    <span style="font-weight: bold">2012 Sniper's Hide Rifle Build by Spartan Precision Rifles</span>

    We are moving forward with the 2012 Sniper's Hide Rifle build, and here is the initial look at what we are doing.

    A limited run of 25 rifles, marked and numbered, built by Marc Soulie of Spartan Precision Rifles.

    Bighorn Action,

    AJ Goddard from Bighorn has completed all 25 receivers for us.

    Bartlein is doing the barrels,

    Manners the stock

    Surgeon the Bottom Metal

    This build will be different from the past, Sniper's Hide will be the point of contact for the built. I am taking personal responsibility, working with the manufacturers so they only have to deal with me. I am guaranteeing this build and will be accountable for it's completion.

    Here are the actions as seen today by me:

    The stock will be using is the new Manners Folder, however if a buyer wants the matching fix version that will also be possible.

    This is a Short Action build only, however the buyer can spec caliber, 6mm to 308, the barrel length is up the user, the contour has been chosen for you. Any muzzle device beyond a single point thread will have to be user supplied.

    We are looking at the folder being approximately $3850, although I have to check my numbers to be sure.

    Before the week ends I will have finalized the details, and will have an order form ready. I anticipate at least a $2850 deposit when ordering opens. As I stated in the beginning, I will be the coordinating party on this, and the site will be the sole point of responsibility.

    Thunder Beast Arms Corp is going to offer matching suppressors to these rifles (#1-#25), with markings on the suppressor to match, at a discount of an additional 10% off MSRP.

    AJ is one of our close shooting buddies and his actions are awesome.

    A 30P-1 or 30BA would be a great addition to the 2012 SHR. We can ship the 30BA brakes directly to S.P.R.

    The contours are a Remington light varmint similar to the Gladius spec.

    Zak

    That is awesome, I think giving guys the option to get a matching TBAC Suppressor with matching number and markings is great !

    I will write that in the official release.

    A Bighorn SA/Bartlein/Manners build from Marc? It's going to be a great build!

    Awesome! Finally its out there. I was at Marcs shop when he got the call from Frank about this project. Marc swore me to secrecy and I held out, barely

    I just wish I could get in on this. This is going to be a legit build by a great 'smith and overall great guy. Fear not, this won't be like that other fiasco.

    Congrats to Marc.

    What a deal, what a steal! Congrats, Marc AND to those of you who get in on this build. As an owner of a Spartan "laser stick", I can assure you that you will NOT be disappointed. Unless I miss my guess, the rifles will shoot better than MOST of the buyers! Gives ya something to look forward to tho, huh? Only down side is those of us poor SOB's in Kommiefornia that know Marc and are nearby will now have to wait while this gets done! Marc Soule......makin chips and gettin honed! lol

    OK, I know what Hospitaller means but what's a Special-er? Is this gonna be a rifle for the short-bus door gunner?

    This is a great list of parts, being built by an awesome builder. Surly worth every penny. The addition of a matching TB suppressor really puts it over the top. Congrats to all involved, and to all the fortunate enough to actually own one of these rifles.

    I echo what STR stated. Been shooting two of AJ's actions for a couple years, over 5000rds on them. Excellent action, built by a great guy.

    Awesome.
    Frank, I know you did your homework on this before proceeding and it shows.

    Looks like a really unique package with premium components and you could not have picked a better guy for the builds. Marc is on top of his game and I know all the new owners will be pleased. Rock and roll.

    Thanks for all of the kind words guys and thank you Frank for choosing me to do this project.

    Once this starts and I have all of the parts here I will focus on this and only this until they are all complete. The buyers will get a top quality rifle at a good price with a quick turn around time.

    Frank, Much respect for doing this after the last build. I don't know if the respect of a know nothing, done nothing means a lot, but you have mine.

    What a great bunch of parts, and an excellent gunsmith. These rifles are going to be awesome. I think the floating bolt head is will prove unusually good.

    Yes, Huber trigger.

    Do you have the $$? If so, I would say you have as much opportunity as the next guy.

    Yes, even a nobody like you can get in on this.
    Just be one of the 1st to sign up and have the $$ to pay. This is 'merica after all. All of our green backs are the same.
