ALG or MI. ALG does not have any rails on it, but it does include a couple rail sections i believe. MI has a full top rail and then a couple rail sections, depending on keymod/mlok

Troy or heck the UTG pro (made in USA ) rails are nice for the $
MI is also a nice rail mostly it depends on your style. |

Is that one of the older Daniel Defense rails? Yes. the original MK 4 or something like that. Always been a fan of the design, I've got MRPs for true continuous upper rails. Here she is sporting a TA55. Na my Mod1"ish" with, you guessed it, a DD rail and Douglas barrel. I am also a huge fan of Mark's rails. |

I didn't think that was possible with that ammo. Nice. I know right! It actually performed slightly better than the 69gr FGMM .454moa was obviously my smallest of the day and maybe a fluke, but all the other groups were sub moa as well... No complaints here As for the scope... I like it! Nice, bright, crisp glass even in the gloomy foggy weather. Can't really say much else, and I didn't really put it through its paces (at only 100yds) or do any box testing in short time I had yesterday... Took a 2 1/2 foot drop onto the concrete like a champ and didn't lose zero |

View Quote .223 Wylde 1-8 twist I'll hopefully be heading out again New Year's weekend... See if it performs the same, or if it was just all the stars aligning voodoo that happened last saturday. By all accounts XM855 is NOT supposed to be THAT accurate, even at only 100 yards. Maybe I'll have a SSA-E trigger by then as well Gonna bring out more of the XM855, and pick up some XM193, MK262 (SSA clone loads), and some 75gr TAP... See how that stuff performs @ 100 yards. It'll be a lil while before I get to a longer range |
