It should be ready for its first handloads soon. Here it is in its [almost] final form. I shaved a little weight off with the new Odin Works handguard and the Magpul fixed stock and am down to 8.4 pounds bare-assed naked. Soon a Geissele SSA-E trigger will arrive to replace the Rock River NM 2-stage currently installed. The barrel is a Lilja 1:8 of about 19-1/2 inches and I fully expect MOA performance or better even though I won't need that for slaughtering Central Texas piggies. I think I'll scope it with a Super Slam 3-15x50 duplex with illuminated dot...that should be perfect for an all-around dawn-to-dusk hunting rifle. I've selected 120-grain Ballistic Tips and will be loading my first trial loads in the next few days...I'm sure they'll work out fine.

For full darkness I have a couple of less powerful alternatives equipped with thermal scopes. I'm fully covered now, for sure!

Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
