Nicely assembled. I liked my Argos 6-24 BTR. I thought that for the money it was worthy. My box tests showed good tracking, and the glass clarity was great. The turrets didn’t click with the authority of others but those others were all a thousand dollars more.
Good luck with your build, and we need a range report!

The Satern 18" fluted cut rifled barrel I had was drilled with a .094" port, which needed a PRI adjustable gas block to choke it so it would run reliably.
With the adjustment screw almost completely closing the port off and with a rifle buffer and spring in a rifle RET, it still ran pretty hard.

I have 2 cases of Hornady Black on order from 2 different places, hoping one at least shows up tomorrow so I can shoot it.
YES, one of my case shipments of Black ammo showed up.
I finally got out to shoot a lil with it (and a few others).
Due to the weather and the fact I was TDY all week and had chores at home to do, I didnt get much shooting with it.
My first 3 shots outta it with the Hornady Black was .59 MOA and the largest of the day was 1.19 so I am happy so far.
Thanks mdewitt71, looks like 123 grain ELD-M velocity is lower than the A-Max I chronographed in a 18” Satern/Liberty barrel. I’ve gotten good results with Xterminator with 85 and 90 grain bullets in the 6.5 Grendel.

Good to hear.... thanks for info.
I got 8 pounds of X-terminator by mistake thinking I ordered TAC so, I have been panicking to find a use a for it.
I love TAC in 308.
Right now I have 90gr TNT and 123 gr. Nosler Custom Comp projectiles and X-Terminator, XB8208, CFE 223, and Shooters World Rifle Match powders to try out.
Next trip to Sierra I will bring home some 107 GameKings and 120 Pro Hunters.
