Very nice, let us know how it shoots.

GREAT JOB!

Great looking rifle you have there

I have an Aimpoint CompM4 on my 308 but will be looking for a scope soon. I'm new to the scope world and have been reading good reviews on the Leupold brands.

The AFG says "1x red dot" like an Aimpoint.

But, the PRS stock says "long range scope", like a Night Force.

That rifle is just purty... Does that run into the $2k range? (Just an idea of what I could fork over to build one similar... Love the color...)

I know...I had the AFG laying around and decided to throw it on. Maybe this will get the 5.5-22x56 and the 6.5G will get a shiny new 12-42x56...

I have about $1900 into as you see here...but I think you would be hard pressed to recreate at that price. Retail pricing is as about $2900. I have developed a nose for cheap parts...I was referred to as a 'horsetrader' at FNS by some fellow board members, lol.

good looking rifle. How'd you photoshop the cute redhead into the picture with it? She doesn't even look like she's workin' holding that up.

Thats my little two year old. She is built from my stock!

 

[22collector]

That's a fine looking piece of weapondry...makes me want to start looking for parts...and someone who knows how to put them together! I felt proud of myself for putting the new ATI Fiberforce stock in my old Marlin 75 this evening.

scope

The Super Sniper Scopes offered by SWFA are very very nice. The have very good quailty only down fall is fixed power. But IMO very nice scope. And one SWEET SWEET rifle you have. Can anybody say jealous!!!!!!

 

[cigarman454]

WOW! That is one AWESOME looking rifle.

Knowing you, this I believe!! ^^ LOL


But I'm the same way,

Very nice rifle!! I like the color I've never seen a receiver set colored like that before. Definitely sets it apart from other AR's. I"m looking forward to a range report.

and for optics I think your idea works out pretty well, using the lower powered NF you have and putting a new one on the 6.5.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Thanks for all the kind words. Bought a used Leupy CQ/T today....may have to put it on here before it goes to rest on the .458.

 

[dmorrow23]

I just bought an AR-15 and an AR-10 seems to be next on my list, very nice gun.

 

[slow1911s]

Nice.

Put an adjustable rear sight on, then an A2 front sight all the way out the the end of the barrel, behind the comp.
