What height UM rings did you go with?

What height UM rings did you go with?

30mm Low. They fit me perfectly, but actually eliminated the need for an adjustable cheek riser!

Added a light to the back yard gun. No more balancing a hand held.

what is the sight on it, if you do not mind?

Looks like an eotech 512

That’s just an eo tech red dot. 50 yard coons, fox, chipmunks, porcupines are about all it sees.

Back to the top…

First paint job was too dark, too brown to me. So I sourced another stock and tried again. Much happier this time

Original paint is the dark brown color above. The second attempt below just looks better to me

Rustoleum Stone granite. I bought it from Amazon. Sanded lightly just to rough up, wiped down with mineral spirits, primed, 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of satin clear

CTR .260 20” on the left in the obligatory KRG Bravo topped with a Burris XTR III and TPS 34 mm low rings. Chose to stay with the CTR mags that fit really well and feed flawlessly in the Bravo. RSS .223 on the right cut and threaded at 18”. Riding in a Ceracoated factory stock I hogged out to free float the barrel even more. Mountain Tactical bottom metal and factory Tikka 6 round mag. Having the vertical grip done up to match currently. Aiming device is a NF 3-10 attached with UM 30mm lows. It drew blood for the first time tonite actually on a hill country coyote. 77 gr TMK bout took her head off…Run a first gen Silencerco Hybrid 46 with a .30 cal end cap and ASR mount on both.
Both rifles sling lasers. Really been bitten by the Tikka bug.

My latest one, shot it for the first time today and she’s showing great promise right off the bat with factory ammo. All around a great combo. 24” proof prefit 7prc, 5 port ti pro brake, rokstock with the arca/pic rail, and bushnell 4-18 lrhs

15 round group with factory 180eld m

What tripod?

 

[Packmansion]

300 wsm .200 fb 1:8 twist 20" length preferred barrel blanks
tikka roughtech ember stock
Vortex venom 3-15 ffp ($369 on optics planet crazy good value)
Talley 34mm medium (unfortunately they dont make low 34mm..)
Will be using moutain tactical long magnum mags.
Will be running supressed, hoping the 20" doesnt handicap too much but im not going over 20" on a hunting rifle.

 

[brushape]

What tripod?

It is a sirui st124 I believe, it’s a great tripod but the head is a bit undersized for a rifle but can work in a pinch

Did some testing today for poi shift from the flush end cap versus the 5" reflex of my ab raptor 10. To my surprise I didn't observe any noticeable shift. The gun was zeroed with the flush end cap, today's zero check was in the 5" reflex (Big Black Can mode). In bbc mode it's 8lbs 8oz.



Only thing left is the rokstok.
