Really happy with my new SPS (my first one). Vortex Viper scope on a 20 MOA base and Vortex rings. Voodoo bag with my fancy Shellback patch (Navy represent!). So far so good!

Thanks Man.
Got this SPS second hand. Would not have gone with this scope/base , but they will work for now. First thing I did was take the base off, and re-loctited(blue) it back on. Was a good thing, as the rear most screw was loose. After that, got the muzzle threaded for the muffler. Dang I love those things. Kinda sounds like a .22 Mag . Tried out some cheap factory loads. Eh, you get what you pay for. Tried some loads I developed in ARs, much better. Ran 6 loads on an OCW, but think I'm still on the low side yet. Will try again soon. It seems to like 69 grain bullets.
A Timney 510 just got here, thank you MR. Mail Man. That should help some. Also ordered a Magpul stock. Kinda debated that one for a bit. We will see how it works out. Hope they make a .223 removable magazine for it.
Anyway, I'm having fun with this thing.
Thanks for the welcome, and I look forward to learning more about it.

Does the aac sd fall into this category. Noob here
looking forward to how it shoots. look to the barrel for a twist ugrade when able so you can throw 70-80gr pills. 1:12 will suck for over 55-60gr![]()
Got the Magpul stock and trigger installed. Now, just to get to the range.
Str8shot
It has a 1:9 twist and seems to really like 69 grain bullets. Fired a couple groups with 75 grainers and it seemed happy. Trying to get some 55 grain loads going also. Will post up some results.
Picked up a scope that more suitable for what i want to do. It's an SWFA 3-15. Diggin it so far....

how far have you shot it yet? I would not think to far yet if they seem to shoot ok. JMHO. I can't think with a 1:12 that heavier bullets will stabilize very well. YMMV Rem 700 223 with a faster twist are awesome with heavier bullets much further out then people think. Of course you may end up single loading the truly "big" bullets like 75 amax on up to 90gr. But worth it. I wish I could have more mag length room for my AR with White oak barrel.
His has a 1:9 twist.
DOH missed that
