Nice looking rifle. I bet it light.
At first glance, I thought you were standing on a sombrero.
Update to my 16" 300 Blackout. Buddy helped me mill out the McMillan A1-3 for a Badger EFR. It set overnight with Devcon. Lines up with with a clip on.

Lots of intersting history with the XM3. Location looks pretty awesome too. Looks like a good place to settle in watch the world implode.
18" 6.5 creedmoor setup for a older classic look. Will be a great light weight deer rifle.
This deserves a post here too.

AnTi X / HNT26 in its 16” 338 Fed. configuration. Prefit barrels are addicting.
I’m wanting to do this, but in .223. Looks badass.
And what does it weigh? I know somebody is gonna ask, might as well be me.

7 lbs even with the NXS 2.5-10x32 and the 16” barrel. 7 lbs 5 oz with the 18” 6.5 bbl and NXS 2.5-10x42
28”
Prefits are awesome. And addicting. When the HNT 26 isn’t trying to be all short and cute, it identifies as a long range killer.

8 lbs 12 oz w/suppressor.
The b/a I posted a few days back in my Manners folder has now returned to its owner. Looks pretty badass in the Whiskey!
18" Dasher from PVA on Bighorn TL3.
My old go-to was wearing a 28” 6 Creed barrel. It was a little much for hunting, so I spun up a 16.5” .308 with a Krieger blank I had on hand. It’s still ridiculously heavy, I’ll have to lighten it some when season goes out.
Just picked up my 18" Krag- Jorgensen sporter in 6.5x55 Swedish from the gunsmith on the way home from the VFW this afternoon.
This was one of the few made under Nazi occupation during the WWII. (About 3,000 per the Forgotten Weapons video IIRC) Anyhow, it's a bit rough with visible machine marks and all. Cycles smooth though. Understandably... I can't imagine the Norwegians being all that enthusiastic about producing weapons for the krauts. This example had been sporterized long ago, and that brings back memories, because back when I was growing up... that was popular. I loved the wood on this one, (it just looks right) and I have always been curious about the action type so I snapped it up seeing as it wasn't too costly. I also liked the adjustable rear target sight, but not the funky brake cut into a sleave that was silver soldered onto the roughly 20" (ish) barrel. Removing that, however, also cost me the front sight. I just told my gunsmith to put whatever was tall enough that he had laying around. The end of the barrel didn't look too great, so I had it cut to 18" and a Surefire FS put on. I like the ramped sight much more anyhow. Glad he had one tall enough. OK, he actually has a damn box of front sights... lol. Been working on guns for decades.
Should be a nice truck gun.

Been itching to get a 30-40 krag for sometime. Beautiful rifle. It being in 6.5x55 swede is even nicer.
I've always been interested in the action type and side loading of them.
Throw a round in the ejection port and close the bolt. Place the weapon on safe.
Pull open the trap door on the side & dump in 5 loose rounds. Slap close.
There you go... 6 rounds of a decent cartridge, in a fast, smooth (only one big lug) bolt gun.

I've been thinking about buying one of those too ever since I saw them on brownells lol. And i too am in Corpus and would like for hunting haha.
Did you go through and buy it yet?
16" @christensenarms MPR in 6mm ARC with an AGM Rattler TS50-640 Thermal, and an OCL Hydrogen-S 7.62 can.
Heard that the Ruger American makes a good little truck gun in 5.56.
I guess we shall soon see...

Need to figure out a foam situation and cut it all to fit.
Sixteen-inch RGSC with stock spacers and muzzle brake removed. Rattle-can paint. Weigand 20MOA mount and USO TS12 in trash rings (I ordered some decent rings). I tried a Burris Scout scope and found that it works but basically sucks so I reconfigured the rifle to this.
Does your TS12 have a lot of edge distortion at low magnification? I had one and returned it because at low mag it was almost like a fisheye lense outside of the center of view. I did like everything about it for the price though, and I haven't seen that in any reviews, so I'm kinda of curious if I got a lemon.
Kelbly Atlas with a 18” Bartlein 1:8 Rem Varmint 7mm-08.
Manners T6a elite shell
Triggertech special
PTG stealth
Scope is still enroute and future plan is to put it on a diet by swapping out the stock as it’s future is mostly a truck/hunting rifle.
