Fabsroman,
I have a 10T with two uppers, a 308 factory SS barrel, green furniture with a Springfield Armory Gen III scope. I also have a Medesha 260 upper with a SS, 1-8 twist, fluted, Kreager barrel. The 260 sports a 4x16x56 Hakko MPZ, military and police tactical scope.

The 308, first time out, shot .502 inch groups at 100 with 42 grains of H4198 under a 168 Hornady BTHP for 2517 fps. Once I got POA to coincide with POI, the Springfield scope shot point of aim out to 500 yards with a 4 inch group at 500 in a cross wind of about 20 K .

The 260, first time out shot .130 inch groups at 100 with the 120 Sierra MK. Load was a very hot 48 gr of H414 under the Sierra. All loads are .003 off.

Both configurations are fairly heavy.

I do not care much for the trigger, it comes pretty gritty and is much heavier than I am use to.
