A while back I sold a Keltec RDB, and kept the PA 1-6 scope I had mounted on it. I had a 1x Spitfire AR mounted on my BCM, and yesterday I pulled it and mounted the PA scope. It's a Gen III Primary Arms scope with the KISS reticle, and I'm mounting it with an Aero Precision Ultralight mount. After letting the thread locker set up over night, I took it out this morning to see how it performed.
I decided to go with a 50 yd zero, since that's about the farthest I can shoot here at the house. A look down the bore confirmed that I'd be on paper with the first shot, so I fired three shots just to get an idea of what was what. To my pleasant surprise, the group was 1.5" left and dead nut on elevation. Better still, the group was under .5" After an adjustment and a tweak, things got boring. I was using a Shoot N C bullseye target, and after drilling the bull for a while I started shooting at the ring numbers. Granted it was at 50 yards, but still a ton of fun.
The rifle is a stock BCM mid-length with hammer forged lightweight barrel with a FSB, to which I installed a Midwest Industries drop in MLOK handguard. The lower has the PNT trigger, which I'm starting to really appreciate. The ammo used today was IWI M855; I need to grab some more, because it's been pretty consistent for me.
After the last week of stress, frustration and sadness, it was nice to just go out and punch holes in some paper. I don't typically name my rifles, but from now on the BCM will be known as Dana.
