bm fluted 24" extra heavy barrel, and floated hg. keyhole upper, bm bolt and carrier, rock river lower, 2 stage rr trigger, dpms lpk, falcon ergo grip, burris xtr 3-12x50 scope with leupold qd rings.

Very nice.

Is that forearm, fore end, drilled and tapped for that bipod?

its drilled and tapped, but the bipod mounts to a sling swivel, so it can be quickly removed if needed.

CAR-15,
looks nice.

Had a chance to shoot it yet? Planning on hand loads or commercial?

Are you happy with how far back the scope is?

For the stock, on this type of rifle I really like the Magpul PRS ($210). I don't like coming out and telling people to get the most expensive option for them, but this stock is really a great addition to a precision AR. I have been installing them on AR-15s, AR-10s, FALs, and PTRs and they really are great. I can close my eyes, go prone, settle in, open my eyes and the scope is right where I want it.

Where's the cup holder?

[BadShot]

I'll second the recommendation on the PRS .. that would be a really nice finishing touch to a really good looking AR.

Question though.. why no break or FS?

[car-15]

ar will, got it at sportsmans warehouse.

aloharover, for the most part I run my own reloads on varmints, the magpul was actually the stock I had in mind, still not sure though, and I have not been able to find one in stock anywhere, the scope is perfect, when I put my cheek on the stock it is a perfect sight picture.

ssf467, how do optics, and a bipod on a varmint rifle make it to much?

BadShot, it has a target crown on the barrel, and I did not want to turn down the barrel and run a chance of screwing it up, and the p-dogs dont shoot back, so I dont care about a little muzzle flash.[Beer]

Very nice varmit rifle.[Beer]
I wanted to use the varmiter upper but as you stated it has a crowned barrel and I wanted to use a suppressor on mine. Bushy told me that they would not thread it and it would defeat the pourpose if I did. I ended up with the V-match upper instead.

We all need to get together for a CO-AR15 varmit shoot. ;)

[ssf467]

Didn't say it was too much, if you go out shooting it's nice to fight thirst. I have to build a cup holder soon.
If you want a Magpul it's a great stock. You can really lock it into you.

I made a couple of changes, now she is complete, except for the stock. I replaced the unsightly gasblock with a yankee hill block, and put a set of kns pins, and a timney laser cut 4# trigger.

How do you deal with the eye relief? and the scope height? I tried that and it did not work for me.

[car-15]

saddly enough that is the reason I cant make myself change the stock, when I put my cheek down, the sight picture is right there.
