I was looking to build a rifle gas AR that carries more magification than my 1-4 LPVO equipped 16" guns. Use is primarily shooting targets, varmints, maybe deer or antelope - you could very loosely call it a SPR build. I wanted it to be suitable for more than simply carrying back and forth between the house and the range. This was a work in progress and took a few years to finalize.
I ended up with a soft shooting 9 lb rifle gassed 18" gun. The LaRue trigger is nice, and the CHF barrel appears to have decent precision potential. I love and hate the Noveske NHR rail, it's solid and has a great profile, but it seems like it fought me during every installation step. I think the scope is well matched to a 5.56, and it seems to be decent glass. It is NOT a cutting edge gun, for sure.
