"State of the Art" SPR

[Turnkey11]

Buy a complete Larue Stealth upper with rifle length handguard and 18" barrel, combine it with whatever optic you like and run with it.

Here is what I did, after months of thinking about it:

If I could get this in an illuminated version I'd take a hard look at it for my purposes.

Looks awesome. Everyone else thanks for the replies and information.

RobS. Call me in reference to the Leupold stuff.

To me state of the art means less weight, better ergonomics, more durable, more reliable. It isn't about wholesale change.

The Douglas may be awesome but there are so many good cut and button barrels out there that it could just as easily be a Bartlein, Schneider, Rock, or a Krieger.

Trigger - Geissele. I can not say enough good things about the one I have.

FF - I still say for slung shooting, the shape of the Badger trapazoid FF is outstanding. However it is too heavy. Currently the DD Lite series is probably best of breed for railed FFs. I don't really buy into the need for mono platforms (VIS) to enhance accuracy. I think any in spec upper that is trued with a primo barrel is gonna shoot some tight groups at long distances. I also don't see any real reason to put a switch block or gas shut off valve on the system. You aren't gonna shoot sub sonic 5.56, and it isn't a gun for full auto - it is for precision. Shutting off / minimizing the gas has nothing to do with precision.

Stocks - a plain ol A2 is really pretty good for most postions; otherwise an E-Mod would be (is) my choice.

Mount - hard to beat a LaRue.

Optic - people can fight over that all day long. I can not say enough good things about an S&B 3-12x50 Gen2.

Here is what I am running:

Noveske Upper on a VIS
Colt lower with Geissele DMR
LaRue
S&B 3-12x50 Gen2
Surfefire 5.56K

Might want to take a look at this too then:

Now that is a serious rifle! I really like the optic, maybe a little more than the original SPR idea, but a damn nice scope.

That's pretty much what I did here. LaRue 18" Stealth upper with 13.2 rail. Pictured with Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5 in an SPR mount, but I recently picked up a Mark 4 3-9 and will be installing it in an SPR mount on this rifle. The pictured 1.5-5 Mark 4 will be moved to one of my BCM uppers.

frbowers,
On your 18" Stealth, is that a mid length or a rifle length gas tube? WHat size groups are you getting at 100 yards?
Thanks

That is a mid-length gas tube. I only recently finished this rifle and have not been able to get out to the range with it yet. We are still in the middle of winter here in my part of Alaska and weather on the the weekends lately has not been cooperative. I plan to post range results once I get a chance.
