Hey guys, ive been enjoying this rifle immensely and i wanted to share it with you. I bought it about 3 months ago, so this will be a review of the factory rifle as well. The first day i got it, i bought a new PRS stock, radian raptor charging handle, k2+ grip and a few boxes of factory ammo. I really like the slim and light factory handguard and factory trigger. The trigger is good enough that i dont feel a need to replace it. It breaks clean at 3.5 pounds on the second stage, so it is very similar to my RRA 2 stage varmint match triggers. Its actually surprisingly clean for a factory trigger. The ambi controls are excellent as well. Very suitable for a left handed shooter, like myself. Heres the rifle after i installed the upgraded parts:
I wanted to shoot the rifle asap after getting home from portland, but that didnt happen, due to finding the handguard loose and upon further inspection the barrel was also left loose, right from the factory. I looked all around for the proper barrel nut wrench, but to no avail nothing around in a 100 mile radius, so i ordered one off of ebay. When i woke up the next morning after stressing about the dang barrel nut wrench to tighten the barrel nut, i got an idea: id make a barrel nut wrench myself. I work with steel every day, so why not? Heres the tool i made:
Not perfect, but it worked perfectly, if that makes any sense. I was ecstatic and rushed off to the club to shoot my new rifle:
I was actually surprised at the accuracy i got from this new m&p 10 6.5 creedmoor. I shot this string a few days after i bought it:
My daughter even loves shooting it:
I still haven't shot it much, but ive shot it enough to tell you guys that im hanging on to it. I see some big potential in this rifle. Anyone else here buy one of these? If so, please post your thoughts. Thanks for looking.
