Noveske Parts with 20” Proof Research Barrel

[irondude]

I built this rifle primarily for Limited Division competition for the PRS Gas Gun Series, and for a few Rifleman’s Team Challenge matches coming up in 2017. So far in testing is has been a terrific shooter, I could not be more pleased with the overall performance.

For these competitions, the max distance will be 1,000 yards. The Vortex Viper PST 4-16X50 has worked well so far out to 1KM. I can’t see myself shooting effectively beyond this range. I am sure others could do much better.

In any case I have been shooting .5” - .75” MOA groups with 5.56 IMI 77 Grain SMK factory ammo. Target Sports USA had this on sale around Thanksgiving so I bought a bunch. This ammo’s average speed is 2,765 FPS.

The Upper receiver, lower receiver, NSR Hand Guard and Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard were all finished in Magpul FDE Cerakote by BXC Coating in Everett, WA. (http://www.bxccoatings.com/)

This picture is not very good. The Cerakote has a very matt finish.
