I got the itch to have a large frame AR built so I scratched it. It's the Mega Nickle Boron upper/lower with a Lilja 24" heavy .260 Remington barrel and a Geissele SSA trigger. The scope is a Falcon 4-14X44. No range report yet. Hopefully I'll get it out this weekend.

Why, I ask, did you have to build what I am dreaming? Did you sneak in my head and steal my dreams!?!?!?!? *tinfoil*

I plan on shooting the 140g amax or similar bullets. I am a paper puncher only, I don't hunt. The first time I will have a chance to break it in will be Sunday or Monday. If I get enough time to break it in and get some groups I'll report back with speeds and spreads.

I tried the 142 smk with h4350 and the pressure was way high. if the 140s dont work, give the 123 amaxes a try. thats what im using now
