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> Wash

Fantastic 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.

Hi Pdf

I really do like the trx's ....ive got three...two on the 308's and one on a 6.8. They are light and easy to grip

Regards Wash

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.

looking good brah! All those hard research and part contemplating will pay off once you're done with the build :D!

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.

hey calegalish, nice build sheet, sweet looking rig, i got this one for :stfu2: robo <lmao>

Robocop1051 · January 24, 2012

Crap! I don't know what's worse. Admitting I was an asshole, or admitting edgecrusher was right about something.

calegalish · 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.

ok these pictures are not acceptable. When this beauty is complete I expect quality photos for the main site...please ;D

Haha. sounds good. Don't even have a tracking number yet.

Robocop1051 · 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.

Take a look at this

soofley · January 26, 2012

whoops this one has deleted link >:(

edgecrusher · January 26, 2012

Robocop1051 · January 26, 2012

Very nice! <thumbsup>

Are you planning on a comp or a brake?

planeflyer21 · January 26, 2012

Muy bueno, Soofley!

soofley · 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.
