Noveske/Vltor SPR

[Slippers]

Finally finished this last night, and got to zero it this morning. This rifle is intended for ringing steel at 400-600 yards, or further, from prone. I'm not much of a benchrest shooter. I've also never had a serious precision oriented rifle, so I built this one without skimping out. At the same time I saved quite a bit of money over purchasing a complete Noveske rifle by being patient and waiting for sales on new and used parts.

Upper:
Vltor MUR-1A
Noveske 18" medium contour SPR barrel with intermediate gas
Noveske pinned gas block
Noveske NSR 13.5" handguard
BCM BCG
BCM Gunfighter mod 4 charging handle
Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32
Nightforce Ultralite Unimount

Lower:
Noveske Gen 2 Chainsaw
Noveske QD end plate
Vltor A5 receiver extension, rifle spring, and A5H2 buffer
Geissele G2S trigger
G&R LPK
Magpul MIAD grip
B5 Enhanced SOPMOD stock

I'm not overly concerned with back up sights, but I may throw an offset MRDS or Aimpoint Micro on. It will be fed a diet of Nosler 77gr custom comps thanks to the advice and help of a few reloaders on M4C.

Great looking rifle. I bet it is a sheer tack driver and you are smart to go with that setup. Your biggest mission for the next long while will be learning the inherent bullet specific wind doping with to your setup at distance. What reticle did you go with?

Thanks! The NXS has the NP-R2 reticle. I purchased it used at an amazing price, so the NP-R2 wasn't my first choice. Considering the price and great condition of the scope, I'm fine with it. If I was purchasing at retail I would have chosen the MOAR or MIL-R with matching turrets . If I feel like the NP-R2 is a problem, I suppose I can pay to have Nightforce change it. Even with the additional cost of doing this, I'd make out quite well.

I like that setup. I don't think that the reticle will be an issue. I like mil-mil reticles because it's what I know and easy but it's not like an moa or modified reticle is that much of a change. Again you have yourself the perfect long range 5.56 and I'm betting it will slap steel out to 600m all day long... It might get boring

Oh and if you are seeing some opening of your groups try taking that Harris bipod off and retry a 5 shot group. I have a little better >.2 MOA accuracy without my bipod.

It's interesting you say that. I feel like I do shoot better when I monopod on a magazine (obviously not the 20 round in the picture), or use a makeshift rest like a backpack. Since my harris doesn't have roll adjustment, it's not the easiest thing to use anyways.

Can you tell me what interface you used for the Harris and the Key Mod rail?

I have the Noveske TRX/NSR sling/bi-pod stud: http://shopnoveske.com/collections/p...d-bi-pod-mount

Despite what the description says on the above link, it does not fit between the gas block and handguard on my rifle. I had to move it just behind the gas block, otherwise I'd move the bipod forward more. One more reason to ditch the harris....

Nice build! Very similar to mine.

I've heard that before but I haven't tried it with my rifle. I wonder why that is?

That is one slick rifle.
