So I've had a chance to get it out to the range. I shot both XM193 AE, and a bunch of Black Hills 75gr MHP.
This gun ran perfectly, I'm not surpirsed. Shooting off the bench with the fore end supported by sandbags I was grouping inside of an inch and a half at 50 yds, and inside 3 inches at 100yds using the Black Hills. I'm sure the rifle is capable of better. I was a little concerned going from an Eotech to an Aimpoint but the change over was painless. I could feel the difference between the H buffer in this and the C buffer in my RRA, I can see why the change is recommended.
I still have a couple of little things to work out but all in all this is better than I had hoped it would be.
Big thanks to the folks on this site and M4C who provided a lot of great information to help me select the bits and pieces, and to the Folks at Rainier, G an R, and Bravo Company for having stuff in stock. :D
Now for some pics
