I've got most of mine loaded up with Speer 62 (64?) gr soft points but also have thought about using a lighter varmint load to try and reduce over penetration.

If you aren't adding an optic of some sort I would go with the Daniel Defense fixed sights, reliable and very simple. If you are adding a decent optic the Magpul BUIS are pretty cheap and dependable enough

man I built out a 457 scout youth rifle with an MDT chassis and it's a tack driver (it was for the kids I promise). I can only imagine this thing is a laser beam

railscales Karve is a good small option, also the new emissary development mini is good

Man I hunted down in Western TX a few weeks back and didn't see anything like the ones you got! Sounds like a well managed spot for sure, thanks for sharing and nice bucks.

pun intended?

what is your goal? Just be able to hit a gong at 1000 yards? If that is all you're going for a PSA basic build with a Viper PST Gen 2 will do it, but you will likely spend a good amount of time chasing it. Repeatable hits at 1000 out of a semi-auto are doable, but it is not a cheap endeavor I'm afraid.

I want one of these.... i thought it would be cool for my kids to each pick out a color for a different piece in their online configurator thing. Would likely end up super ugly looking but would be a memorable gun for sure.

what is your daughter studying?

depending on which version of iPad youre looking to tote around I would suggest the Patagonia Atom Sling. I have one loaded down with EDC stuff and some med supplies and it goes with me everywhere. Small enough that you don't really notice it on your back but enough capacity to make it beneficial. Also not overly "tactical" looking. If you were into bag carry you could easily slip a smaller pistol in there inside a holster. You can easily swing it around front and have it ready to go.

solid price with the optics

BCM BCG? Willing to ship it?

Got mine as well, my first quality auto and this thing is a beast!

Ive got one that takes glock mags (I think gen 2). Like others have said the trigger is terrible, the charging handle is akward, and feels cheap overall. That being said I put a Sig Romeo5 on an arisaka offset mount and it has maintained accuracy and it goes bang everytime I have pulled the trigger.
