Good afternoon, below is a picture of my new .308 rifle that I built/spec'ed through lurking Sniper's hide and a couple questions. It was a three year labor of love with aid from the awesome folks of GAP and US Optics.
Specs:
Remington 700 Short Action, .308. Bartlein #7 Contour, 20" 1:10 twist.
Threaded Barrel (5/8X24), in a McMillan A5 Marbled Stock (60 Dark Green, 20 medium Tan, and 20 Medium Brown)
Badger detachable Mag, finished in Flat Dark Earth
US Optics SN-3 ERGO
44mm Low Profile, Reticle CMG MOA, Knobs E/W: US#1 1/4 MOA
Reticle Lighting Type: Digital Push Button (Green)
Low 30mm Scope Rings.
Finished in Flat Dark Earth
Bag: Eberlestock Drag bag.
Not pictured: 44MM ARAD
Comments
I ordered the rifle in February, expecting to pick it up in December when I PCS'ed back stateside from Japan. Well, Tracy contacted me in August to let me know it was done, a day after I learned I would be extended till April. They were nice enough to hold on to the rifle for me in the interim, until I could pick it up last week.
US Optics was equally awesome. I wanted to color match the Scope rings to the Scope, and had no luck finding them any where, to include the USOPTICS website. Turns out, after a hopeful email, I learned a phone call during office hours could get their black Scope Rings cerakoted to match the scope.
Thanks to all, and let this be considered as a testament to what can be done by searching the forum before rehashing questions.
