Impressive.

Looks like a great build. Range repot.

That's a nice build. No concerns about running strictly mag length 6.5 CM?

Nice rifle. Curious to see how it shoots as well.

Nice!

In other words Tony you and I are limited to rounds that fit in the Magazine. Most 6.5 bolt guns the rounds are loaded longer for multiple reasons. But to answer Orbital's question the hornady ELD's from what I read aren't jump sensitive so if I do my part and teach someone how to reload properly and use the right projectiles it shouldn't be an issue.

Looks good. Interested to hear how it shoots.

If I were to get into long range rifle, I think this is the route I would go as well.

Nice Rifle!!!!

I'm in the process of doing the same thing, but in 308.

Aero M5 upper and lower to start it off.
Magpul PRS stock.
Geisselle SSA-E
Aero BCG
Raptor charging handle
Aero keymod handguard
Criterion 18" barrel
YHM Phantom flash hider/comp

Burris P.E.P.R. mount
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 EBR/MRAD reticle

Yea, it is a go big or go home kind of build, for longer range precision.

Nice looking build - range report when you can?

One of the few things I need for this build is a lapping tool, once I get all the parts in for the upper.

Does this require a different size lapping tool than the standard AR type?

I was going to ask a buddy to machine one for me.

Are you satisfied with the monopod? Thinking of putting one on my RPR.
