My GI is more of a 1.5MOA to 2MOA rifle.
I've had great results with the MFI rail. I bed them to the receiver for an even more solid mount. A welded rail is better, however.
I do my own triggers, but springfield and Williams are the options for getting it done. Don't try to get fancy...much below 5-6lbs and you may see doubling, which is no bueno.
You're also dealing with a 12 twist, so 168s may be as heavy as it likes. 155 Scenars are always an option. Some of mine will shoot 175 well, but my F doesn't like them much.
I just want it to hit at 1000 not looking for a super gun so the barrel thing isn't a big deal. I'm a gun smith so I think I'm good doing my own trigger job, cause I have done some for for a few of my customers and was able to get a 6.75lb trigger using a full powered spring. I can get a 4.5lb trigger running a MP5 spring (I will also be removing the first stage part of the pull so a 2 stage instead of a 3 stage one) but that is if I want to only shoot soft primers. My handloads are primo but I don't want to trash my good Hornady brass or LC Match brass. I know a heavy buffer is on the list as well as a trigger job, paddle mag release, 5 round mag for deer sniping season, good HK 30mm claw mount, my 30mm Leopold Scope, I think a wide forearm will be better for my sandbag so I will go Bipodless. Is there anything I missed?
