Project SPR 

Quite a handsome build

Channel "Mountains, Mullets, Merica". Has a great long range shooting channel, he does first and second zero's, he hits 1000 yards with his 11.5" and 16" with 77gr. , test sub and sonic in 300BLK zero and range distance. Test 308 , 762 .

I love that he doesn't edit the video every 3 seconds. Long form talk like a podcast.

Awesome info, all the details we need and without too much extra fluff

Nice, I like the setup. The only thing I would really reccomend ditching is the YHM mounts and adapters. You can get something shorter, lighter, with better repeatability like Rearden or similar.

Running 16” KAK rifle length spr build. Very accurate with 75 grain. 🇺🇸 hits out to 600 are very easy.

Nice build. The BA Hanson barrel is the BEST. I also like that scope.

My 18” KP-15 build is basically the budget version of what you’ve got. I love it!

Love SPR builds. I went with mostly BA Products. Their OPS12 SS 18” 223 Wylde barrel is extremely accurate. Hitting the range again tomorrow. Precision class next month.

My favourite rifle is a 6mm ARC that's built around a 16" barrel. Regarding bipods, I find that when you need one, you need one, but they are a serious pain in the ass when you don't. I have a Valhalla, and it has a little male-end adapter on the handguard. When I need a bipod, I take it off my pack and slip it on, quick and quiet. When I don't, because it's getting hung up on everything as I walk with it slung, or I don't want so much weight out front because I'm shooting offhand, it's stuck in the water bottle pouch on the side of my pack. That's a pretty hot-looking build, though. Nicely done.

KE arms needs to offer a stock/lower with a K2 style grip. That old school angle grip is a deal breaker for me… and many others.

Congratulations on a very smart build.

My 18" heavy fluted faxon match .223 wylde is the shiznit. 1/2 MOA. Geissele 2 stage trigger. Aero Upper and Lower. Q Whistle Tip. Rifle length gas. Super smooth shooting!! Athlon Btr Gen2 2-12x42 on top.

I have a 18” AR built very similar to that one for a very similar purpose. I just always seem to be short on 75 grain. I’m gonna start doing the 1-2 boxes a paycheck, fantastic idea. 👍🏻

There is a tool for every job.

LEP is so underated in the light world. Thats fine, more for the rest of us.

I love that paint job dude! 🤩 Great video 💪💪 Swedish greetings!

With all that exposed barrel up front I’d strongly recommend the Otter Creek OCM5 with their OTB mount. Amazing suppressor. Extremely quiet for 556.

i plan to use that Scope for my DMR build. Glad its enough magnification. was also thinking about getting the 3-18x but though it may be too much

Looks really good. I am a big fan of that scope myself. I have 3 of the PA offerings and am pleased with them all but that is certainly my favorite.

Very neat! Finishing up an SPR set up right now, but it’s going to have a 16” barrel

Nice looking piece. Looking into doing an SPR myself, so I am here looking for ideas. I have an 18" 556 build that was put together with minimum possible weight that I think would serve as an excellent foundation. I have a couple of PA ACSS scopes in different power/sizes as well as a couple of HS ACSS dot type optics. Thinking of going with a heavier PRS-type shoulder device. I have them on 6.5 and 308 rifles. Seems someone makes a lighter version, but I haven't looked into that yet. Enjoyable presentation. I'll definitely save it to refer back to. Cheers!

Good looking build, and run down on how you might use it. Will have to check out that white light.

Good video man. I like the choices.

I do the same thing with the ammo. I prefer the Hornady 73gn eld I just order a couple boxes a week and grab a box or two every time I see it in stores. And I’ve been buying 200rds of the aac 75gn from psa once or twice a month when in stock. It doesn’t shoot as good but it’s decent especially for $.55-.60 a round

Why would someone want an SPR? To me this is a silly question. I think an SPR should nearly EVERYONES first AR 15!!! From a SHTF standpoint: You will NOT be clearing rooms like a Navy SEAL or in Call of Duty...you will want to keep people FAR away from family, home, food and ammo. If later you want to get a 13.9 or 10.5" fine, have a ball. But I think an SPR should be your first rifle. No question *Optic:* The Primary Arms GLX 2-10 and 3-18, Athlon Helos, Vortex Strike Eagle and a few others seem to be the popular scopes for SPR's but I think the Vortex Razor LHT 4-22x weighing only 21oz is criminally underrated in this genre. You will likely run an offset or piggy back red dot so having 4-22x rather than 12x, 16x or 18x is HUGE!! Give it a look. I am not Vortex lover but their razor line is legit!!

WOW, another great rifle video. You hit all the important points about a scope, good research on your part. Must agree with you on the reticle and its' purpose. Glad you brought up the weight factor: ounces add up to pounds: I highly like this series, but growing older am having to make adjustments that i can manage better. It's going to rain, here in Texas, so heading to the range for target practice in wet weather. Happy St. Patrick's Day. !!!!!!

