Can't wait to see them. Is it to late to change the color on my .260?

I really want to see some longer range targets shot with these Tac Ops Rifles. Not because I am skeptical but so I can just be really jealous.

The proprietary black and green let's you know it's a TacOps- It's the same reason Ferrari's should be red.

Now on this I disagree.

My Tac Ops is an outstanding rifle but it is a tool not a trophy piece. The attention to detail and the birdsong coating means that underneath all of the paint and dirt it will function 100% of the time. It does not need to stay in "show room condition" it needs to be adapted to fit your environment.

George,

You need to put some camo on your brass

Re: Tac Ops Kilo 66/.300WM Birdsong Desert Camo

I agree with your logic. But like most of us here, I shoot my rifles at a range.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: George Mac</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Now on this I disagree.

Horrible target indicator, I agree 100%.

The rounds are usually covered in prone and other positions by a head veil or the shaggy hood. I did not realize that the rounds were exposed until a buddy took the photo. It has been remedied.

And not to totally hijack the thread....

I'm very happy to see Tac Ops adding a little color to the summer collection... This rifle has the same "beauty" of a Tac Ops rifle, gets away from the green/black, and adds an extra element of color to the utility of the weapon.

Woah! Three TacOps threads within the first three pages?

It makes waiting for mine harder!

Awesome color. Post more pics of other variations if you get them.

<span style="font-style: italic">Patience Iggy</span>. The waiting is difficult, but once you receive your Tac Ops rifle and shoot it - you'll know you made the right choice and all those months of waiting for your rifle will instantly fade away. It happens everytime.

I don't have more photos of other Tac Ops rifles finished in Birdsong Camo patterns and colors nor do I want to get off topic, but here are a couple photos of a Barrett 99 in a Birdsong Camo pattern:

BTW Iggy, which model Tac Ops rifle did you decide on? Was it the Kilo or X-Ray, and in what caliber - .308 or other?

Mike always said he would build me a 50 BMG if I asked for one. Keith, you should send that over to Mike for a Tac Ops job.;-)

I'm patiently awaiting a Delta in .308. I like the ergonomics of the A3 and reading these threads makes me wonder how happy I am going to be. Hell, I'm happy just to have on order!

Since you like the A3, a Delta will serve you extremely well. Slim PG and a forearm that allows easy elevation changes just by sliding the rifle forward or back a bit, the A3 is still one of my favorite stocks. However, since most of my shooting is prone I prefer the heavy A5 (X-Ray) and after that the A3-5 (Kilo).

The Tango is the most versatile - even suppressed it is extremely light and comfortable to shoot offhand, kneeling, sitting, or prone. The Tango would be the model to go with for hunting or if you do a lot of positional shooting. All the Tac Ops models shoot with the same accuracy, you just have to choose the stock crafted around the action.
