Is that with the scope pictured, or without?

What is the muzzle diameter on that barrel?

Thanks Guys. These are the only rifles I use anymore. They're always in the truck.

With the scope. I'll put them on the scale and see how close my guess is.
The muzzle diameter is .780".

The .308 is threaded with a cap, but the .223 isn't.

That was a fun night of shooting. 200 yards and small rocks....as long as you could keep the GAP guys distracted, you had a chance to hit them....

Re: RANCH Rifle from BlackOps Precision

Super sweet little rig Mike! I am slowly turning to a way of lighter is better these days. After you're done with Tammys .223 I might just have to look into a Ranch rifle or slightly tweeked version of it.

I'm really digging this rifle!

Now get back to work.........

Thanks Todd....Anymore, I carry light, handy rifles. The next RANCH Rifle I do will have the BUIS system on it.
 
Re: RANCH Rifle from BlackOps Precision

Nice pics, Mike. That was a fun time getting to shoot these guys, the 223 was a nice tool for poking holes right next to each other and shooting the rocks.

We did a pretty good job of augmenting the sand piles that night with fresh rock dust.

Great, handy little rifle. I'd be proud to own one someday. Nice work!

I sorta forgot about this thread until someone reminded me of it a day or so ago.

We have the components in stock to roll these out now. The info will be up on the website next week.

Re: RANCH Rifle from BlackOps Precision

Man, those are badass little rifles. I'd build mine right at 17" threaded, fluted, loaded with 155 Scenars. Nothing you couldn't handle with that setup. Super tempting....

Thanks ZL. I'll be doing a couple 16.5" RANCH .308's pretty soon.

They're sold, but I can easily pull components for an additional one to run at the same time.
 
Re: RANCH Rifle from BlackOps Precision

Although I like barrels to be a tad longer (22"), this is what a bolt rifle should be for all purpose use! I for the life of me don't understand luggin around a 17 lb. pig anymore. We need many more like this, great work!

Re: RANCH Rifle from BlackOps Precision

Tag for pictures of the 16.5" barreled versions.

Also what stock does that closely resemble as far as fit. I love the looks of it but I am curious how it shoulders and feels?

All I can say as that is pretty close to my ideal perfect rifle for 99% of the things I do. Great job

Thanks Frankr. The RANCH stock is similar in numerous ways to the MCS-T and the A-1, but it has a shorter Forend and the comb is a bit higher. It's specific to right handed and left handed shooters based on the palm swell and the leading area of the comb and thumb relief.

I'll post up pics of the 16.5" in about two weeks.
 
Re: RANCH Rifle from BlackOps Precision

Mike, pleasure meeting you yesterday.
The more I think about it, this may be exactly what I want as configured. I'll be in touch soon about the details, maybe I can get in on this run...

Give Tim a call next time your on the right coast if you have time and we can shoot some more while your here!

Pleasure meeting you as well Travis and I'll let you guys know when I'm coming back. My Son had a great time shooting Tim's rifle, so I'm sure he's game as well.

I'll shoot you a PM when I finish the 16.5" RANCH. If you like, I'll ship it out to you for a few days if you want to try it out....

Sorry for the teaser, not a Rancher but another Mike Bush master piece. Meet Olivia.</div></div>

That's one of my favorite rifles Todd. Glad we could do another one for you.

I dont mind if you start calling these "biebers"! awsome rifles brother, I for one know how utilitarian these really are, personally believe everyone needs at least one 16-17 inch .308

That would be great, I look forward to the PM!

When you come back I will make sure my son is with me. They would probably have a good time shooting together.

Thanks Veej and I've always been a fan of short rifles. The 20" JAEGER (300WM) has performed extremely well with impressive velocities and I'm working on other short platforms as well, but as far as the truck gun goes, the "Bieber-esque" rifles are pretty awesome.

Thanks Travis....I'll give you guys plenty of heads-up. I'm sitting in the BWI airport right now waiting to board and working on completing the design that we discussed. I'll try to get something prototyped sooner than later....
