AKYZ450F
FNG
A little background, born and raised in Alaska and have been thinking about getting back into sheep hunting before I get too old and too fat to do it. Made the commitment that 2020 was the year. Looked though the shooting gear and soon a stainless Ruger in 270 came home, then a few days later another stainless Ruger came home this one in 300wm.
However, after looking at them and shooting them. (Nothing against either rifle), both of them will be part of future builds. I decide to build an AR308 in 6.5 Creedmoor. The build criteria, reliable, accurate, compact as possible and light as possible.
Therefore, I ended up with a large frame AR in 6.5 Creedmoor that is 9# scoped and with five rounds in it. In addition, 40” long with the stock collapsed. It is a little heavier then I was looking for, but the rifle is really well balanced. Been shooting it and its been sub MOA with Hornady Precision hunters 143gr ELD-X's also shoots Winchester super-x 129gr well.
The build list 80% arms DPMS pattern lower, carbine buffer tube, CMC 3.5 drop in trigger, Magpul stock and grip, DPMS upper, JLBillet titanium bolt group, Proofreseach 20” carbon barrel, Superlative arms gas block, Anarchy outdoors titanium muzzle brake, JLBillet 15’”modlock handguard, Aeroprecision ultralight 30mm scope mount. Leupold VX3i 4.5x14-40 CDC 30mm.
Now planning to give it the first hunting trip on Kodiak in November for deer.
