new AR "value on a budget" build

[polecat]

Anyway I  Just installed the Timney trigger today and it is so smooth! Quite an addictive process with all the researching and parts ordering...hope it doesn't become a "habit"!  :)

Very nice, but if you call that a "budget build" I guess your "high end" one would top $10K! ;)

That sounds like more of a value build than a budget one. Sounds like you built one heck of a rifle for your money. Hope it treats you well.

Budget and Timney aren't even in the same dictionary.  :lol:

 

Let's see some pics!

it shot well with the stock trigger but I hope to get a little more accuracy with the Timney.

I'm sorry but I must point out the elephant in the thread. You know your scope mount is backwards right?

[Rightwinger]

If he gets the proper eye relief to see a good full circle in the scope then it's mounted just right.

LOL! I did not know! I do have proper eye relief but I kept wondering why it was so difficult to adjust this mount. I must be getting more senile than I thought.  DUH! :stunned:

It's just made to let you push your scope forward for proper eye relief. I used the same mount on one of mine and love it, solid as they come