62 grain ALCO .224 diameter projectile has a ballistic coefficient of 0.45, and can achieve 3,000 fps from that barrel. Same length as an M855A1 projectile. Decelerates to mach one at 1,140ish yards if I remember correctly. Better effective range than M118LR.

I love it. Very similar to my aero precision build. 18" fluted ss barrel, 223 wylde and a vortex eagle scope. Your build is awesome, im definitely going to do my next build with inspiration from yours. Im from upper WI and your location looks similar, looks nice out there. subbd my dude.

I have the exact same color pattern on my ak, very simple but effective/cool.

Looks like you need to rattlecan a sponge and dab your wml and you can help the camo by sponge patting with a rattlecan and rough sponge or even balled up newspaper to create splotches and break up the hard lines a little bit. Otherwise, it looks like a solid build and I dig the paint job. If you're happy with the pattern, great. In south Florida I'd break up the lines but to each their own. Thanks again for the video

Very nice setup. I have a DDM4V7 pro with that optic and a piggy back red dot. I love the setup. My range is only to 600 yards but I can make hits fairly easy using AAC 77 grain smk. Love the videos keep em coming!

If your gonna get a KP lower get a well ported/gassed barrel. Got a faxon pencil and there was so much extra gas leakage even with a bootleg bcg my eyes were just watering.

Please Jesus we need suppressors to be legal without federal regulation.

3:25 My Zastava M91 Hates this Bipod. So glad I didn't bring this Bipod to T. Ranch Armageddon bag for the win!

Very nice. Well done. Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared ... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel.

I have a very similar setup, with the exception that I've mounted a Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18x w/Holosun 509T @ 45 degrees. A little bulkier, but not bad...and more XXXs out at 600 for smaller targets. And the 509T is surprisingly easy to hit with on anything out to 100 or so for me...for others, much further, I'm sure:)

Great content Brother. Keep it up.

6mm arc would a nice set up,, throw on a complete upper with an 18 inch and barrel and your ready to roll…in fact Hornady says the 18 inch barrel is the optimal performance.. and look on the bright side you can use the BCG for 6.5 Grendel as well….

Nice build, man! Going on 3 DMR/SPR builds now myself, all of which have their ammo preferences (unfortunately lol....). Currently testing a Lead & Steel JAG SPR. Zach w/ Monsoon Tactical

Match conditioned AR’s have been capable out to 1000 yards with as issued BDC iron sights since about 1995 as proven in NRA Long Range Competition, Service Rifle Division. This is prone sling supported competition. All that’s needed is a rifle fitted with a float tube, match grade barrel, and a hi-speed 2 stage trigger. Then attend Small Arms Firing School for some training to get you credentials to enter NRA LR events.

I also prefer the primary arms acss scopes for my dmr’s. But I got rid of my 18” 5.56 and 18” 6.5 Grendel dmr and just went with a 16” 5.56 with a lpvo and a 16” 6.5 Grendel with the 4-14x primary arms hud dmr reticle as my dmr. I loved the thought of an 18” or maybe even a 20” 5.56 dmr until I built one and realized yea it’ll get out there to 600-650yds and even farther really but if there is any kind of wind you better be well practiced if you plan on hitting your target. Which I can do on a flat range but still at those distances the 223/5.56 is hitting like a 22 magnum essentially. I found the 6.5 Grendel to do much better and with 90-123gn bullets it hits much harder. I mostly run 105gn sgk and 107gn smk. I started with an 18” but found there really isn’t much loss dropping to a 16”. I feel a 16” Grendel is easily a 600-700yd rifle and I usually keep the 5.56 work under 400yds is why I went with an lpvo on it. Just gotta bite the bullet and stock up on 6.5 Grendel ammo is really the only negative I see. I’ve been shooting the Grendel for almost a decade now so I have plenty of ammo stocked up plus tons of reloading components. But definitely if I wasn’t able to go with a 6.5 Grendel for a dmr/spr it would be an 18-20” 5.56 with 75/77 grain ammo. Or the 73gn eld is actually my preferred longer range 5.56 bullet of choice

Looks almost exactly like my DMR “MOCK12” with 18 inch criterion barrel, same scope, off set RDS @12 o’clock tho, YHM suppressor (will change to the SRX mount system). I have an AERO precision lower tho 😅 with a larue MDT budget trigger cuz I’m poor 😂

Love the thought process. I’m building something similar, but like you said… what’s your AO? I’m basically in a forest.

Nice job! Oh, also, cool hat and cool range:).

