The Franken rifle is an AR that I cobbled together with info I gleaned from 6.5 Grendel.com , even had a gentlemen send me a lapping tool that I used and promptly returned. Many thanks to that fine gentleman. Its got a Satern barrel from Brownells with matching bolt, don't tell anyone , Satern is a dirty word here, 5R , 24" barrel. PSA blemished upper and lower, M4 adjustable stock, that I hate because it pulls my beard, trigger that I reworked myself. Its heavy , but dang it shoots good.
The Ruger is , well its a Ruger. I've probably spent enough on components over the last 10 years to have screwed a really good barrel onto it by now. I really don't need it to shoot light bullets, I shoot deer. Paper is just an aside. Fun to do , but doesn't really go well with mashed potatoes. I shoot more paper than deer. But , I never have to worry about whats for supper. Been over it with a fine tooth comb. I've tried several 100 gr bullets, Speer , Sierra, 115-120 grain Hornady, Nosler, Sierra, Berger, I guess everyone needs one nemesis, I think this Ruger is my nemesis. Looking at GB they're pretty pricey. Want it ? Thing is I don't know what I'd replace it with. Nothing really turns my crank at the moment. I really like the rifle, just wish it'd shoot. But then I have this Franken rifle that shoots pretty good.
The load consists of AR Comp, CCI 450, Hornady brass, 120 Sierra Match Kings .
