i want a great varmet rifle that is easy to carry uber reliable.

I am not sure about the SPR, DMR, RECCE, or what the difference is to say which one mine is but I think I understand the concept. I recently put the finishing touches on what you describe above.

Specs:
-Spike's stripped lower
-lower internal parts from Brownells
-Giessele SSA Trigger (a must imo)
-Magpul 6 pos stock that locks, forget the name
-BCM bolt and bolt carrier group non chromed
-BCM stainless 16" medium contour mid length gas system upper with standard flash suppressor, Viking Tactics (Troy) cylindrical forend with bolt on rails
-Harris bipod on Larue quick detach so it mounts on a little rail
-Larue quick deatch scope mount
-Leupold 4-12 Mark AR scope
-Troy BUIS
-Surefire 6P light with Malcoff 220 lumen insert
-Viking tactics 2 point sling

I think that is everything. Right now it seems to shoot 69 gr. match the best. When you say 1 1/2 MOA with regular ammo, I think that will depend a lot on what regular is to you.

I did my homework and this was the best price/performance for me. My advise order parts from Brownells and backorder what is not available while you look elsewhere. Be put on BCM wait list for when their uppers and bolt carrier groups are available. I don't think things are going to be back in stock any time soon. Spike's and BCM make mil spec quality stuff at good prices imo. All my stuff is black becasue any other color is impossible to find and I am gonna paint it camo anyway.

I ordered a bcm cosmetic blem lower with internals. I'm out of state right now but will report on the condition when I get back later this week. It was $300 without the stock body. Took a week and a half to get it.

What's the verdict?!

I don't have a non-blem lower to compare it to, but I honestly can't find a single thing wrong with it. Those BCM folks must have have some serious quality control standards to call this thing a cosmetic blem. Perfect fit with my new PSA upper. Rifle still not finished yet, though.

Dude, snap a quick WIP pic!!

Yeah, the blems I think are a logo or other feature mistake....not actual issue.

I'll take a pic when I get the energy, I'm laid up with a bug at the moment.

I knew it would function fine since they sell them as cosmetic blems, but I really can't find any issues with it cosmetic or otherwise.

Okay, here's a couple.

The rifle is a mock dissipator. The second pic shows that it has a mid length gas system with a rifle length sight radius. The front sight base functions as a front sight only.

It'll have OD green furniture when it's completed.

It's great! Fully assembled BCM cosmetic blem lower for $300 without the stock body, $325 with the stock body. I can't find a defect anywhere! I plan on putting a rifle length stock on it so that's why I ordered it without the stock body, of course I also had to order a seperate buffer tube assembly because of this. I'm more than happy with it, but the trigger isn't the best.

if you dont do 556 maybe 6.8spc. the 300aac looks cool but i have yet to see the ammo for it on a shelf some place.
