Here's my completed LR 308 build. Parts list:
Grand total - w/o ammo: $2037.48
I took it to the range today, a really nice one I found about 40 minutes north of here. I couldn't spend too much time adjusting the gas block, as that's considered a repair and they didn't want it happening on the line. I did adjust it a total of about three turns out, but it's still under-gassed. I'll have to keep going.
I put 40 rounds through it on the 100 yard range and by the time I was wrapping up the second magazine I was pulling approximately 1 MOA groups of three, I wasn't using a very scientific approach, I was just trying to get it close while I started breaking it in. So I was just picking specific spots on the target and popping three rounds at them. I feel like it's a really good start for accuracy.
Other than the under-gassing, I'm also getting really bad nicks in the extractor lip on my cases. They are pretty consistent, so I'm wondering if I might need to run an emery cloth over the extractor tooth to break in the edges. I wasn't sure so I thought I'd get your opinions.
Anyway, it turned a few heads on the range, especially amongst the AR-15 crowd. My sons, who were with me, really liked the big boom and the fireball that came with it. The shock of firing was impressive, it really let you know it wasn't just a .223. It was very visceral, you could feel it in the depths of your chest. I liked it. I think I'll go out next weekend, too.

> If your shooting an AR platform many rails are not monolithic
You can eliminate a lot of that by bridging the upper receiver and the rail with another rail, gaining the benefits of a monolithic without it being... monolithic.
>and could easily have a 1 or more degree tilt.
I don't think so. You can very easily see a 1 degree tilt with your eyes. 1 degree is a pretty large angle. It is tough to see tenths of a degree, which is really what this level is designed to help you resolve.
>Also, how do you now this device will sit level even if the rail is?
It doesn't have to right out of the box. You level out this level and your scope together. All it does is ensure that your rifle is in the same configuration as it was when you put it on, not that it is truly level.
But that's good enough if you use a third measure to level out the whole rifle against gravity.
>No light but known manufacturer and almost 1/3 the msrp.
That USO level isn't really doing anything more than this Vortex level at <1/2 the price. It just mounts on your scope, which is even better at reducing variables in angle.
