Edwin gets it done. He deserves a lot of applause for what he pieces together. Always on the spot, and an inspiration for many. Same for Mr Trident. Great stuff, although I'd love nothing more than to see his pics with a 20-round Pmag...lol)
Speaking on behalf of the financially strapped, I must say that a good BCM upper, Gieselle trigger, and low power variable is about as slick a RECCE set up as one can get. Beyond those components the rest is gravy. The Leupold 1.5-5 MR/T is by far my favorite and most used scope. For some reason I just really dig it. The TA11 and 33 are also incredible choices....but for a 223 precision upper....I have a hard time signing onto anything but the Leupy MR/T. Beyond 4.5X magnification I just can't justify it for the 5.56 cartridge. I have no issues tapping any target I intend to hit out to 500 yards. The turrets work as advertised. Granted most if not all of my shooting is below 200 yards. My 308 Browning X-Bolt deer rifle wears a Leupold VX3 2.5-8 B&C reticle. That said...I've never shot a deer outside of 100 yards! Point being...for a RECCE....any (quality) low power variable will do. I'm also a huge fan of the TR24. Bottom line - get what you want.....but use Edwin and Trident as a benchmark for quality!

Hokie, Trident, I sure appreciate those generous comments.
Even more, I appreciate the numerous constructive discussions I've had with you both. Hokie is right, a quality low power variable is probably ideal for a Recce. I'm even looking at upgrading the TA11C on my 16" Krieger. The combination of my older eyes and the Kreiger's accuracy warrants more magnification than the superb 3.5X it now has in the ACOG. So, waiting on the mount, I may try the USO 1.8-10X37 in a Nightforce Uni-Mount, with the RMR 4 MOA or a T-1 as an offset optical back-up. Use with the PVS-22 is mandatory, I may even ditch the iron sights since a back up RDS will be fitted. Hokie isn't a fan of the back-up RDS, but I wasn't either at first. My other alternative is to return the TA55A to the Recon, it's an effective combinaion that has served me well in the past. I also don't really need the RMR/T-1 backup, as BAC works well for me with it. Next, Hokie will accuse me of doing the same thing he has done, trying all the alternatives and then returning to what works! LOL

Didnt see many Recces with FSBs...is that because of the optics typically used on a Recce? Is there such a thing as a Recce Dissy?

The combo of the Krieger SS, high powered USO glass and OPs suppressor (I happen to know that Edwin likes to be sneaky and keep his stash of mk262 loaded in OD mags  ) makes sub moa quite the understatement.
Now with that said to me that unbelievable recce above is more than I actually want or could use in my definition of what these guns should be or roles they should fill.....we skirt a fine line when tapping the high end of precision in these builds and often blur the lines between a recce/recon and its big brother the SPR/MK 12/18" SS gun in terms of weight and overall mobility...all the while never being as accurate as a true match 18" SS barrel will be. That is essentially imho the debate Crane and the operators who would use these ultimately in the field had when dropping the Seal Recon Rifle or Recce and adopting the SPR MK 12 gun. I love this thread because its totally fantasyland in a good way.....Just envisioning what your "Seal Recon Rifle" would be is a nice thought to have and often find myself going to bed thinking about that type of stuff in all seriousness, I mean that name alone will give you the Obama tingle

I like having the option of having a FSB, but my worry is that when I change the 1-4x down it will be in by field of vision. Is this a problem, and a reason you dont see FSBs on Recces? |

Its not so much a problem as it is an annoyance....If you are running say a 10x on max power, you will not notice it so much....however if you are using say a 1-4x at any magnification its quite annoying and it tends to clutter up your sight picture thus making targets harder to acquire. So you can run glass with a fsp and once you reach a high enough magnification you tend to not notice it but imho it has no inherit benefits to run a fsp in this config. and so it really should not be present.

I have not had the time to get your thoughts on the Atlas bipod and kinda thought you might already have it considering you own that laser beam side folding .308 bolt that I personally think deserves the Atlas. Between the BRM-s w. ADM BP or the GG&G heavy duty bipod, which do you favor more for bench work? I already know that GG&G is a bad mofo in the wilderness and on non typical shooting surfaces but I wonder if its as good of a bench bipod as the harris. |

I haven't even seen an Atlas yet, but reports are pretty positive. For bench shooting it's hard to beat the Harris with pod-loc. My GG&G is the standard, I actually have both the swivel and the non-swivel. One bipod I am considering is the Sinclai tactical, it's heavy, tough, and has the ability to increase the angle of spread between the legs (wider) whic sets it lower and is very stable. It, in it's stock form, does require some mods for use. |

