308 16" L/W rifle length gas build

[archad]

I have been wanting to shoot a 16" .308 with a rifle length gas system since seeing Buckjay's 16" LMT build. I had a CMMG 18" mid length complete that I got for $1100 in early 2012. I sold the 18" barrel and ordered a Fulton Armory 16" L/W with rifle length gas system. I went this afternoon shot it on paper at 25yds then to 100yds.


First 2 shots low turned the Leupold 1.5x5 up 1" and fired 8 more shots. Its shoots better than I expected for a lightweight barrel and it so soft to shoot compared to my other mid-length 308's.

ETA: scope is the Leupold 1.5x5 CMR-2 reticle.
