Based upon one trip to the range and good ammo, this rifle shoots 1" @ 100 yds first few shots then heats up and will expand to about 2". I just got back into town and will do more extensive testing soon. Will take pictures and give load data for each group.

My concept for the rifle is a general purpose movement rifle. Traveling or making a quick trip to the deer lease etc.

The 3X Nikon fits this concept very well, I tried red dots but my eye sight (which killed my peep sights) drove me to this scope on previous rifles.

I have yet to get this rifle to the range yet, have the ammo and the time now so I will soon have a report and pictures of the groups + load data.

My concept for the rifle is an animal shooting rifle that fits in small deer stands. Plus the stock allows the younger children and small framed people to fit the rifle to themselves.
The 18" barrel will give more velocity than the 16" and the small 5.56 needs all the speed it can get.

The 2X7 Burris fits the rifle well and the glass is very clear. I have tried many scopes on AR-15's over the years and the 2X7 adjustables seem to fill my needs best with a 5.56 Rifle. The Burris @ 160 USD is a lot of scope for the money.
