I had zero issues with my Argos. Tracked and held zero. Nice looking rifle, good luck!

Very nice. I have nearly same setup except the scope and handguard. They didn't have the S-one as an option when I got mine so I got the "enhanced". The S-one looks like it would feel better in my hands as it is a narrower profile.

Congradulations, welcome,...looking forward to range report.
If you like Athlon scopes watch cameralandny.com. I just picked up a 2.5-15x44 midas for 250.00 shipped. And the 4.5-27× 44 midas earlier in the year for 350.

Nice! I really like the black and tan look... Have you considered a 20 MOA mount for your scope? I am trying to figure out the best way to go for shooting out to 800 yards...

Ended up taking the riser off as it added too much weight and once I switched to the LT204 mount, the plain stock seemed to be the right height. Going to finally shoot it Saturday, as life has been too hectic recently.

I agree with FRB how do you like the bipod? I’m considering getting one. If Magpul would make it quick detach feet and and allow to quickly swap from mlok to ARMS to Picatinny mount I would of already ordered one.

I like the swivel and tilt feature on it, the legs lock in place and feels pretty solid.
Plan on shooting it tomorrow, that will tell me how much I will like it.

Shot the rifle over the weekend, shoots quite well, probably going to be my hunting rifle from now on, the .308 will get some down time.
Shooting off a bipod I was able to group 1.5" at 95 yards with Hornady American Gunner and 1" with Hornady Black ELD, the magpul bipod had some rock back and forth but as long as I stayed leaned forward on it then it was fine. I may sell it for a harris bipod as so far I think I prefer them more.

Thank you for the feedback on the bipod.
