It started about three years ago with the purchase of a new RRA stripped lower. Soon thereafter came the LPK, then the stock. I mounted a Velocity Arms dedicated 22 upper on it. It was a hoot to shoot but I wantd something different. I have been talking to a buddy that hunts Texas Yotes and West Texas Prarie Dogs. I have hunted all my life but these are two prey that I have yet to harvest. I have several AR's but felt something better was needed. I started looking for something that would meet my needs. I have found such an upper, made by RRA, their Varmint special with a bead blasted stainless Wilson Barrel. After mounting a 4.5 X 14 Burris Fullfield II and a few shots at the range with some Winchester .223, I am very happy with the results.
The first shot at 100 yards was a little high and to the left of the bull, after sighting in at 50 yards. A click on the windage and elevation turrets and I was where I wanted it. The rest was a bunch of fun. The bull in the top left corner was one where I was trying to hit all 4 corners of the orange pie sections and one in the bull. The best grouping was in the lower right bull. I even shot at the numbers "0". The last thing I installed was an RRA 2 stage trigger. It really helped me to shoot these groups.
Heres a few pictures of the gun itself.
