Wanna see something stupid?! :D

Thanks Tony, you started it....lol
I picked up that little gem of a scope Saturday. It's a Leupold Mk AR Mod 1, a 3-9x40 mil/mil, and it was only $350. I put it in a QD style, one throw lever ADM mount, in order to swap it out with the EOTech. Beside the scope is a Burris Fastfire red dot for the up close stuff.

I'm running a 208gr A-Max subsonic load that's at 1040 fps, and a supersonic load of 110gr V-Max at about 2140. The subs are touching at 25 yards and grouping just under a minute at 50 yds. I can effectively take them out to 200 yards with 6.5 mils of come-up. After that, I'm out of adjustment.
I didn't do any real accuracy testing as the ammo I'm using is leftovers from my original lot. With any of my CQB related ammo, it's not loaded with precision in mind, no brass prep, nor would I ever consider it to be even remotely match grade. It'll be interesting to see what can be done with some match 110s. According to the numbers, I should be able to effectively take them out to 600yds easy.

Looks good to me. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean much... especially since I SBR just about everything I own.

Nice rig there ewoaf! I've got a build I would like to do soon of a similar style. A shorty precision rig in 300 blk but leaner than what you've got there. What are some of the details on the rifle?

Ha, I'm right with you! "You know what this rifle needs? A shorter barrel!"

 

[sbaird4000]

I agree +1

 

[ewoaf]

It's a Paladin machine Bbl assembly with their adjustable gas block. It was around 10.5 but I chopped it down. It's a 7 twist. The bolt is a BCM. A Snipershide lower with DD lower parts. If I was intending to build a real BLK precision rig, I'd go with at least a 14" Bbl.

3-9x40 is maybe a little aggressive for a short range rifle but other than that nice set up

 

[McCrazy]

Nice SBR there Ewo, looks like fun.

 

[Blazin]

Maybe I missed it, is it a 300 Blackout?

 

[ewoaf]

Yup. 208 Amax.

 

[lonestar1845]

Awesome. I've been kicking around the idea of a .300BLK SPR in a 16" just because I'm curious and I have the parts lying around...

 

[Casey Simpson]

This gun shoots better than that one. Its quieter too. And if I'm shooting it, its lethal.

 

[jsnspck]

Personally, I would have gone with a 4-16 x scope!

Ya but his has a flashlight so he can shoot in the dark.

 

[ewoaf]

Not any more, I took it off. It's painted now.

How do you like the Leupold. Thinking about picking one up. Cabela's has the 3-9x40 mil dot or the 1.5-4x20 SPR for $349 with the free Leupold mount, I have been tempted to pick one up.

 

[righttobeararms8]

Looks pretty sweet to me

 

[ewoaf]

I did a review on it in the optics board if you can find it. It's great for the money.
