Varget is always super accurate just a little slow sometimes. All depends on your pressure signs. Never really messed with other powder for 223. I've got this AA2520 but I'm not a fan. I've heard the VIht powders are great and XBR. I was at 2620 in my 15.1 Bartlein with that 75 load. |

Tac is cheap and available in bulk. Thinking of ditching the noveske rail. I like sturdier feeling rails. Also used to my CQBR. Whats the cons of the pri tube? I wouldnt mind tucking my sandman about an inch. |

I suppose a PRI rifle tube would look silly with a 14" barrel and no aem5? I'm exploring rail options.

Thanks gents. I've known all along NF glass is my favorite so it didn't take for @Eyekahn to convince me. I ditched the Mk6 for the NX8 and I picked up a 4-16x ATACR for the SR-25EC. Still got the Mk8 but I hope it sells ASAP.
@rgb, I went with the A496 (1.50", 0 MOA) for the mini, and A497 (1.50", 0 MOA) for the SR-25. Seems a little weird not using something with 19 or 20 MOA built in but like Clay said, these scopes have a lot of adjustment built in. |

Have a bunch of parts coming in for a mini recce... I’m sure it’ll look a lot like u/ RTUTAH’s... because his has given me all the feels since he put it together.
Going to run a 11.3” wilson, KAC medium ff RAS, and a NXS 2.5-10x24 in badger rings. Will probably end up piggybacking a Docter in a Wilcox mount if my boy will come up off his mount. Torn as to which of two cans I have in jail right now I will run on it... aac m4-2000 or RC2. |
