Thank you Form I’m now a mk12 believer

Do y'all recommend a 1-7 or 1-8 twist?

FWIW I like 1:7 when in a shortish (14.5” to 18”) barrel. Would love to hear PRI owners experience though on how 1:8 does accuracy wise with 77 tmk’s or similar vs 1:7 if they’ve been able to observe both

There’s no difference that 1:7” or 1:8” twist makes on accuracy. The difference is just barrel to barrel variability.

I'm trading a rifle I've had sitting around for a Mk12. Thinking about a (2)2.5-10.

Tough decision. Need some advice.

Credo 2-10x36 w/ no parallax (ffp mil)
Vs trying to chase down an NXS 2.5-10x36 but sfp (mil).

Any other recs sub 1500ish ?

Trying to keep it mk12ish but not too nerdy. Throwing a aem5 on there also.

PRI 18" 1:7 on a BCM lower

Why not just just a 42mm obj NXS?

SWFA 3-9x, SWFA 3-15x Gen 2.

Definitely considering.

Not out of the question. If I can track one down used at the right price. Market is a little higher than my budget.

I really feel like the Credo with a side-focus would be the ideal "dmr" scope.

Used NX8 2.5-20. They show up time to time. In use they're closer to a 2.5-12 for real use. The Leupold MK5HD 3.6-18 and the 2-10 are both showing up often under $1500 with full warranties.

Excuse the dumb question. . . I am learning the AR 15 stuff. Can a guy put a MK12 MOD 0 PRI upper on any decent lower and expect the same accuracy you are observing?

I have an Aero Precision M4E1 lower that I am considering getting an accurate barrel or upper for. Currently, the rifle I own has all Aero Precision parts and a Ballistic advantage 1-7 twist barrel. I am not satisfied with the accuracy and wondering the best way to achieve a 1MOA AR15. . . The results the OP posted are impressive.

Yes.

 

[JF_Idaho]

Yes. Just add a good trigger.

No parallax on a 2.5-10 is not a big deal. I have the Credo you reference and it does fine 1k and and in.

I’m torn between the Credo 2.5-10 and the newer Credo 1-10. Waiting to see if anything new from NF comes out at shot though.

Nice rifle! You absolutely have to get the AEM5 can for this. One of the best cans of all time and just such a fun shooting setup. Also, check out the 15.1” NSW RECCE config w/ the KAC FF RAS long hand guard. Hands down my favorite upper…

Picked her up



PRI 18
BCM Lower
60° lever
Geissle Trigger
Armaspec captive spring/buffer

Unfortunately he forgot the thread protector. Gonna throw an athlon 3-12 mil dot I have laying around on it until I figure out glass.

My ignorance on private party transfer of a can has led me to realize that isn't happening for the aem5. Now I am considering an ocm5 which I can get locally.

Anyone have any insight on the ocm5?

If that rifle doesn’t get beat to chit…. Jesus will be disappointed.

It’s good can.

That's the plan. Lube her up with Coors light and put her away wet and dirty.

I’m getting a PRI rail and forend to make my current setup MK12-ish.

What barrels would be good to look at? The current one is a cheap 1-9” twist.

As I understand it, Douglas is the clone correct and gold standard in performance, but also spendy

 

[wind gypsy]

There are mk12 configured Douglas barrels sold as components from pri. Craddock and WOA are popular choices too.
