Doc, very cool thread, just jumped on. I'm not smart enough to build my own 308, but I do love me some 308 gassers. Your build looks awesome and great to hear your shooting lights out. Dont get men started on night vision. way cool.

I loved reading this thread. I remember this built and I am sure it was great to shoot. Learned a ton. Thanks for the build!
Doc,
Any more updates on this gun? Is it still chugging along?
It is still crushing it. When I try really hard I can still get a solid .5 MOA with my go to 168 grain AMAX match ammo. Only thing I have done to it is change out the optic to a Vortex Razor Gen 3 1-10. I have had it out to 600 yards and hit 19 or 20 in a steel IPSIC with WOLF Steel case 147 grain ammo........ Just to see if I could.

It is also my go to for night shooting (old Scope on it from about a year ago).

Good to hear it’s still doing good, the 1-10 vortex seems like a good option for a battle rifle. I looked at two in person and one was good until you got past 6x it seemed to get darker and the other had some fisheye.
Past 6X I found that the eye relief gets a little less. IF I move my face about 1 inch closer to the scope if looks prefect again. Doing that, I have no issues at all on 10X.
It is the prefect scope for a 16 inch 308. It makes the set up very versatile.
It really is a good optic for that platform, did you get the MOA or MRAD version?
Dang, photos are great......makes a person salivate
