Awesome build! I've been craving to do a build on the MEGA receivers since they came out.
Excellent choice on the glass, Nightforce makes good chit. My advice, match the turret graduations with the reticle graduations. mil/mil or moa/moa. Takes the conversion math out of adjusting. Other desirable options are first focal plane and zero stop, it will add to the cost but if you spend any time at all shooting distance, you will be glad to have it...wish I did.
Lots of good mounts out there, I prefer larue, but ADM and Armalite are good as well.


..and bipod envy.. I've got it.
ArmaLite Super SASS for sale W/ extras. PM for details.

Truth. As for scope mounts, in addition to the makers that 13fcolt mentioned, Bobro also makes a good one-piece mount. Should you want to use rings, LaRue makes good sets as does Badger Ordnance.

The only thing wrong with your build is this:Man, I get an itchy rash just looking at the term.

I'm with LebbenB on the Bullet Button. I guess you live over there.

What's the extra lever in the trigger guard do?

Well what are ya gonna do. Peoples Republic of California made the call on that one.

The extra lever is a new requirement here in PRC. You have to have one finger on the trigger while simutaneously pushing up and forward on that...... nah just joking. It is a Phase 5 "BAD" lever or bolt catch.

Cool! I thought it might be a BAD (but you had me going for a minute ;).

Didn't know Magpul made one for the 10. Give us the details.

It is not a Magpul lever. Check out phase 5 tactical. EXTENDED BOLT RELEASE V2 (EBRV2. I have a MP BAD lever on my AR-15 and like it but this one is one piece rather than a lever, back plate and screw.

Cool!

I thought the MP BAD design left something to be desired, but I would buy a Phase 5 "BAD" if they made it for the 10.

Does anybody make a gun that trips the bolt stop when you insert a full mag? Seems like a no-brain thing to me.
