Let us know how it shoots. WC makes good stuff so I'm curious on their new 308

It feels very light (for an AR10) and very balanced, even with the very light buttstock on it.

I took it out over the weekend for a quick function test. I wasn't too concerned about group size as it was cold and windy and I am not 100% sure this is the optic I will run long term. Initial shots were within 3/4" with Barnes 168 Vortex.

I have a Mark6 3-18 showing up today I plan to try on it as well. I am running my Templar Tactical Archangel on it though it might get switched out for the Nemesis30 which is much shorter, just not as quiet.

I hope to get it on Wednesday to stretch it's legs to 1K and then hunt for 4 days starting Friday. I will also get a chance to do some real group testing with various ammo.
The gun ran 100% with and without the can and there was zero gas blowback in my face. I would say they got the gas port and buffer setup tuned right.

Its an interesting color of brown. What do they call it?

I wonder if Larue GAPs would fit on the rail???

Nice set up. What turrets are you getting on the Mark 6?

I hope the new C2s..
I am not sure what they shipped though.
I called my contact at Leupold who was out and put me in touch with another guy..
He overnighted the scope and so I will see when it shows up.
There was a volley of quick emails and I requested the C2..

Cool. Which reticle did you go with? I got the C2 version with the TMR for $2599 to my door. I love the scope. Only thing I have found is the 0 mark on the scope is slightly off from the zero stop on the turret. I've heard that it can be sent back and they can adjust it. I think I can live with it for now.
