Got my first shot at the range with my new Stealth 18". Where have you been all my life??
65 degrees, about a 5 mph wind. The setup: Larue Stealth 18" with 12" handguards Stag model 8R Lower (soon to be replaced with a LaRue lower with a Magpul PRS stock, HURRY MARK!) Leupold Mark AR 4-12 x 40mm scope (excellent scope with excellent eye relief) LT-104 Mount Harris bipod with LaRue mount Magpul magazine LaRue black index clips Federal XM193 55 Grain Hoppes Competition target at 100 yards The Rifle: 
The 5 shot group: 
First day out, a 5 shot .562 group!! This is has to be the most accurate AR-15 platform that I have ever shot. This group is with the last 5 rounds of the first magazine through the rifle (although there will be many, many more!). I have to commend Mark on building such an excellent product. I knew this rifle would be better than the Stag 8 that I have, but I didn't realize how much better it would be. The fit, finish and, most importantly the accuracy is second to none. I am happy I was able to do justice to such a fine piece of equipment. I have Hornady Tap 75 grain ammo on the way, and from what I understand the heavier bullet the better with the stealth. If this is true, I am looking forward to the one ragged hole!! The only bragging that I intend with this post is for the rifle. I wonder what an expert could do with it? Thanks again Mark!!! An excellent rifle that I would recommend to anyone. |

Thanks guys. May have to make another trip to the range tomorrow.
It was like a perfect storm. Mounted the Leupold, fired 3 shots and the only adjustment necessary was 6 clicks to the left. I have to say I am very happy with both the rifle and the scope. If you ever need a new one, the Mark AR is an excellent scope, bright and crystal clear. |
