Finished up the SPR build today. 16" 1:7 WOA barrel is shooting just under 1" @ 100 using 69gr SMKs (24.5gr TAC gives 2740 fps). Hoped for 0.5MOA, but I'll take it.
Threw in a picture of its big brother.

Nice setup! I'll be glad when I have the scratch to purchase a can for my own rifle.

It's my SAS 30 cal that I throw on everything. I have 6 QD mounts for it now... Need to man up and pick up another suppressor from Tim.

Sub MOA is sub MOA. Hard to argue with that from an AR.

How much does the big brother weigh? Looks great by the way!

Re: SPR Build Done
Here are two others that have worked for me:
69gr SMK
24.0gr H335
Rem 7 1/2 BR primer
LC Brass
or
69gr SMK
25.0gr Varget
Rem 7 1/2 BR primer
LC Brass
Both have been sub MOA for me with the H335 load performing slightly better than the Varget.

Thanks for all the help and input (why I love this site)!

Re: SPR Build Done
I've had some good luck with
23.5gr H335
68gr Hornady HBPT Match
Rem 7 1/2 BR primer
And R-P brass actually (upgrading the brass soon)
Trying the varget out now

Re: SPR Build Done
Nice looker. How do you like the bipod though??? I've had a few and somehow always revert back to the Harris. Although it does have its quirks. I've seen yours around but haven't seen any reviews. It appears to have a much wider and lower center of gravity. How do you think it compares?

Re: SPR Build Done
Great bipod but pricey. There are about a 1000 reviews of the Atlas in the equipment forum if you do a search.

Re: SPR Build Done
The only "QD" SAS model I have ever seen is the type where they offer a brake or flash hider with threading at the back/end shoulder near the barrel. I have this type. As for accuracy, as long as I hand tighten it the same way, the POI shift is predictable and what I am generally zero'd at anyway. No issues with threading on any of the guns I have attached it to. I do check with a straight rod on the first mount up to avoid a potential baffle strike. Only gripe I have is after a long string and the can heats up, you may have to retighten. This can lead to BIG issues with it freezing on the mount if you don't use breach plug grease or similar on the threading.

Re: SPR Build Done
Towards the end of this video he shows the what I guess would be the new true QD model.
Reason I asked about the thread was I had read some post about how the threads were cut incorrectly. They were a few years back, and you know how things spread 3rd or 4th hand on the internet. Figured if there was still problems, then a guy with 6 mounts would have seen them.
Thanks for the info.

Re: SPR Build Done
No issues with any of mine and I probably have as much invested in mounts as I do the suppressor... Time for another can.

Re: SPR Build Done
Tried the switch from 69gr SMK's to 69gr Noslers. Have to say it tightened up the groups.
