My payment (sent by USPS priority mail) took 8 days to travel 1100 miles to its destination, but arrive it did. The selling FFL had my prize boxed up and on its way to me by 11AM that day (amazing!) and I picked it up at my LGS this morning. Well the description of “LNIB” certainly wasn’t deceptive; this thing is clean as a whistle and not an errant mark anywhere. Ok, one corner of the adhesive barrel temperature strip is lifted up ever so slightly, so there’s that disappointment. Otherwise, the rifle is brand-new. I took off the monopod and installed the bag rider instead, and mounted the Sightron S6 5-30x in Burris Zee rings. I spun the Hellfire muzzle brake on and heard a collective groan from the range buddies who will be shooting next to me at the range. I had a Harris bipod around so that found its way on there. Done for now but I think I’ll probably replace the pistol grip with something more vertical than the A2 grip that’s on there.
The Triggertech trigger is breaking at a pound and a half and is oh so crisp with a teeny-weeny bit of overtravel. I’m very glad this takes AICS magazines as I have a pile from my AR-10. I have a small assortment of factory loads to try out and am not yet set up to reload for 6mmCM so I have to take that on. Snow storm’s on its way tomorrow afternoon so this new rig will have to wait a little bit to get sighted in, bummer. Man, this is nice. Obviously there are nicer precision rifles out there but I feel like I got a LOT of value for $1700. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Oh, does anyone know how to tell what receiver this is? I didn’t take the barreled action out of the chassis to see if there are any identifying maker’s marks but there’s nothing up top other than the MPA stuff and the serial #.
Thanks!
