Currently living in NJ with all indications I will be in Texas (Allen area) by the end of August.
I'm building a rifle primarily because I have a buddy that lives down there that has some acreage and wants help with hog depredation.
I've hunted and am a decent shot. So I decided to go with a .223. I'll be loading my own using Nosler "Bonded Performance" bullets and Varget.
The rifle is a BCM upper/lower with factory parts in the lower. Premium BCG and a 16" Criterion "Core" series barrel(I'm currently 5 weeks in to a 12+ week wait), 16" set up for a suppressor with a SureFire muzzle device. Optic will be a Sig Sauer LPVO Tango 6, 1-6.
Everything is just parts right now and sitting in a box waiting on the barrel.
Unfortunately NV and or Thermal is not an option at this moment. If "excess" funds are found, I will be buying a suppressor first and foremost. Glass will come after if deemed necessary.
Did I do ok with my choices? Any suggestions on changes that I can effect prior to assembly/move?
