I just built an ARC using an Aero upper, Tactical Kinetics 20" barrel, Odin AGB, Faxon bolt, cheap 17" handguard, mounted on a Joe Bob's lower with a 3.5# single stage trigger, topped with an Arken EP5 MRAD scope and 20 MOA mount. Went to the ranch yesterday with my boys and nephew to try our luck shooting out to 1k yards. Once dialed in at 200, we hit plates at 450yds, 650yds and then 1000yds. So much fun and 1000yds is a long ways, especially when you've never shot past 500. Lol. The ARC did well and started shooting great after 40 rounds, however, it doesn't like the Hornady Black ammo much. My thrown together 108gr ELD-M reloads shot great and were used for the 1000yd plate. Now to work on precise load development and shoot more.
