Re: Rem's New Rifle

I wish I had an extra USO on the shelf to throw on a 10-22. Your son is one lucky little guy.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

A USO on a 10-22?? Thats.... Thats... Thats amazing!

 

[macman2564]

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Yes, yes.... that is a USO 3.8-22x<span style="font-size: 14pt">58</span>!! on a 10/22. I figured what the hell. It felt good and balanced on there and it looks kind of cool.

Plus it gives me an excuse to get another USO!!

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Great lookin 10/22!

I suddenly dont feel so bad for strappin an USO ST-10 to my 40X.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

I would never feel bad about putting good glass on any rifle if it is available!!

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Holly SHIT,,, thats nice why do I get the feeling he'll never see it.

 

[macman2564]

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Thanks guys. He will see it alright. I have already told myself this one is sticking around for a while.... well at least until he gets tired of it!

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Re: Rem's New Rifle

A very nice set up. Congratulations.

Reminded me of the Patek Philippes'commercial that "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation."

Now I wont feel so bad for going to put a NF on my 10/22.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

That is a nice setup, he is a lucky boy.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

how much did that gun cost?
and the scope...

 

[macman2564]

Re: Rem's New Rifle

I figure with all of the parts to build it new would run about a grand, however, if you just wait things tend to pop up and you can get them significantly cheaper. I really have only around $600 or so in the rifle.

The scope on the other hand is a different story all together.....I think new the scope cost me almost 5X the price of the rifle. You can do the math. But you get what you pay for I guess.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Guys, I bedded the reciever and and part of the barrel the other day and let me tell you this thing shoots!! I ran a bunch of different ammo through it from bulk ammo to the expensive match ammo and this thing performed well with it all. I did all of the shooting from 75 yards with an atlas and rear bag since the SN3 wouldn't focus any shorter than that.

Here is one of the last targets. I wish I would have kept more but didn't. All were 10 round groups. These are far from the best groups, too!

Re: Rem's New Rifle

My buddy walked into a Wal Mart that was selling out of firearms and had them all heavily discounted. His son was with him, about 1-1/2 at the time. The kid was born in 2006 so he asked the young guy behind the counter what they had in 30-06. The guy handed over a Savage, my buddy held it to his kid who did not look interested.
"He didn't like that one," buddy replied. "Try another".
Salesman handed over a Remington, kid was all smiles.
"We'll take it," buddy replied.
"Wait, you're seriously buying a rifle for your one-year-old?" Salesman asked.
"Yes."
"Will you adopt me?"
"No, you're ugly. Now ring it up."

My oldest is 3, I've started to think about a winter project to make a gun for her.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Which is why you don't put a USO on a 10/22. Its like having a Ferrari on a desert island... it looks cool but you can't use it.

Great looking little gun! With that KIDD barrel, try some Federal GM Match, Eley Tenex or Lapua Midas. Those are what shoots best in mine but your results may vary.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Nice shooting but why the $2850 and up scope on a $600 rifle?

 

[dontstrokeme]

Re: Rem's New Rifle

So you threaded the factory reciever?

Ahhhaaaa you meant the muzzle is threaded?

 

[macman2564]

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Thanks guys.

The 3.8-22 was the only scope I had available at that moment. I have an ST-10 on it now. It wasn't really a problem shooting at that distance anyway. I see no point in boring myself at 25 and 50 yards anyway.

I didn't thread a factory reciever. Just used the V block.

 

[macman2564]

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Yep the barrel is threaded. I see what you meant now.

Re: Rem's New Rifle

Oh yeah and I had Murphy Precision make a custom rail for the front of the stock for my atlas.

A little bit newer pic.
