I wanted to build something adjustable and lightweight so that my son can have something to use. I figured a 6.8 would be a good candidate until he gets his "first" gun. Build Specs: Factory BCM lower Factory BCM upper and 15" KMR hand guard CMC trigger ARP barrel , scout profile 16" Aero precision mount Leupold VXR CDS 4x12x40 On the bathroom scale , 7 lb 5oz (without bipod )  Hopefully it shoots!

Well done! A 6.8 is on my wish list.

The mount is clean and finished off well. It was a little pain to get the scope lined out but that wa probably my set up.
I'll let you know after it rides around awhile and I shoot it.

Is your weight with the scope? Yes! The mount weighs 3 oz and I just put a Threaded cap on instead of the normal flash hider.

That looks great and the weight is outstanding.
I'm really considering a 6.8 myself.
I recently sold my 300blk upper and brass, so I have a lower just waiting to be topped off. The 300 just didn't give me the fizz.
