Took it out to the range today for a basic function and various types of Ammo test. The only thing I changed on the upper was the charging handle because I prefer a Ambi.
At 100 yards, it was 39 degrees out and the wind was 10-15mph with 20-25mph gusts. The humidity was low and the shy was clear and sunny. I mounted a Vortex 1-6x24 Strike Eagle and shot everything at a power of between 3 and 4. I used a Diamond Site-in Target and the crosshairs completely covered each diamond from 100yds.
From the bench, I shot the following:
Federal 55gr average 2.5” groups
Federal Match 69gr shot the best at .77” (worst 1.21”)
Remington 77gr Match vertical strung a bit around 2.5”- 2.75”
Finally I shot some Hornady 75gr match around 2.75-3.5” groups
All in all this is a great upper to shoot. It has the potential to shoot even better when I mount a precision scope on it and can actually see what I am shooting!
The best part is that the BCG is very clean.
The worst part is that you have to remove the entire handguard to clean the piston system.

Anywhere else, but OP!
No kidding! Just because it’s a few years old. The deal which OP offers for the 1-6x24 is phenomenal!!
Packaged with the Trybe Defense 2x magnifier, you will save almost $150! Plus! Now you will have a 2-12x40 if needed. It’s a no brainer!
I also purchased the 1-8 from OP and I am so glad to have both. They get the job done well and have the lifetime warranty from Vortex!

I’ve been wanting a PDW brace for a while and when I saw that planet optics was running a sale for $197, plus 5% off, I knew it was time to go for it! They usually run $239 and it’s rare to see it in sale.
My brace came in just a few days and looks and performs flawlessly. You can find my video review on my Warthog71 YT channel.
