My One and Only - diggler1833 - 08-23-2020
I've never been impressed with the recoil impulse of a rifle while I was actually killing something, but that changed the other night when I was taking my Grendel out for hogs. To be a honest though, I had used a .308 for several weeks, and then made a quick switch to a .223 for a night...but still.
My amount of data collected is still quite small, but I hope to change that soon. So far, the initial impressions are that this rifle is just a bit softer shooting than my 18" 6.8...but it is a good pound heavier too. It swings well, and fits me extremely well with the XLR stock (although I probably wouldn't buy it again...way too much time needed to adjust it)
Specs:
Aero builders kit with R-One handguard
Wilson Combat barrel, BCG, gas block
Larue MBT-2S trigger
CMMG .30 cal SV brake (don't knock it until you've tried it)
XLR stock

I like the looks of your rifle, Wilson combat barrels generally are good shooters. My Son in Law built a 300 Blackout with a Wilson Combat barrel that looks great. He hasnt taken the time to shoot it. Hes been to busy with family, work and moving. Im glad your getting to put your Wilson to good use.
