My rifle is in line at Outkast arms to get the Melivn treatment. In the meantime I’ve got some decisions to make.
First is scope mounting, I mailed off my NXS 2.5-10x42 to be mounted with the scope so the bolt handle can be tweaked around the ocular if needed. The 3 off the shelf options for scope mounting are Talley lightweights, Talley pic rail and whatever rings, or Talley steel base and rings. The other option is have Outkast make some custom bases to whatever spec I want. Looking for the strongest, lowest, lightest and some room to move rings fore and aft. Would I be wrong In assuming a 2 piece weaver base would check the most boxes? I’m somewhat worried about Talley lightweight reliability. The pic rail would mount the scope pretty high I’d assume and Talley steel rings and bases are HEAVY.
Next is barrel length and thread pitch for a suppressor. Rifle is a 7mag and will retain oem barrel. Outkast thought longest would be 23.5 for 1/2x28 or probably at least cut to 20” for 5/8x24. Also trying to decide on direct thread or griffin taper mount. (Can is griffin explorr) Griffin taper mount ez brake is 1/2x28 30cal and all models are listed as 2oz. Direct thread is lighter but taper mount gives extra blast chamber in break to protect can. I’m leaving towards 22” 1/2x28 with that griffin brake.
