Lets see your MA-TEN Builds

[soofley]

tnx tnx!

lol robo. i got a sling and bipod already. The bipod is atlas BT10. I just got it today and its pretty nifty! it goes from 5-9" and a tad lighter and compacter than GGG. At its shortest setting, it folds JUST right, it touches the magpul AFG just a little bit.

Wash, The scope is a vortex 4-16x50 sfp mounted on a bobro precision. I love how the bobro has a grey clamp lever! it matches my gray LPK stuff.

is it safe to say that my build is a SASS  ;D?

Last foto. Only thing I'm waiting for is my SR Gold  ;D

Very nice build shoofley.  Love to hear how the Bobro mount works for ya.  Are you going to test its RTO?

[soofley]

whats RTO? lol sorry

[98Z5V]

Return To Zero?  Never heard that before, but I'm guessing that's the new made-up acronym.  I've already tested that, and reported on it. Let the guy search out the information on it's RTO...  <dontknow>

Great job brother Jeff,what a bueaty. <thumbsup>

I've posted pics of this one before, but it's the most fun to shoot of all that I've put togethr so far. I had a magnified optic on it, but I've found that I can hit 12" steel plates at will at 200 with the little mini red dot mounted at 45. I'm actually finding that for fast shooting to center mass, I like having the gun canted like that better than upright.

Well do, but it's going to be some time before I get any range time.

Here's mine. Mega matched receiver set. DPMS Bolt carrier group, Rainier Precision Match 20" barrel. Geissele SSA-E trigger. JP free floating hand guard. Burris 4.5-14 Fullfield II scope in Ferrell high rings.

Barely grouped American Eagle ammo - maybe 6" groups if I'm generous. I've been working up a load with 150grn Nosler Ballistic tips. It shot nearly 1". I'm hoping for better than that - have a batch of 165 grn Noslers loaded and just need to get to the range.

Couldn't be happier - now that it is shooting well. I still haven't had it on a scale - I'll try to get that figured out soon and pass it along. I may get the barrel fluted to reduce the weight some more. I'd like to have it as light as possible and plan to use it as a carry gun in the woods and for hog shooting.

[unforgiven]

Welcome from Indiana brother Newt,nice setup on that Mega. <thumbsup>

[george_995]

Welcome newt, nice rifle very clean look. 8)

[Newt]

Just shot some 165 grain Nosler Balistic Tips in front of 46.0 of Viht N150. 4 shots in one ragged hole and a fifth called flyer. I think that will be my go to hunting load. YMMV, but I showed no pressure signs and they functioned flawlessly. I need to get it on the chrono to see what the velocity is.

Looks like overall weight is right at 11# scoped, no magazine on a digital bathroom scale. I think that feels in the ballpark. I may try fluting to get a half pound or so out of it - but for now, I'm really pleased with how it turned out!
