pdc Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Guys Here's mega #2 she's called black beauty <laughs> I know...but it wasnt me doing the naming identical build cept for the rainier barrel replacing the dpms sass barrel ,and a geislie super speed enhanced trigger replacing the RR national match.... this geislie is a big letdown it costs more than twice as much and ill bet you a dollar to a doughnut you couldnt tell the diff in a blind test! took two shots to center the scope at 100 then off to two hundred for some break in....this rifle doesnt weigh hardly anymore than my 6.8"s and over 5 lbs lighter than lil blackie! the rainier barrel and their customer service is topnotch! <thumbsup> WashFantastic looking rig! How do you like the Troy TRX? I got the Troy MRF for mine and have decided it's a little heavy. Thinking about selling it to buy the 12in TRX.

pdc Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for the info. I've got the VTAC Ext version on my 6.8 and like it a lot. I'll be looking into the TRX soon. Got to get the $$$ and borrow a receiver vice block and barrel wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soofley Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 looking good brah! All those hard research and part contemplating will pay off once you're done with the build :D! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Great looking rifle!Honestly though, with that much rifle are you ever going to shoot <100 yards? Why limit yourself with that scope? Save yourself the $250+ from the Troy BUIS and get a bigger scope. You have the workings to shoot at the max range of the bullet, except you won't be able to see that far at 18x. With a bit more magnification you could do 1k-1200 with no problem at all. BUIS, especially with Tritium, are a necessity for a battle rifle. When your rifle tips the scale near 20# all decked out and geared up, your "battle" options are limited. The whole point of BUIS is that you need to quickly aim and your primary sights are down.... Is that really needed?On the other hand, Troy DiOptic sights are sexy and cool. You would be totally justified in saying, "shut your mouth Robocop. I like them and I want them." That's actually enough justification for me.

edgecrusher Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 hey calegalish, nice build sheet, sweet looking rig, i got this one for :stfu2: robo <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Crap! I don't know what's worse. Admitting I was an asshole, or admitting edgecrusher was right about something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calegalish Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Crap! I don't know what's worse. Admitting I was an center of uranus, or admitting edgecrusher was right about something.Probably both. Nah, actually you do have a point about the BUIS. So what scope do ya'll think I should put on this rifle? Not looking to cross the $2k mark so USO and S&B are out. Oh and I have a 1000y range not far from my house that I will be frequenting.

Robocop1051 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Iron sights are nice, but I don't think you'd ever use them. You'd enjoy putting that money into an upgraded scope. With all that rifle, I doubt you would ever turn a 3-18 below 9x, and you'd be pissed when trying to ring steel at 1K with only 18x.

soofley Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 cheers guys... ETA 2 weeks before i can take it to the range.Robo, I went with Battlecomp's BABC. I really wanted the FSC30 but i didn't want the extra decibel it screams out since i usually shoot in the range with other shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
