Re: SPECTER-BABR Preview from Underground Skunkwor

Looks amazing !

Curious if there are any optic mounts with a see-through channel to let you use the BUIS with the optic still attached, like some of the M1A mounts ? Or would that just lead to really high mounting and an awkward head position ?

Thanks EBR. The only scenario that the irons are meant to be used with the optic is co-witnessing with the front sight while in CC mode on the Short Dot (or using the lower end power range with other optics)for close quarters target engagement. A see through mount for this application doesn't exist and wouldn't lend well to proper cheek weld. There are a few other possibilities for the irons if the NV Mount is reversed for mounting a SCOUT scope.

That is one slick iron sight setup. Good job thinking out of the box on that one. That is what the Steyr Scout rifle wanted to be.

For 90% of the matches and hunting in N. America...that could be the first and last rifle anyone needed to buy.

Keep up the good work Skunkworks.

Respectfully,

That looks really handy and it is beautifully designed. Which one piece base did you use with that set up?

Interesting cause that looks like something that would come out of the Defiance Machine shop, prob ought to give credit where it is due. Don't ya think? They are the shop that produces the actions aren't they?

WOW! Your first post and you threw caution to the wind!

Why don't you start by filling out your profile and then you can tell me what you think you know about my company. It's certainly no secret who makes my actions and there is evidence of that all over this forum and my website.

If you have a valid point to make or can bring something to this post that is "adult" in nature, feel free to stick around. If your intent is to offer absolutely nothing and trash a post just to get your post count up so you can sell something; go somewhere else.

Re: SPECTER-BABR Preview from Underground Skunkwor

I was reading up on your website about this rifle and I noticed you talked about a proprietary folding stock for this set up. Do you have any images of this? And how much would the weight change roughly with the addition of this option?

I don't yet have any photos to display and I expect the stock to be available closer to year end. The rifle will likely be a bit heavier than the mostly Carbon Fiber stock pictured on the website and here.

Re: SPECTER-BABR Preview from Underground Skunkwor

Im 110% sure that you've put together my dream bolt-action rifle.

I would order one right now if only my budget was double what it is. Haha.

Maybe sometime next year I'll sell a kidney.

I bet that thing is a blast to shoot with the back-up sights alone. Let alone that snazzy S&B scope.

Definitely bookmarking your site.

Thanks Guys. I shot steel plates down in Phoenix on Friday out to 300+ yards (with the rifle pictured in this post), and all of my 200 yards hits were with the BUIS.

Re: SPECTER-BABR from Underground Skunkworks*UPDATED*

I just completed two MilSpec versions of the SPECTER-BABR. The only differences between the MilSpec and Non-MilSpec versions are:

18" Barrel instead of 19"
Surefire FH/Adapter instead of AAC
Nitride Finish instead of Cerakote.

The specs are:

Underground Skunkworks Model 911 "Military" Action (feeds from AICS and AW Mags)
Underground Skunkworks Precision Ground Recoil Lug
Underground Skunkworks Back Up Iron Sight System integral to the 20 MOA Rail with Underground Skunkworks Front Sight (a Skunkworks Exclusive)
Underground Skunkworks SPECTER NV Mount (not pictured)(also a Skunkworks exclusive)
Underground Skunkworks Forward, Side-Mounted Picatinny Rails
Manners/UGSW MCS-SPECTER Stock
Underground Skunkworks Precision Pillar System
Underground Skunkworks EHD DBM
Timney/Skunkworks Trigger (designed by Skunkworks, manufactured by Timney)
Bartlein 5R SPECTER Contour Barrel, 18"
S&B 1.1-4 Short Dot Day Optic
ATLAS Rail
Surefire FH/Adapter
Nitride Finish

The name does not imply that this version is not available for civilian purchase.

I'll definitely be at SHOT and I'm trying to square away a booth. Right now the best I've been able to get is next to the Tactical Dogfood....Give me a call and we can plan to meet at the show if I can't get decent booth space....
