I know I'm a jackass, but I couldn't help myself. It was a hell of a deal...

OK, let me guess. It has a stainless fluted free float barrel with a flat top upper. Is an Armalite ar-15T?

Tasco scope - bushmaster lower, 24" barrel - not sure if it is a bushmaster or not. and yes, the upper is flat top haven't taken it apart yet. also obviously has bipod and pistol grip mods.

shoots very nicely. previous owner whom I know very well claimed he got it out to 600yds once in perfect conditions, but normally accurate to 400yds.

Since Jack isn't here, I'll take a wild guess. Let us see, long, heavy, fluted, free floating barrel, looks like a nice high power optic, shoots well out to 4-600 yds, so it would be set up for a heavy bullet, 75gr. My guess is 1 in 7, but you know, it's probably a semi custom barrel so even if I say 1 in 9, or god forbid 1 in 12 it will turn out to be 1 in 8. I'm stickin' with 1 in 7. As good a guess as any.

I don't know what it is, no - but I intend to find out. The bullets seemed pretty damn stable at 150yds though, so I think it was matched well with the ammo I was using.

I would still like to know what kind of rings are holding the tasco scope to the rifle.
