Hey fellow yote hunters,
Just wanted to post my first ever custom build that is for me and my needs, my dream AR. What I wanted in my dream rifle was two things: accuracy and lightweight. My current AR-15 weighs in at around 12 lbs, so I wanted to build something much lighter and field-friendly.
Below is the list of parts I have put together. I got all of the upper parts for Christmas and will be putting the upper together this coming weekend. Will be building the lower in the months to come. I've also included the weights of each part as well if anyone is interested. Let me know what you think.
* Krieger 16" barrel, 1:8,Stainless Steel, Fluted,Black Duracoat,1/2X 28 Threaded: 32 oz.
* V7 Complete Melonite BCG: 8.5 oz.
* AP Custom 15" CF HG: 6.2 oz;
* 2A Armament Balios-Lite Upper: 5.85 oz.
* V7 Ti Furion Muzzle Brake: 1.6 oz.
* V7 Black Ti Gas Block: 0.72 oz.
* V7 Black Ti Barrel Nut: 0.78 oz.
* Rainier Arms Raptor Ambi CH: 1.42 oz.
* Aero Precision Ultralite 30mm Scope Mount: 2.98 oz.
* Spikes Tactical Melonite Coated Gas Tube: 0.8 oz.
UPPER TOTAL WEIGHT: 60.85 OZ. = 3.80 LBS
Still debating on which scope to go with. Leaning toward the VX-R 3-9X40 Patrol right now. Any suggestions for 200-250 yard max shots with 16" AR?
