Building a new upper
So while I had a couple weeks to kill I decided to finish off my 5.56 long range/precision build. I settled on Ballistic Advantage Barrels.
Here are the other parts of the upper that I had already: Aero Precision Black Stripped Upper PSA upper parts PSA Nickel Boron BCG AO Charging Handle Aero Precision 15” Quantum Keymod handguard Aero Precision Rifle SS Gas tube Decided on this barrel https://www.ballisticadvantage.com/2...um-barrel.html Ordered with a BA .750 Gas Block. When the barrel arrived I only had time for some pics and a mock up. Barrel was very well packed as expected. Rubber covers on both ends, inside lubed sealed thick plastic, wrapped in bubble wrap taped closed, packed with lots of packing material in a good quality oversized box. No chance of this barrel getting loose and punching through the box during shipment. I took pics, barrel looks great. It is very well machined and lines up with the feed ramp cuts in the Aero Precision upper. https://i.imgur.com/wZgrlCkl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gxdbiFrl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nMT5cQQl.jpg Muzzle brake from Aero Precision. VG6 Gamma 556EX https://i.imgur.com/tNU0D68l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rvpSFzwl.jpg Going on an Aero Precision lower with a LaRue MBT 2 stage trigger. I hope to get to break it in and find out what it can do soon. All this lock down is getting boring without range time. |
Nice looking upper and great choice on the barrel. Waiting on RR.

^^^ When the time comes what scope will ultimately be on this build, any idea yet?

I really didn’t have a plan, just an impulse, and I jumped. So don’t give me the credit of having planned that far in advance! I have never been knowledgeable as far as optics so I will be learning as I research. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. |
Building a new upper
Best bang for your buck imho is the Athlon line. Excellent scope comparable to others twice the price. It’ll get you out to 1000 easily.

On my Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor I went with the ATHLON ARGOS BTR 8-34x56.
