Retailer???
You mean career jammer! Going soft or what devil dog?![]()
Oh, and the USMC marked scopes in the marketplace are no longer available, I tried. Regardless I am not paying almost double just for 8 characters inscribed on the eyepiece.
C'mon, it's a more than just 8 characters.There were about a half dozen of the NSN marked M8541 scopes for sale on the internet last summer between roughly $3k to $6k. The non-NSN marked scopes have cropped up from time to time from $2.5k to over $6k.

Your build is coming along beautifully. I can't believe how quickly it has progressed, and can hardly wait for the range reports to come in. Beautiful!
So with the rifle coming in around a week, I am planning on doing a detailed photo analysis of the rifle for those that would like to do as accurate a clone as possible. With that in mind, if there are any measurements or pictures of specific things on the rifle let me know. My intention is to add all this to the first post in the thread. Gonna be a long week.
You read my mind!!
Pic of all markings
Pic of barrel channel from top
Pic of action out of stock
Depth and width of flat bottom of crown before pull back
Also- did they single point the action to true it or clean it up on a manson kit?
Thanks!
Manson Reamers used to square the lugs and face to the centerline of the action and threads opened up to 1.0625 + .010"
This thing is going in the test rack next week, I know its screaming to be shot and Scott has an itchy trigger finger I'm sure.
Just got back from Quantico today. Spoke with my 2112 about your build. Allot of good things said about your builder and your rifle... You will be highly pleased with your stick brother.
Just so you know....when they measure groups. They measure the "outer" diameter of the group not center to center of bullet impact so your guns groups are actually tighter from the prospective of how most measure.....Just a little info for ya.
Rifle went through function and accuracy testing yesterday. It averaged 2.96 for 35 rounds at 300m with very gusty inconsistent cross winds. I was told that grouping was around 1" vertical and 2.75" horizontal which is consistent with crappy wind conditions. I am more than happy with that and I am sure in ideal conditions it will put one on top of another. I will have the rifle Wednesday of next week![]()

Sounds like a good start. What regiment of a shoot/clean etc barrel break-in procedure was used prior to/during this 35 round shooting groups accuracy testing?
