    I could believe that the 12.5" Noveske had speeds approaching a slow 14.5" barrel but I don't think that it'd happen consistently. Some barrels, sometimes even from the same manufacturer, are faster than others. My point was that I don't think Noveske barrels are faster than other match barrels. I haven't owned a 12.5" Noveske (and other 12.5" stainless barrels to compare the Noveske to) so I can't comment from direct experience but that is just my feeling from owning a variety of 18" stainless match barrels, including a Noveske, that this is the case.

    I dont think there really was a spec sheet for the first Recce rifles. I believe it was Kyle Defoor who did a video about the origins of it and he said they were just aftermarket 16 inch stainless precision type uppers that they put on their M4 lowers. It wasn't until the Army got involved that it actually morphed into the Mk12, which he said a lot of SEALs didn't want.

    Dot quote me on those, Im just going off memory from an interview. Ill see if I an find the video.

    Last I knew there was no such thing. Mstn has made some that were used to shoot bad guys in the face. There no military disignation, just custom builds for those that could get them. The ones I saw (posted by Mstn online) were 16" ss barrels with low to mid power variable optics. Recce is a concept not a designation.

    Fwiw, some had carbine gas systems.

    The concept birthed the MK12 as stated above, iirc.

    Mk12 pre dated the RECCE guns. But You're right that it's a concept rather than a true rifle with a mk## designation. It's just like having a DMR, yeah a lot of guys have m14/39 or they have an accurized m16 but there isn't an actual name for the gun, it's a concept.

    How did this thread survive this long? The one gun to rule them all is the Sr 25. In 5.56 it's a 14.5"-16". I call them B.A.M.F rifles. Market that.

    As much as I LOVE my SR-25, hauling oodles of .308 suuuuuuucks. I'm getting older. Funk dat. If I had a caddy, yeah or if it were just the total end of the world.

    But an SR-15 would be the bomb, I agree.

    Good point. I guess I was thinking more short term operation.

    Today I transferred the scope and suppressor from my "mini SPR" (16" Centurion Recce barrel) to a Centurion 12.5" CL upper and shot some groups at 100 yards. I was surprised on how well it did with magnification and decent ammo and could most likely do better when the range is less crowded. The wood benches/booths are all connected so there's constant vibration from other shooters.

    Old pic that shows the bench setup.






    Factory LMT lower/trigger with A5 system
    Bushnell LRHS 3-12x
    Fiocchi 50gr V-MAX
    Vortex FH and Thunder Beast 30P-1. I like the Vortex since it's easily removed by hand.
    Hornady Delta front rest (the red thing in the first pic) and DIY rear bag

    I first shot a couple rounds at 50 with Wolf and got it centered up. The first group at 100 was a little disappointing since I can group the same or smaller with irons or red dot. I switched to the V-MAX and got some confidence back. It consistently shoots about .50"-.75" at 100 yards with the stainless 16" barrel which isn't bad for ~$10 a box.



    I swapped targets and finished the trip with some Federal Fusion 62gr because I'll probably use this setup for the upcoming deer season where shots are typically <150 yards.

    People start out wanting to do shooting as a hobby and it ends up their hobby is actually buying and operating expensive tools. Doesn't make sense when you think about it.
