Hi all.
Brit expat in the US, permanent resident now. Got my first pistol this year (Sig P226 legion) and am now building up a compliant ‘featureless’ rifle. We own about 7 acres in ulster county, NY. Lot of deer, bear, wild turkeys running around. Occasional timber rattlesnake and copperhead. Ticks. Britain doesnt have this kind of wildlife. You guys are nuts for putting up with it ;p
it’ll be a long time before I’m a competent shot; I’m left eye dominant, right handed, and last shot in the cadets 20 years ago. So ;p
Hoping to learn something by skulking around here. First order of business for me is working out what I do to get good height and eye relief on my LPVO - to be compliant I’m building a fightlite SCR with proof carbon barrel. The SCR has a low ‘monte carlo’ bolt style stock on an AR compatible lower.
Figure I can either use loooow badger rings, or get a single piece platform which is higher but will give me offset from the upper without bridging to the handguard, and then use accu-riser or similar padding on the stock to raise my cheek weld. We’ll see. Probably go for the riser.
Anyhow. That’;s it for me. 223 for now, and if all works out enjoyable perhaps I’ll build a valkyrie or creedmor bolt action next year ;p
Cheers,
Matt
