Mini RECCE Thread

[ExplorinInTheWoods]

So I figured I'd start a thread on mini RECCE rifles, so basically it's the same as a RECCE rifle but in a more compact package so 14.5 or shorter, free float tube, and a 1-4/6 or other LPV variable scope. I really like the idea of an accurate but handy rifle. Here's my 14.5 mini Recce Spikes upper and lower, geissele SSA-E, TR24 in a ADM Recon, 14.5 Spike's/FN barrel Surefire socom brake, magpul stock Spike's T2 buffer. It's a resonably accurate rifle, I need to get some match ammo to see what it will do but I think it can be a 1.5 moa gun

Here's a picture of mine:


.
12.5" Centurion barrel, 10" DD Lite handguard, Magpul furniture, Harris S-BRM 6-9" in an ADM mount, Burris XTR II 1-5x (5.56 reticle) in a Larue SPR mount, KAC Micro BUIS, and a Specwar K. Shoots ~1.15 MOA 5-shot groups with Hornady 75gr BTHP handloads and is pretty decent to 800 yards. It's a pretty fun gun to shoot.

I have to ask, isn't there already a picture thread for random rifles? < or =14.5" free floated rifles with a variable optic are a dime a dozen. Is it worth calling them "mini-recce" rifles? What's next, "mini mk18's"?

[ExplorinInTheWoods]

ar15.com has a mini recce thread so why don't we? They're compact precision guns, they're a fun little niche rifle.

I have a 13.7 Rock Creek barrel, 12" KAC FF RAS, KAC BUIS, SLR Sentry7 AGB running an AAC Mini 4 can will have a NF 2.5-10X32 on top shortly in an ADM mount.

Not posting a pic yet because it looks stupid on the pistol lower- until I get my gov't. issued permission slip to complete the SBR.

I have a custom build from parts aquired while in college.

Mega lower, stag lower kit
Bcm re
DD upper
Woa upper parts kit
Centurion 14.5" lw fn barrel
Bcm bcg
Urxiii
Surefire 3p
Kac micro 300m rear
Larue 104
Leupold xtr patrol
B5 bravo stock
Vcas sling

It shoots fusion consistently at 1.3-1.4" 10 shot groups.
I've shot sub moa for 1 5 shit group with 75gr match at 100yds, need to do more with it, but it's more than accurate for my uses right now.

Does a RECCE have to have a variable power optic on it?

Is a 12.5" Noveske Crusader Switchblock with an ACOG a micro-RECCE or a mini-stainless-M4?

Or is it a strech-switchblock-stainless-Mk18?

I ditched the LPV and went back to a TA 31 ACOG. I found the 1X to of extremely limited utility and it came at disproportionately high size/weight/capability cost. The better optical clarity, reticle, and field of view make the TA31 a much better fit for anything past 50 yards IMO.

I thought the short precision guns were called Afghans?

I'd say mini recce, those crusaders are supposed to be super accurate barrels
