Have Blue...Is this the Leupold Mark AR 3-9?If so how do you like it?
|

Can I play in this thread with my virtual recce/recon?
This is my idea of a recon, constructed in the Gunstruction app. Since the type is open to interpretation, I take it to be an M4 built for the occasional precision shot instead of vice-versa. Basically the kind of rifle you'd use in a rural combat scenario but could use to clear the barn of zombies if you had to. I have a BCM 16" SS410 upper that I'll be building into something like this over the next couple years. Going to shoot out my two current guns first though (famous last words). Here's a link to it in the GS app or there are pictures below: BCM Recon (16" SS410 mid-length) ...and with some cool Magpul covers and a Harris for range fun... I know most like a >11" rail, but I like that length as it covers the gas block and I don't hold the gun very far out on the grip ala Magpul style. GS has it at just under 9lbs without the bipod. Open to thoughts if anyone has any. |

Its a PEQ-4 mount with a bolt washer and lock washer from the motorpool bolt bin holdong it to the bipod. Its so 45b McGuyver that i have used it since 2008 on my rigs haha. You could get a QD PEQ-4 mount if u want.

THX guys! I just went back over it with more dark OD and regular green to tone down the tan highlights (pics are make it look lighter than in real life). I usually do the paint, then wait, then go back and do detail work. I used stencils of plants from JoAnn Fabricks. like $6 for two plastic sheets. no more live plants to fight with!
I'm really really pleased with this one. I kept the contrasting colors light :). Oh yeah, I also condensed my range car to the flip cap (Finally). |

Wow, that is one nice setup, even if it is more SPR-ish, IMO.
What's it weigh? |
|

Yeah i want a 1-4 to get it back to proper RECCE style in the future. Leupy mark AR 1-4 MOD 1 or a PST 1-4. Just gotta save up. I call it SPRECCE lol.
It is about 8.5lbs on the bathroom scale. Light for what it has on it.

Great looking weapon! Does anyone besides me think a 4-10X ACOG would be awesome? I know they make a variable power now - has anyone tried it? I am hoping this next year to finally buy an ACOG.

I threw 150rnds today. 1-500m. I was pissing off clay birds all the way out. I tried some of that Israeli 55gr 5.56 and its about 2moa for me
Great for cheap ammo. The 77gr stuff is much better for the first time go on the clays tho. I like to know what both do. Zero wind today, maybe 3clicks on my windage max all day.i was there in the prone for hours :). I swapped out to a springco blue and opened the SLR gas block out a click: had some weak chambering signs. Runs great! Im calling it SPRECCE now lol. what a bastard child with a 3-9x. I was having issues before with zero shift, but after i redid the GB and scope position it seems to have stopped. 5-shot group was 1moa @100m dead center. Very happy with it. It's "finished". |
