Range Report
Finally got to go to the range today and got the irons sighted in then finally took most of my time to really get my Meprolight RDS right on. All went well with putting 140 total rounds down range. No malfunctions. Ejection pattern was between 2:30 and 3:30 at all times. Very soft shooter. This will be my new go to rifle after I get a few hundred more rounds through it with no issues.
I was using both 55gr American Eagle XM193 mil spec ammo. The barrel is a 1:7 twist voodoo 14.5" middy.
After getting it really close to zero I started shooting for groups. I thought if a 10 shot group was good, then a 40 shot group would be better. This was done at 50 yards.
So my first 3 shots were slightly high so I did a 2 click adjustment down and came out with this target after 40 shots total downrange. I am sure my shots off to the right were user error and not the fault of the rifle since the middle of the target was basically shot out. Not sure what I did on the low left shot.

Nice shooting.
Because of a buddy, I can only look at Spikes Lowers and LMAO now. But overall, how it shoots is the most important thing.

Looks good, shoots well - I like it

Well, boys...it looks like I may be pulling this rifle apart. I noticed my Meprolight RDS had movement on the pic rail of my upper receiver. I put the RDS on some of my other rifles and there is no movement. The pic rail on my upper must be seriously out of spec. That will teach me to use another Anderson upper...
I love the way it shoots but I just can't leave it how it is. Even if I could mount another optic on there with no problems, I know its not in spec and it will bug me.
Going to go pick up a new upper tomorrow and redo the upper...

I am just going to go with my LGS upper. Lanco Tactical. I have another Lanco upper that the optic clamps down on just fine.
I am going to take the optic just to test fit it on the upper.

My OCD doesn't like mis-matched uppers / lowers, so take a look at this: http://www.schuylerarmsco.com/produc...emished-85-993
