"SPRECCE" build, courtesy MSTN, with group pics

I sent Wes a barrel I had ordered some time ago:

Krieger 5.56 1/7.7, 17in, Wylde chamber, mid length gas, medium heavy contour, M4 cuts.

I asked him to build it up with a Larue Stealth upper, Larue 12in rail; he suggested one of his YNM BCGs treated with Ion Bond. We threw in a Gunfighter charger and one of Wes's brakes.

I put it on top of a Larue lower: Geiselle match trigger, and the new STR stock.

I put on a Nightforce 2.5-10X32 NPR2 mounted on an LT105. I bought a double brick-- 1000 rds- of BH 77gr SMK blue box.

WOW! No surprise, but. . . .

I got onto paper at 25yds, then moved out to 100. The first shot was nearly dead on, high right; I corrected (slightly overcorrected. . . .) and fired three rounds. I know it's only three, but worthy of respect, considering they were the 8th, 9th and 10th rounds ever fired through the upper. Maximum spread right at 1/2 inch:

A bit later I got over to the 200 yard range. I left it sighted at 100, to check my drop-- haven't "doped" it yet.

this time Five rounds into 15/16ths of an inch. From a wobbly table, and a borrowed stool that was too short, I will take this any day-- sub 1/2MOA

Thanks Wes! This is going to be fun. Here it is:

Nice looking rifle! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on your new rifle!

The Kreiger barrel is stainless correct?

That is one fine looking weapon. Did the barrel come at 17" or was it chopped?

Awesome!

Very nice. How do you like the STR?

Where'd you get the STR?

Didn't know they were available, other than in black...?

One showed up in a local shop. . . they were also surprised.

How much did the barrel run you? Great build. I have a 2.5x10x24 NPR2 I'm thinking of building a SPR type rifle around.

very nice looks like it's going to be a shooter
