Building a 6.5 AR platform.
« on: June 11, 2023, 01:47:38 AM »
Picked up a Bear Creek AR upper in 6.5 creedmore. Price was to good to pass up (under $300) Mixed reviews, mostly older uppers though. Right hand cocking so bench shooting is easier.

Then last week I saw Primary Arms had a blem special for long range scopes. Then they had a LE/milt discount so one found its way to me also with mount.

I have lowers and got 100 rounds for under $100 via ammo seek sent to NV. Now need a good bipod, may try an above barrel mount this time.

What happens at the ridge, stays at the ridge. Pics to follow, for some reason not getting pics from cell right now.

Turrets are a little stiff as well zoom. Really clear though and illumination is good. Caps are a nice bonus.

Need another 10 lower and decide on the bipod. Flash hider is nice, but think a comp would be better.
