Magwa Posted December 19, 2022 Report Posted December 19, 2022 I can get you a nightforce they are built right here in town.... but I would take a hard look at the trijicon ten mile and the vortex Razor HD both in a 5 to 25 power...
DNP Posted December 19, 2022 Report Posted December 19, 2022 To keep with the theme…what do you have manufactured in Canada?

Unless it's super cheap, it's easier to buy up here. Single item export permit and ITAR is a pain on serialized goods. Didn't think about the Trijicon so thanks for that tip. 13 hours ago, DNP said: To keep with the theme…what do you have manufactured in Canada? The Chassis is from MDT made here in BC. MDT also makes various accesories such as scope rings and bipods. The barrel is made by International Barrel Inc just down the road from MDT. The Trigger Tech trigger comes from back easy in Ontario. The action is made for EM Precision( Canadian gun builder) by Curtis out of Texas to EM's specs. EM makes pretty much most of the Canadian King of the 2 Mile guns and for guys like Rob Furlong( held record from Mar 2022- Nov 2009 for 2475M[2706yds] confirmed sniper kill)
DNP Posted December 20, 2022 Report Posted December 20, 2022 Yeah, I followed all that earlier. You gonna find CAN glass to go on that beast too? Gotta try at least. Or maybe it’s time for some gaucho in it?
98Z5V Posted December 20, 2022 Report Posted December 20, 2022 I vote Athlon. for the glass. One of these 2 right here, depends on what reticle you prefer. https://athlonoptics.com/product/cronus-btr-gen2-uhd-4-5-29x56-aprs1-ffp-ir-mil/ https://athlonoptics.com/product/cronus-btr-gen2-uhd-4-5-29x56-aprs6-ffp-ir-mil/ If you're SuperGay, you could do this one, but I wouldn't recommend it that much. Eh, personal preference and all... I get it... https://athlonoptics.com/product/cronus-btr-gen2-uhd-4-5-29x56-aplr5-ffp-ir-moa/

Granted it's a small study sample but... The nicest scope I currently have is a Nikon Black FX 6-24x50
shooterrex Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 To shoot distance a 34mm tube gives you more adjustment than a 30mm.
Cunuckgaucho Posted February 2, 2023 Author Report Posted February 2, 2023 So progress is a bit slow as we're into Feb now, seems between Christmas and SHOT Show it's slowed things down. On the plus side glass has been choosen and I'm going with the Apex Rival with MDT scope mount. Now to get the serial number and update my Form6, some of the first shots will likely take place at the Spring Shoot

Cunuckgaucho Posted February 25, 2023 Author Report Posted February 25, 2023 So update time The bad- rifle will not be coming to spring shoot , it will be done just before but I don't want it in shipping transit and arriving while I'm away and paperwork will not be done in time. Up here guns are mailed straight to our residences The good- once it arrives I not only file the rifle paperwork but adding handguns to the list seeing as I can still bring them back and forth( they also dropped the stupid reimportation fee per pistol).I'll also have time to work up some loads for the rifle.

Magwa Posted March 18, 2023 Report Posted March 18, 2023 Damn that is one sweet looking Rifle I love the chassis
DNP Posted March 19, 2023 Report Posted March 19, 2023 When does 98 get to paint it? And when do we get more than teasers? You’re still fondling it, aren’t you…
98Z5V Posted March 19, 2023 Report Posted March 19, 2023 That sexy bitch better bang a mile. Or it goes in the dumpster. I'm just sayin'.... I'll paint that motherfucker tomorrow, if he ships it down. Otherwise, he better show up early for the Fall, to get it painted in time to blow primers...

98Z5V Posted March 19, 2023 Report Posted March 19, 2023 That IS a sexy motherfucker, right there, Eric - don't change a thing. Still goes in the dumpster if you don't bang the Mile with it... You do you - make it happen...
DNP Posted March 19, 2023 Report Posted March 19, 2023 The green and grey does look good…I just thought we might be going red and white to keep with the theme. Damn fine looking stick - well done.
unforgiven Posted March 19, 2023 Report Posted March 19, 2023 That rifle and scope combo is badass brother 🍻🍻 I likey 😗
