Building my 1st higher end precision rifle. I went way over my original budget but at this point I'm just saying the hell with it. So far what I have now is this:
MDT ACC chassis system
MDT Ckye pod
TT Diamond trigger
Area 419 muzzle break
PVA Prefit M24 barrel (6.5CM prefit for Origin action)
Action will be a Zermatt Arms Origin once my FFL opens back up after this virus BS.
Now I'm debating optic. I have a Athlon Ares BTR (mil) that i have been shooting on my cheapo TC Compass rifle. I actually like the scope so the thought was originally to upgrade to the Athlon Ares ETR. Then I was looking at the Vortex Razors for not much more money. I think I have come to the conclusion that I am more of a buy-one-cry-once type guy. The more research that I do into the manufacture and design of these optics the more i'm thinking of just going allot higher end. Right now I have my eye on the ZCO ZC527 and i will probably be able to afford one around tax time next year. It is literally more than 3x the cost of the Aries ETR.
So my thoughts now is move the Aries BTR over to the build for a year with some ARC rings and save up for the ZC527. My goal with this rifle is to get into PRS style shooting. Would like to know the opinions of others on this.
Thanks.
