The Varmints are coming!!!!

[carverk]

What handguard did you order ?

Don't know I just went with the base model And planning on upgrading later when Financial situation improves
I'm back on a rig Wednesday I bin off work for seven months
I got my MH used the darrel was way too heavy
I replace the barrel with a thin one and will put in a order for two carbon fiber hand guards and matching buttocks later this year haven't picked out a lightweight stock yet can't be something that's not going to snag in the bushes and it has to be quiet and no rattling parts
if ATR make a complete upper in a different caliber for larger game I will get one as well hopefully we will see 6.5 Grendel

Not sure if this has been asked or addressed yet... I read on your site these can be ammo sensitive. Any idea if any bulk/surplus ammo might work in these rigs? I am getting setup for handloading but I am curious how ammo sensitive this rifles might be?

Thanks

I just been running the Hornady stuff in the MH I'm only interested in the MH and MV for hunting
Will eventually get into reloading once I find somebody to custom make AR reloading dies for 6.5CM and possibly 338 federal
And pick up a set of AR 223 dies in Edmonton with some luck I'll find somebody show me how to reload for these rifles between Edmonton and Foxcreek I'm going to be working and hunting Northern Western Alberta all fall and winter by the sounds of it
14 and 7 work schedule works out pretty good for hunting

When you begin to have FTF issues while using the bulk ammo and get frustrated please keep in mind I will purchase the Rifle from you.

carverk, you keep mentioning custom made dies for the 6.5 and 338. You are aware you can get small base dies for both cartridges from rcbs? The AR series dies are designed for loading for this kind of rifle.

No I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to reloading Haahaa
I already purchased the wrong 338 federal dies from one of the guys on EE
I'll have a look in Edmonton See if I can find sum proper dies on my days off

 

[257hunter]

If you can't find any locally some of our southern neighbors have them in stock. Looks like I'm not far from where you are working either so if days off line up we might be able to work on a .338 load for both our rifles.

Like most semi auto rifles, exposed soft lead tipped bullets do not feed nearly as well as FMJ's, JHP's or polymer tipped bullets will.
Accuracy with the cheap surplus or offshore crap will be poor most likely. During testing we used the cheap 55gr FMJ AE223 ammo and it runs the guns flawlessly and shoots MOA which is not too bad.
Better quality ammo provided better quality results.

Would a BATTLELINK Minimalist Stock work on the MV is it narrow enough?

Thank you

All stocks (with the exception being the Magpul UBR) will fit to my knowledge. The caveat being that the wider stocks will need to be extended to at least position 2 on your buffer tube. Even the UBR can be used with the appropriate fitment via filing where the CH passes.

I run my LMT SOPMOD in position 3 on my MH, so no problems. Here are some pics of it in position 2 showing clearance.

AE223 ammo and it runs the guns flawlessly and shoots MOA which is not too bad.

If mine shoots 1 moa with match ammo I would be happy enough, let alone AE!! I sure hope that's the case

Cool that would be very generous of you and I will take you up on that
I'll be easy to fine I'm driving big green Swiss army truck With to Rokons in the back
Literally there's no such thing as a deactivated Road For me but there slow
The modern Hunter and modern varminter are the perfect accessory for the Unimog and Rokons Haahaa

I shot this at 100 yards with Black Hills match factory 77gr ammo on Saturday with my new Varminter...

.80"

Very nice! I look forward to entering the "My black rifle can shoot 1 moa all day long" challenge whenever I get mine.

Well, imho, this rifle is not meant to be a group shooter at distance. I decided to see what I could do with it at 100 yards. I only shot one group. This rifle, for me, will be a 3 gun rig and mild cqb plinker.

I'm only able to get to one or two 3 gun matches a year, so this will be more of a steel/coyote/group shooter for me. I wish I could get to more 3 gun

Was super happy to get a email on Friday morning that my rifle is ready. The good news is my noveske nsr handguard fit. Bad news is I won't see my rifle for over two weeks as I had to go away for work.

Also hoping to buy a 6.8 upper in the future but I would settle for 6.5.

 

[Oneshotkills]

I would second the 6.8 upper as well

 

[onetwentyish]

I know it has been stated the .300BLK won't happen, but that would be what would get my interest in a second upper. I hate having 1 off calibers and both a 6.5 or 6.8 would be just that in my collection. With a Tavor and ACR that will both eventually have .300BLK kits it would just make sense.

Might have to look at getting Herron Arms to build out an upper for me sometime down the road. I hope ATRS has a change of heart before I look at going down that road in the future.

Mine showed up today! What a beauty! Dropped an AAC flash hider on it as I had ordered it bare. Swapped the MOE stock out for a CTR and put a MIAD grip on it. Looks and feel amazing, much lighter than I was expecting(More like I was hoping!). If this thing shoot as good as it looks it will soon be my go to gun!
