And the latest (and probably last) build...for my oldest son...
Digging the Aero sniper green lower. (He likes green which is why I ordered it). I had some other green furniture to go with, but the ODG magpul stuff is way different so left this mostly black. Should have taken the photo outside...the green is much more green than this dark picture.
I used a Palmetto State complete upper and PSA lower build kit with an Aero stripped lower.
$544 gun (no sights) before the upgrades: Optic, backup-up sights, trigger, stock, sling, ext mag release, loop endplate sling mount, bolt catch release..
$806 with all the goodies added. Going to add a angled fore-grip for another $17, then she's done.
Sighted in this weekend. Very happy with it. This has the PSA "EPT" enhanced polished trigger - which is fantastic for a very very budget trigger. I have bought several on sale for $39 (usually $89 I think)
If you go PSA - get one with the EPT trigger.
This is a very good mid range gun IMO:

Also, I have been VERY happy with this red dot sight on at least 5-6 of my guns. It's good for on target out to about 100 yds. I mean it works beyond that, but any red dot has limitations at range, but it sure makes it easy to hit 4" steel at 50yds every time.
