It's been a quite nice day in mid-December,

so to the range I went.  Report to follow later.

Quick note: first time I've been able to try the scout-scope setup on the AR upper; like the bolt rifle I tried out a while back, I like it.  Fast target acquisition, accurate.  And being mounted on the free-floated handguard, it's stayed on zero nicely over about 100-150 rounds.  I can see that a variable scope- say, 2-6- would work very nicely this way.
