Barrett REC10

[Robert_K]

Big thanks to Stephen at Texas Rifle Works for helping me select the Barrett REC10 (16" .308) as my semi-auto 30cal rifle. He knows I have been tossing up ideas and a wide assortment of 30cal semi-autos for well over a year (maybe two) now. Primary roll for this rifle will be to hog hunt. Mainly around 100yds. Currently have a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 but researching various other LPVO leaning towards a FFP 1-8. Night vision is a possibility in the future as well. I have a Harris bipod but after seeing and handling the AccuTac I might be making the costly investment for one. Will be running my Crux Nemesis30 suppressor as well. Can't wait to get out to the range and shoot it!

With TRW's Barrett M82A1 CQ .50BMG...

Does yours have Magpul BUIS on it?

Yes. They come with the rifle from Barrett.

Yes. They come with the rifle from Barrett.

That's kind of cheap for what that rifle cost. Hell I put those on the rifle I gave my buddy who did A/C work for me 2 years ago hoping the pushed him into an optic.

I think it's a nice little bonus. Most rifles don't come with any sights. At least you can take this out of the box and shoot it right away. Are there "better" BUS available? Absolutely. But it's better than nothing.

Let us know how it shoots when you get around to it!

Thanks gents!

Well... As soon as I got it in, I dropped it off...

They work well.
I have a couple of sets.

To be precise the Magpul MBUS would actually be a BUPS rather than a BUIS, eh?

Marvelous choice of rifle BTW.

Will you be running subsonic loads?

Yes. I have 40rds of Prvi Partizan 200gr I'm going to try.

Very nice. Any plans to cerakote or dip them at all? Just wondering would look nice on either one.

It in the process of getting cerakoted now.

Hit a little bump though... The barrel nut is proprietary to Barret and therefore need a Barrett ($75) barrel nut wrench. Discussing options...

That makes sense maybe you can borrow one from another member here. Unfortunately I do not have one of those

Ended up just buying the Barrett barrel nut wrench. Hopefully here early this coming week and than out for cerakote.
