Thumbs up on the scope and mount. I'm looking to get a 1-4 scope myself. Already have a Larue SPR-E mount headed my way. Don't have money for a NF scope though. I'm thinking about the new Vortex Viper PST.

Great looking rifle!

Do you find the FSB to be in the way of the NF 1-4? For Sh*ts and Giggles I put my NF2.5-10 on an M4-gery in a LaRue mount and @ 2.5X the FSB was blurry and very annoying. Just wondering.

i've used the optic on another rifle w/ an fsb in the past and i didn't have any problems. when concentrating on the reticle i don't even see it. i was planning on taking my new build out this weekend, but i was blessed by a new baby boy on wednesday... so that will have to wait.

I really like the BA ambi safety. Very well made and it has a positive click when switching between modes. It will probably be a mandatory accessory on my future rifles.

Haven't been to the range yet. My wife gave me the best gift ever, a baby boy, so everything has been put on hold.

You made that Aero lower look good, and I was considering making my Aero a beater rifle :D

I have been very pleased with the Aero upper and lower. They are a great value, very well made, and a have a great fit. I also like the look of their rollmark.

Looks nice...............How do you like the battle trigger in conjunction with the NIB BCG; dose having everything coated make a big difference you can feel.

I just ordered the NIG BCG from Spikes yesterday, but then found out it no longer comes with the coated hammer:(

In order for me to get the NIB hammer I would have to buy the whole Battle trigger set; and I'm not sure if that's the trigger group I want or not, but I know you should at least get the coated hammer because the BCG slides across it.

What should I do??????????

I still haven't taken my rifle out yet. This winter storm which swept through Oklahoma has been a pain in the a$$. Although I haven't had any range time the trigger seems to have a very smooth pull. I have a very good feeling about it!! :D

Well the stars finally aligned right and I got the chance to sight in my rifle and scope at the range. I may be a little biased since this is my first build but this rifle shoots like a dream. I was truly impressed with both the rifle and the scope. BRD is here to stay!!

I'll have pics soon of my 6.8 hunting rifle...
