiles were those? Did you coat your upper? I noticed no Aluminum in the white.

Thanks. 123 smk's, AA brass, CCI450, 28.6 IMR8208. This load was just a hair on the hot side so I've backed off to 28.3.
I haven't coated where I milled out for the BAD lever yet. If you look close you can see a small section in the white on the left side of the rifle. I intend to coat it and the barrel soon.

Conditions were as about perfect as you could ask for. 5-10 mph winds from 5 o'clock, warm & overcast. No mirage. All 6 rounds were shot within a minute or so.
The quality of the Zeiss glass sure helps a lot. This particular day I could even make out the hits. I have to do a little adjusting for reticule contrast at extended ranges but not much. Could be just my eye though. I pretty much make the adjustments with out thinking about it.
Good-looking gun, and even better-looking group!
Outstanding setup and shooting!
I now have a much better idea of how I'll be setting mine up.
