Todd K at Noveske worked with me to come up with a light weight 18" barrel to add to the NST line of competition rifles. Here it is all done:

Specs:

Noveske 18" SS barrel, NST profile
Young MFG NM Carrier, 308 version
SureFire 762 Brake
Magpul PRS
Troy 308 rail
G.A. SD-E trigger
S-B ShortDot LE
Bobro Mount

It gets put to the test in a few weeks out in Mesa, AZ at SMM3G. Lots of Heavy Optics shooters out there, will see how it goes. So far shoots very well with 155 grain A-Maxs.

My previous Heavy Optics got milled out to work with a BAD Lever, I will have our Smith mill out a BAD lever slot for this upper too.

Once the 1x8 SB SD arrives, I will swap it out for the 1x4 that Im using for this year at the moment.

Looks great how do you like the stock? Living here in NY and wanting to buy an ar pattern rifle in 308 my stock options are pretty narrow.

I prefer the Magpul PRS due to the adjustment capabilities and the way it balances out my rifle. Its all I use at the moment.

Nice…extremely nice…

What’s the weight of the rifle sans mag?

Whats the twist rate?

Thank you I like the way you wrote it “balanced”

I bet that is one tack driving SOB, that is one nice rig for damn sure:)

Any reason why you are running the Bobro over the normal NST’s ADM recon mounts?

I love the hat! :smiley: Sheri is such a helpful and nice lady.

(Oh yes, very nice rifle, thanks for the pics.)

I like the Bobro mounts a lot. I had this one on my previous heavy optic rifle with a Swaro Z6i, but sold the Z6i last year when we got a optics sponsor, and just kept the same mount with the same set up. My tac optics rifle uses an ADM mount.

As for Sheri, she rocks, much like that hat.

Thanks very much, and good luck in Mesa!

Sweet. For some reason I thought you guys were going with Apex Tactical rails on the .308 guns.

I’ll be using a 308 Heavy/Optics gun for some matches this year too. Mine will have a ASTX 308 lower and I’ll assemble up the upper (DPMS/Remington) very likely with a Troy TRX tube. I want to go with a Noveske bbl too.

Very nice Cold (great 3 Gun video as well). I have a few Noveske Rifles but no N6 yet.

Last year I shot FB3G with my JP LRP-07 18", PRS Stock and Swaro Z6i/BRT and it weighs in at 11 lbs. 5 oz. I’ll bet you’re probably just shy of 11lbs with your set up.

I may shoot some local matches this year with my new OBR and it weighs about the same. However, the recoil signature is noticably more with the OBR (I’m going to add the Surefire break and this should help). I also plan to get the LaRue 762 PredatAR which will weigh 8 lbs. sans glass. and I may shoot this at the Arfcom/RockCastle match.

I wish that I could make all the major matches, but I’ll probably only hit BRM3G and the Arfcom/RockCastle match. I need to check their schedule because I would also like to make it to your 3 Gun class this summer as well.

So I have two questions.

  1. You have a great blaster for HM, but doesn’t it make you just a little sad that you won’t get to shoot your Salient Benelli as much? (this is may favorite shotgun ever!)

  2. When is Noveske going to cut those very cool iron crosses into your Troy rail on your N6 for you?:cool:

Enjoy your new stick and good luck in AZ!

Man, call me strange but I could care less about the rifle, I’m digging the hat.

That’s farkin’ awesome.