That paint job, forget about it 🤌🏽

You should try that baby at 1000y. Can definitely be done! I shoot 8/10 avg at 1000y. I have a caldwell flashbang to light the target up. Best to try on a day with no wind 😂

I was a little shocked because you ended up building something very similar to what I did like a year ago... 16" FN barrel w/DD MFR rail, 45° canted HS507 and Midwest Industries QD mount w/Vortex 6-25x50 and canted light on the opposing side. I noticed you removed the red dot at some points. Where you having issues with it? The issue I ran into was spent casing being ejected at the glass. I got a polymer killflash cap from OneHundredConcepts and a cage so the rifle could be laid down on that side (or dropped) and protect the red dot.

Sweet Rifle man!

Sidewinder Concepts has great classes

2:36 omg i almost had a heart attack

im really going back and forth on barrel length. 16, 18 or 20. I know the pros and cons of each, leaning 16 or 20, feel like 18 is stuck in the middle, and when i consider 16 or 20, the 20 inch starts to feel quite a bit longer than i want.. and a 16" precision oriented barrel would likely do 99% of what id need.

Great content! Thanks.

Im getting the ruger sfar in 6.5 for a spr

Maybe try a .224 Valk, 6.8spc or a .308 in this same set up

The magpul bipod is actually not that light, my atlas is within an ounce or two if I recall correctly.

Seriously considering a kp15 for an spr build. Any concerns about running the carbine spring with a rifle gas system?

Bog is the Anderson of tripods, you should sell that and get a decent tripod

Me building another rifle: “Dammit Ryan…”

Super sweet build! What jacket are you wearing at 10:30?

True Life: My SPR Wants to be a GPR, I want a DMR

What part of oregon are you in? I just ordered this optic for a 14.5 pin and weld build I’ve been working on and would love to pick your brain.

Have 20" with same optic, vortex qd cantilever. How about micro dot on h12 Holosun he509t? What's your?

So I have a 1 x10 primary arms ACSS 34 inch tube . why would I not use that or what is the advantage of your two by ten as opposed to my one by ten?

The simple paint looks best.

Where is that range ? Is it open to the public ?

I have a burris signature HD 3-15x optic, any thoughts on if that would serve an SPR well?

How does the Athlon btr gen2 2-12x42 compare to the Primary Arms one you have?

I may have missed it but what is the offset dot mount? My one complaint with the MI QD mounts is the levers being on the right side. Limits options for offset sights, I assume if you had the scope mount back one slot, the offset mount wouldn’t work. Really wish MI would just put the levers on the left side and I’d swap the majority of my mounts to them.

Can you mount a top dot on this LPVO mount?

When is Hop and you gonna do a campout trip and collab and review your setups and gear?

Do you have any experience with the MDT oryx bipod? It seems very similar to the Magpul, and MDT has a good reputation for distance shooting equipment.

Did you paint your suppressor? If so, what paint did you use? I couldn’t find anything in your other videos about how you did this.

When you said you had to much scope on it, what were you running beforehand?

New sub. How is it, this is the first time seeing your channel? Oh yeah, YT hates gun channels and throttles them.😏

ITS MA’AM 😂

Pure hotness

What caliber is it?

what software do you to edit your videos ?

Who did you take the class from?

Did you spray paint your can?

How’s is HOSS UMC DOING

I'm thumbs up number 556 lol.

Im disliking this entirely because you jacked my whole ass idea. But for real, damn good build.

Nice

If you’re shooting 700 meters, why would you limit yourself to a 5.56/.223? Even if you are using 77gr sierra’s, why not just bump up to a more capable .308 and extend your range/performance? Yes they are heavier, and you get to carry less rounds, but if you’re building a “precision” designated marksman type rifle, don’t you want to actually be able to reach out farther than the guy next to you with a standard m4?

Any reason to even consider an lpvo when you can have a setup like this?

ACSS the things @14:45

What we really need is a 1 to 15 LPVO.

Im going 16 in .308 and full auto glock. 😅

Or just use a 308/6.5 creedmoor

I don't understand putting a white light on a rifle that is basically set up for long range shots. It's like putting a weapon light on a tank cannon. The projectile will far outrange the limitations of the the light. They're at cross purposes.

That bipod sucks. other than that, nice rifle

WHEN PEOPLE WITH pRIMARY aRMS SCOPES SAY THEY CAN GET FIRST ROUND HITS AT 600 YARDS

I don't understand in 2024 why people still run fixed stock lowers.... And those KE Arms plastic lowers are WACK. I get some of these decisions are personal preference, just seems like poor choices all together given all the good gear out there now. To each there own.

“SPECIAL PURPOSE RIFLE” it’s literally just a standard fighting rifle. Only in a world of short barreled rifles is this set up considered specialized.

Own everything within 600 Meters....with a .22!!????. Son, 7.62x51 NATO or go back to your couch.

Yay another person that doesn't know how to hold and shoot a rifle properly!

SPRs went out of style about 2017 bruh. get a clue and a shave
