MidwestPX 172 Posted April 4, 2014 To me, an SPR is equally capable at 500 yards as it is inside of 50 yards. It's not a DMR and it's not carbine, both of which play to opposite ends of the spectrum of needs. This approach to an SPR makes it sounds like a compromise but I like to think of it as a rifle that's more of a jack of all trades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n4p226r 105 Posted April 5, 2014 so i have a few more parts to mine. i just need to figure out what stock i am going with but its definitely a fixed rifle stock because i got a colt forged rifle buffer tube, spring and buffer coming. i am probably going with the magpul rifle stock, at least until i can find a way to get a colt CS stock.

High Exposure 5,635 Posted April 5, 2014 magpul PRS ftw... Agree, but there is a pretty significant weight penalty. I wish they made the MOE fixed stock with adjustable height inserts like the 870 stocks. Or even if they had the slots for the clip-on cheek pieces like the standard MOE or CTR has.

High Exposure 5,635 Posted April 5, 2014 I have a PRS stock on mine. It's a good stock and does what I want but it is heavy. I am running a ACOG so I don't even really need to adjust anything, I just had the stock so I used it since I am certain not sing I You don't need adjustability as much as a way to permanently alter LOP and comb height to fit you and your optic setup. A lot if times you can correct height issues with different optic mounts, but this does get harder with larger objective lenses that you just can get any closer to the receiver with.

checko 180 Posted April 5, 2014 I noticed in these pictures that my scope is pushed forward farther than most. I know there are differences in eye relief and body position but is it odd for me to have it that far forward? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 5, 2014 You should consider the Ace Skeleton Stock I know it's a stupid reason to consider a tool or not to but I find all the ace stocks so ugly they are disqualified on that alone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 5, 2014 magpul PRS ftw... Too heavy and too expensive for me. With very few upsides. If I was to spend that money id probably just pin an vltor emod on a a5 buffer setup Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know there are differences in eye relief and body position but is it odd for me to have it that far forward? In position and If you sleep on the rifle, when you open your eyes, are you perfectly aligned? Are you repeatable on position, every time? Do you search around with the eye box? What position did you initially set up? Is your lop correct? Need more info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have one on my 308 ar and don't find it overly heavy and enjoy the adjustability... I'm also not running around with the gun... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex V 99 Posted April 7, 2014 Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, it's the only one I had for quick access. Just got the Steiner 5-25 MSR and wanted to show a friend the size difference from the NF 2.5-10. Hopy crap is there a difference lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only Odd if it is uncomfortable to you... move it back and see if its better, should shift your cheek wield back a little. It's all about what works for you. The stock and eye relief are the factors on the rifle.. everything else is adjusting for your body features to fit those criteria. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njpilot 671 Posted April 8, 2014 What's the specs on the nightforce and mount? The mount looks like a LaRue LT139 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex V 99 Posted April 8, 2014 The mount looks like a LaRue LT139 Correct. Its a simple NF 2.5-10x32 Mil-Dot/MOA knobs and ZeroStop. It was my first venture into a magnified optic and I picked it up used for an awesome price. In hind sight I would have liked Mil/Mil not Mil/MOA but it's okay. I think I will throw the Steiner on there in a LT-120 to try it out. Gonna be a long wait still for the 7.62 OBR it is supposed to sit on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 8, 2014 nice. I'm glad you posted that pic because i am considering the same scope for my SPR style build and wanted to pick up a mount. i didn't know if i should get the offset one or not. looks like i should. now i just need to decide on the reticle. i know nothing about long range shooting so i need to learn how you use the reticles before i make a decision. is that scope also illuminated?

Yes, the scope is illuminated. The reason I picked the SPR-E (LT139) over the SPR (LT104) is because I shoot with my nose to the chagring handle, even in prone. If you can see, the stock is two notches from fully collapsed as I prefer the shortest length of pull possible. I am only 5'-10" so something that is A2 length will just not work for me. This is why when I get my OBR I am at a loss as to what stock to use since I want a solid long range stock but the PRS seems too long. Anyway, because of my style of shooting I needed to place the scope further up the reciever. I did not want to mount it on the rail, or bridge the gap between the rail and reciever. The SPR-E was the perfect solution. As I bought it used, I had no choice on reticle, but I like the NF Gen2 Mil-Dot. The dots are hollow and do not cover much of the image, but there are many good reticles that NF offers. I would personally not use any type of balistic reticle because they only work for one round and one set of conditions. A mil-dot reticle is fairly simple to learn since there is not much to it.

At5'10, How short is your ape that you can put your nose that closely to the charging handle and still have proper LOP prone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex V 99 Posted April 10, 2014 At5'10, How short is your ape that you can put your nose that closely to the charging handle and still have proper LOP prone? is "ape", "arm"? Propper LOP and comfortable LOP are to different things. Propper sounds relative to whatever works best with your body mechanics. I prefer to be as compact as possible, I just find it more comfortable. If I have to kick out my elbow more then so be it. My nose may be above the CH to align my eye with the scope, but its in line with it or close to it. I may be at R14 this weekend, Ill try and get a pic. Even with my 16" PredatAR and the MOE stock pinned one notch from fully closed when I am prone my nose is at the CH. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted April 10, 2014 Same here. I just climb right on top of the stock. It's easier when wearing armor to do it that way anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
