Thought I'd start a thread to see how everyone's Lilja builds end up.
Here's the build list:
I'm gonna switch to an Ace Skeleton stock to fix the balance, the PRS is too heavy on the mid weight barrel.
Build went together quite smoothly, we shall see how accuracy shakes out. Shot ~8 groups today, most were Blc2 over 123 amax in a hornady case with CCI BR4 primers. The bad one in the center is factory AA 130 Sirocco, nice that they stabilize in the 9 twist, but accuracy is poor, the third bull (not shown) had a 3" 8 shot group with them.
I'm likely responsible for a good deal of the inaccuracy. I have been shooting bolt guns for the past couple months so it took a bit to remember the recoil impulse and 2 stage trigger. With some lapua cases, and 8208 I think 1/2 minute is possible.
Several times I could cloverleaf 3 rounds, but the rest would hit wide, or start a new cloverleaf.
Here's the build list:
- Lilja 20" 740 1-9 Twist Crowned
- Rainier Ultramatch upper
- Troy Handguard
- SLR Rifleworks Gas Block
- Wilson Combat Gas tube (at tube is a tube, but hey, why not)
- JP bolt carrier
- Carbine buffer with rifle spring
- MagPul PRS
- BAD Safety and Pins
- monsterman grip (at least the weather is really nice)
- Giessele SDE
- Sightron 6-24 FFP
- Barrett ExRings
