I've been wanting to build an AR-15 that I can shoot a 1,000 yards with. I've been slowly piecing one together over the past several months. Finally got time today to take it out and see how it does.
Shot the first 10 rounds at 100 yards during barrel break-in to get sighted in and then I went straight for 1,000. Hit the target on my fourth shot. You can't really see it in the pic, but I'm shooting at a steel IPSC target at the top of the hill, just below the horizon:
Once I got my windage dialed in I was 3 for 3 at 1,000. I'm very pleased with the gun.
It has a Criterion 22" barrel, AR-Stoner side charging upper, Warne 20 MOA scope mount, SWFA SS16x42mm scope, YHM Ti Phantom can.
