Very nice rifle you have there. What make are those handguards, I like the looks of the full length rail over the low profile gas block.

Looks like you have a long range set up...what kind of distances are you shooting?

Its Badger ordnance hand guard,, and I keep it dead on at 300 yards. Seems just about right for any thing for 100 to 500 with out much correction. Some may disagree but all I use is 55g ammo..... Look at the ballistics and u will see what I mean.

It does look sweet to see it in person with the long hand guard on that 24" barrel
