I hope you have hearing protection. With the muzzle brake, it will be loud. Really loud.

garik,

I think you are talking about zeroing the rifle with the laser.

Eye relief is the gap between the ocular and your eye when shooting. Just saying, your scope is too far back over the stock. The ocular end of the scope needs to be about level with the charge handle. You can then adjust forward and back until there's maximum field of view, but no closer to your eye than necessary. You can do this in your garage before going to the Range.

Okay cool thanks, i measured it, it is about 1inch past the charging handle. I'll adjust it now

Welcome to the Horde. Congratulations on a nice, first build.

Keep an eye on that mount. Some of us (not me, fortunately) have had the Aero lightweight mounts failure over time. The mounts were designed for the lighter recoil of a 5.56. I'm not saying you'll have a problem but it's possible.

Thanks for that info. Wow that's crazy, I'll keep an eye on it. Do you think the brake will reduce recoil to help that? The brake i bought said it reduces recoil by %83. Not sure if that's accurate or not.

Reduces recoil by 83%? Or reduces recoil to 83% of a non-braked barrel?

Here's what the website says about it. I bought it from OpicsPlanet for 160 bucks.

Hmm...not sure what to make of those claims. Seems like the marketing department used some special marketing math!

It does look like this brake is essentially the Alamo Four Star brake which according to the following link is top notch. I bet it'll shoot damn smooth!

I'm still curious how they came up with that number.

I also read on them that if regular but stock movement from recoil is 4", with this equipped it reduces the stock recoil to only 0.25". I guess I'll find out

Got a case! Now we wait for zombie apocalypse lol
