It's a factory gun built by On Target Tactical Supply out of Wolfe City. I don't know much about AR's but it has a 20" barrel with a 4-16x44 Viper HSLR in a Vortex mount that looks like a Burris Pepr.  I'm not sure how many rounds he's put through it but this seemed like a decent group shooting prone with bipod and no rear support. The trigger is heavy and has a lot of creep to me. Idk what the twist rate is but this is with factory 55gr vmax. The last shot always has to screw up a nice group.... 
No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

He's going to have to sight it in for himself. Everyone has a different sight picture. And holy crap, talk about overkill on the scope and sunshade!

Mike at On Target Tactical is a great guy. I've purchased two suppressors from him and I can't say enough good things about him and how helpful he's been.

He had already sighted it in but wanted me to shoot it. I guess to see if I could group better with it than he was. Idk what position he shot from but I shot it prone and didn't make any adjustments to the scope.....

I don't use sunshades, but I can remember a few times I wish I had. One was on a particularly nice buck in Kansas. All I could see was orange........