Good info pal, thanks......that sinclair is pretty trick but its the same price as the Atlas minus the ARMs mount for the Atlas and although I just now looked at the sinclair I have been doing my research over the last month on the Atlas and new most current Version 8's. Its just such a clean unit that seems to be extremely well built and has a fantastic ability to shoot from the bench with. A pal on TOS who was helping me with this Atlas over the last several weeks said its the only bipod he had ever seen that had a shot at being better of the bench than a front rest. That was an impressive statement and I believe he is a very credible and knowledgeable dude. link to bipod edwin is talking about...... Sinclair Tactical Bipod |

Damn that is absolutely nasty.....What an awesome match up between your laser beam and his.
It appears that the sinclair and atlas could tit for tat battle it out cause you can get a awesome "load" using these atlas pods and that Is huge for me with respect to shooting from the bench....being able to load a bipod up and then just ease down the buttsock in the bag in the rear without any slop then coming from the bipod while on target is awesome. The atlas does a similar thing in terms of basing out and lower the overall height of the weapon....

Nice barrel, nice shooting and nice video If you could only pick either the SPR or the Recce barrel you guys make....which would it be? I understand if that is a loaded question. I personally can not think about a Recon/recce without then thinking about a SPR and vice versa.

I personally can not think about a Recon/recce without then thinking about a SPR and vice versa.I have a personal preference for the 18" SPR rifle for two reasons: 1.) it comes with a rifle length FSB: I like iron sights., and 2.) It handles a little better for me, similar, but not exact, to shooting a 30" shotgun barrel when comparing it to a 22" shotgun barrel. Accuracy is the same between the two. My mind is with the 18" Terebratus SPR. My personal upper is an 18" Terebratus SPR flattop, with a Model 1 Sales solid free float tube, windage adjustable A2 FSB (set to mechanical zero with a Colt carry handle), a N.M. A1 flash hider...these work the best. Upper receiver, bolt carrier, bolt, firing pin, and other associated guts are made by the prime contractors to FN, SC for its M16 rifle series. We have our share of accurazing methods employed in building an upper, and this upper has them all. She is not the fanciest one around, but she shoots, and shoots well. You don't need fancy or expensive parts to make a good shooting upper. You need high quality parts and the three B's: barrel, bullet, brass...in that order.....and you must have someone how knows how to put it together, and will prove how well it shot. When you find someone like that, have them build your upper. |

Great info pal, and I agree begrudgingly about preferring the SPR over the Recon/recce...That said, the recon is just such a world beater on paper yet it rarely translates to any real world felt performance gains over the SPR. I have seen quite a few reports on Superior Barrels and all seem to have reported excellent results and the stuff you guys do with the videos and I saw some great pics side by side of what your recon barrel did at 500m on some steel. Nice to see you and your barrel knowledge in this thread as I am sure I can learn quite a bit reading your posts as others can as well.

Does it feel like it adds much weight to the rifle? Any chance you have a pic with the legs in the up position? What I really like about that style is it should be very light and low profile making it practical to always leave on the weapon. It's wide stance should also make it very stable. Only things holding me back is price and I'm not crazy about the lack of swivel adjustment |

So I'm joining the club. Pick up a pre-ban lower and started buying stuff. Looking for BUIS suggestions and sling mount suggestions. I was thinking ok the KAC micro and a ASAP plate, to keep the sling the same weapon to weapon.

I run a variant (folding or fixed) of the Troy on every gun I own and really like the consistency. Are you planning a light weight build or one that won't have a lot of weight out front (i.e. a bipod)? I don't like single points on front heavy guns. Has Magpul released their sling point rail accessory yet? Pic Place Holder... off to find food for the thread. |

I plan on using an bipod, but I doubt I will run it all the time. I run fixed front sights on everything else, this is my first perscion/ long rail build. For my build I picked up a Rifle length URX with a flip up sight, so I'm only Looking for a rear buis. Want something that will fit under a scope when I pick one out.
The KAC rail has attachment points for sling swivels but I'm open to any suggestions. |

I really like the kac micro's and the front micro is flat out unbeatable imho.....between the size and the elevation wheel as well as the overall aesthetics make it a clear winner in my book.

Looks great and seems to put the sight picture right about where the lt 724 does. I kinda miss using a ubr on my current recon build, they will spoil you for sure. |

I think, from looking at your pics, it might be a bit lower than the LT. The biggest plus for me was keeping the T1 upright. |

In all seriousness that is about as textbook of a recce as you can find....much truer to the definition than mine and I think I will not be content til I bite the bullet and get the bit more accurate mrp SS 16" just to have it to the strictest definition of a recce/recon.
How is the accuracy with the noveske recce 16" and kac TT? That TT is such a nice touch. Heck, lets just hear all the specs while you are at it as I am sure others will come around and ask too. |

Accuracy has been superb, but to tell the truth, I feel like I need more scope to truly stretch its legs...

Does it give you a better grip or is it mostly for the aesthetics? And on a side note what magnification/reticule is that Nightforce? Thanks in advance! Nathan *Edit - Screwed up the quote  *
