So I got out yesterday and shot my new Noveske build yesterday and damn it can shoot!!! Put 7 rounds into a half inch group with a lot of wind (was moving me around using a sand bag), I did have 3 rounds that went high but that was shooter error (still have a lot to learn).
Build:
Upper Noveske with Vltor MUR-1 upper, Noveske 18" stainless and fluted barrel, Viking Tactics 13" extreme rail, Troy fold down sights, Larue Mount with 1-4 optic (S&B is coming for this rifle so optic is temporary), Battle Comp 2.0, Wilson TTU trigger, LMT Sopmod stock, and Magpul sling points.
I plan on buying the same rifle in 14.5 inch for close up work, super super impressed with Noveske quality, been a Colt and LMT guy for a long time but the Noveske is a lot nicer!!! And their super responsive to customer questions and needs.
Very nice. While not a fan of lite single stage triggers or single point slings on heavy guns, I think you have made some excellent choices in your gear selection.
This rifle as seen in the pics weighs 8lbs on the button!! The fluting and forearm saved a lot of weight!! I have several lowers some with giessele triggers, still deciding if I like the Wilson trigger.
Yea put it on a certified shipping scale and it hit 8lbs as in pic unloaded. I have lighter rifles but for more of a DMR I think it’s just right. I look forward to the S&B 1-8 to come out, I might put a Nightforce 2.5-10 on it for now to see what it can do at longer ranges. Didn’t build this one as a door kicker but more of a distance shooter.
Agree with Grant but obviously you knew what you wanted, how to shoot it, and you got what you want.
Question on the barrel… Did Noveske do the fluting for you? I didn’t know that was an option. I’ve been somewhat passively considering a nap-time rifle (I think others call them “DMR”, “precision”, or “benchrest” guns :sarcastic:) and have been poking around various makers looking at what they offer. Did it start as the standard 18" or the 18" lightweight?
The 16" lightweight stainless weighs 3 oz. less than the 18". I wonder if the 18" was fluted how much closer it would get to the weight of the shorter barrel…

Yea noveske did the fluting it was 100 percent all them. It was $135 I believe for fluting. It was a standard weight 18" not a light weight.
Nicely set up. Is that a Noveske marked Gunfighter CH? I have a Noveske lower and one of G&R’s LPK’s on the way. I plan to buy a Noveske upper and go the do their SBR program. I’m leaning towards a 300 AAC.

I have one on my 2nd AR. You can order them ala carte @ Noveske. I just got it for something a little different, same price as the BCM/VLTOR marked ones.
