Finally got my Baer

Post by Hawkeye Joe »

I've been waiting for this day for a few weeks now.It's a Les Baer Ultimate AR .223 Super Varmint with 20" 1-9 twist barrel. A 204 upper is ordered though. I couldn't help but put my NF on top . Can't wait to see what she'll do with some hand loads. Due to the 70+ mph winds, I don't think i'll be shootin her today :mad: .

Thanks for the comments. That's the factory target in the picture. I'm thinking I should pock up some Factory Federal ammo :doh: :lol: . I'll be at the range Saturday morning regardless of the weather. As for keeping the NF on top ,I'm not sure. I have a Bushnell Elite 6500 4-30x50 ordered for it. Got a great deal on it too..$700 :D . And last but not least, Yes, The ordered 204 upper is a Baer. I hope it takes it's time getting here :? . Gotta save some $$$$ for peanutbutter and mac&cheese :lmao:

My local shop gave me a deal. Finally 8) 8)

I measured the chamber and a 69gr Sierra match King will touch the lands at 2.300 from base to tip. The Federal factory ammo is 2.250 long. I guess it likes a .050 jump to the lands. We'll find out Saturday if they used a hole punch to make the factory target :lol:
