I put one together with a 16” Wilson Combat fluted barrel. Waiting on a Wilson combat adjustable gas block with a 13.25” gas tube to finish shooting for accuracy. Shot this at a club practice match at 600 yards. Nothing impressive with my hand loads that were shooting near MOA at 100 yards. Rifle shot a 6-8” group with FGMM factory loads with 140 grain SMKs.
I wanted this rifle to be my fall hunting rig is Westeren Washington Forrest land I hunt in. If I hunt eastern Washington, I’ll use a heavier 20” barreled 6.5 creedmoor to .30hate to do the job on deer. In the tight terrain in the Forrest area, taking my bolt gun feels like putting with my driver. Different tools for different rules.
I'm currently using a 16" 308 Wilson combat fluted ranger barrel with the JPnwilent buffer and 3 tungsten weights. Whole rifle with rugged razor and swfa 1-6 is around 9 pounds and very handy.
I tried running DA Nomad L on that rig and it was overgassed pretty bad.
Love the weight on the rig but my never happy critic wants to try a 16" rifle gas and maybe move to 6.5 to gain some range.
I'm digging the handy rifle.
I used to run a 20" 6.5 barrel with a 4-16 Atacr. Gun was more capable, but it never left the safe as I strongly prefer compact schlepable rigs.
