I started this labor of love a long time ago, and finally have it to a point where I can share it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I have a range trip planned soon, I'll report back with how it shoots.
Thanks for a piece of your time, PIKE

I hope if did not forget anything, if I did I'll update my OP. Once again, thanks for stopping in guys. |

Thanks for all the kind words guys, not sure if the 1-4 is staying on it yet. I originally bought an MRO for this rifle, but once I got it all out together I changed my mind. A few different trips to the range will be the deciding factor I guess.

Did you have to modify the giessele rail to fit that rainier upper? Not at all, everything matched up perfect. |
| That mount looks good. I was wanting a Bobro mount for one of the guns we use as a store demo but it is out of stock. I really enjoy shooting irons so quick release is a must. May have to get something else and that one looks nice. Does it mark-up the upper receiver when you take it on and off? |

As long as you have it adjusted properly it should not chew up your finish. |

I didn't see the cartridge in the list. Is it safe to assume it is a 5.56? I see you are planning on a new light. I know the MFT is simply a navigational light but do you find it useful? These MFT lights are in my opinion worth their weight in gold. Anyone that has a high lumen light knows that high out put is a blessing and a curse at the same time. The MFT allows you to read , square away gear, and navigate with no problem. And with the solid white light it could operate as a steady burn back up lamp of you really needed it to. With how much room it takes up on a rail, I doubt I'll ever build another gun that doesn't have one on it. |

Took it to the range today. Shoots great, but it ejects brass to the next state and gases me pretty bad. I'm thinking an SLR adjustable is about to be ordered.
I zero'ed at 50 yards. Planning on a 50/200 set up. Going to stretch it out soon. But for now, I just wanted to get the irons, 1-4, and MRO all zero'ed. This is 10 shots with the Vortex 1-4 to get a feel for the gun. 
This picture is a quick 4 shot group with the MRO. I much prefer the 1-4 over the MRO, but the MRO does have its upsides. 
I really should have brought my suppressor cover. The mirage was being such a pain in the ass. I know for a fact this gun shoots better than I do. Hopefully future range trips will prove that to me. |

Damn man that optic is way forward. Can you shoot it like that? I would be sucking the charging handle to get a in the eye box with your setup. I have the same Vortex in a Larue spr 1.5 mount but it sit with the ocular lens about 1/2" aft of the charging handle. It keeps my lips off the CH.  Nice looking setup however. |
