Good lookin rifle there my man. Welcome to the board, by the way.

Welcome from Indiana brother Cajun,nice rifle.I think we have another member here that built that type.He had the skulls print on it.

[Cajun]

Thanks,

 

I still have a few things left on the build.. I'm still trying to decide on optics.. Any suggestions, or do's and don't would be appreciated!

[unforgiven]

Glass to a large degree brother is what you can afford,and the type/distance of shooting.

[Goofball310]

+1 to that.

 

Buying glass is a personal thing that you should put a lot of thought into to compliment your build.

 

Figure out your budget: $100-$$$$$$$$

Range: CQB - inifinity

Type: Bench, Hunting, Range, 3Gun/Run & Gun, etc

 

From there the guys here can better help steer you in the right direction.

 

BTW, really nice build. I always liked what BRO table (custom colors and designs, billit receivers, NiB BCG, & fluted barrels).

My intentions with this build is to build a long range precision rifle that is capable of consistent accuracy out to 1000 yrds.. I want a rifle that has the capability to perform beyond my current skill level.

As far as optics go, I want quality glass that matches the range and potential of the rifle. If I'm going to be limited to the range/distance I can shoot, it will be due to my errors!! LOL!! As of right now I am trying 

to decide between NightForce, SWFA, and US Optics..  In the area of 5 x 25 x 50 in FFP.  Don't get me wrong, I would love to mount a Schmidt & Bender on it, but I think it would be a lil over kill for this rifle. 

Not to mention out of my price range right now.  I think it would be better suited for the .338 lapua rifle that I plan to setup on the future..  I would definitely like to hear any opinions or suggestions that any of the members have..  

[Cajun]

Thank Y'all!! I appreciate the compliments and the welcome as a new member. This is my first of many builds to come!!

I'll throw Leupold optics in there for you in that price range

[Cajun]

I have also been looking at VX4 tact scopes. Looking through them in the store makes it hard.  It seems like the big difference will be made in performance beyond 300-500 yrds. Another scope that was

suggested is the Valdada-IOR.. If anyone is familiar or has experience with Valdada optics please let me know.

If you go Leupold, the mk4 line is the one to go with, unless you can afford MK6 or mk8

All the scopes mentioned above are top notch and should preform well for you!  Somethings to compare when making your choice 1st is $$ of course, 2nd what is the manfactures warranty?  #3rd which one has the reticle you like best?  5th Availibity(you may not be willing to wait months) 6th. Do you want First or second focal plane? and do all on your short list offer the type you want? 7th. Mil Mil or Moa Moa? 8th. lighted reticle? 9th. Internal adjustment, if you want to aventually reach 1000 yards you'll need lots of internal adjustment and possibally a scope mount with a built in 20 moa slant... Another thing is weight, scopes can vairy alot in weight & last but not least- glass clairity, tho all of these should have excellent glass and it may be extreemly dificult to tell which is best.

S&B, NF, USO, and the IOR Valdada are in the same category.  If you're in that category, get rid of the SWFA consideration.  My $0.02.
