Damn, that's a good looking rifle...
My March FX 4.5-28x52 is sitting right here, waiting patiently for my Delta-51...It's my second TacOps, working now on my 3rd!
The March matches the build I think perfectly, it's my first and I'm impressed!
Same here.My March FX 4.5-28x52 is sitting right here, waiting patiently for my Delta-51...
I've only shot 190gr. FGMM, and sparingly so at that. (To me, any closer than at least 1,200 yards is a waste of money/ammo with a .300WM, especially now). There's no place within a 5 hour drive for me where the X-Ray 66 can stretch it's legs a bit, so I've rarely shot it.I've got a 66 I'm waiting for that will be chambered for the FGMM 190gr SMK. Haven't seen any available for some time. Has anyone tried the Black Hills that seems to have some availability? As an alternative, do you have a load that will shoot alongside the factory load?
I’m hard!
I bake them in the oven for about 9 hours a little longer than my choc chip cookies lol

You got the gold treatment man. That just makes it more exclusive.
If I’m correct. I believe he is heat treating them a second time to get them stiffer. This is so he can cut Tac Ops proprietary threads and torque the barrel on at 500 ft lbs. He does this so the barrel doesn’t flex in the action as it heats up, this in turn (almost or all the way) eliminates cold bore shifts and helps with precision. @MikeRTacOps might need to explain it if I’m off.So what's going on with the actions?
I just like looking at the nice rifles that I can't afford.
You are right, it really is an incredible feeling to have received the rifle. It feels amazing in my hands.It's gotta be a great feeling to finally get your hands on it after not just the usual wait, but the added tribulations. Don't let mother nature boss you around! Grab your marshmallow suit and get out there! ;-)
I'm sorry my Ninja it's too soon for you but I'm on your platform at the moment so that's a good thing...
I Think Your One I'll double check later tonight when I return from the LASD SEB HQ
One for the desert maybe?
Finally a LH photo.View attachment 7788585I was finally able to receive my left handed Delta 51 surgeon in 308 here in Canada. After several months of waiting and problems with shipping and customs, the rifle finally got here last week. I set up the scope today. And I hope I can go shoot it soon. But with -25C or -13F this week, I will wait until there are warmer days. I must say that the rifle is awesome and feel great in my hands. I will post some pictures of my first shooting session.
Thanks again Mike !
Damn rights they doFinally a LH photo.
I wasn't sure @MikeRTacOps was doing LH rifles. Maybe my two SIs need some company
Let me know...glad to meet you and try them out. I thought you only had the one plus an AI. Which models do you have?@Nik H - it's time. You shot one of my Tac Ops rifles at Woodcock Rifle Range last year. I'm happy to let you try the other two as well.

You let me know. I shoot in the cold but know a lot of people hate it.Lima 51 308 - the rifle you shot
Xray 51 in 6.5 creedmoor
Delta 51 lightweight 308
We can pick a Saturday or Sunday when the weather warms up a bit
You let me know. I shoot in the cold but know a lot of people hate it.
I shoot mostly prone so I would love to try whichever one is designed to shoot best from prone. If you have a range nearer to you that has a place to shoot prone, I would love to come up there. Woodcock sucks for shooting prone.
There is some truth to that but some stocks are better configured for shooting prone IMHO. I am familiar with the A4 and A5 McMillan stocks and I would take an A5 in the prone over an A4.In my experience, the only thing you can't shoot prone is slingshots and rubber bands ... but that's just me. =)
I gotta admit Mike, when I went, life got rough for a few weeks. The wife's mostly okay with it now, she thinks its kinda kinky.A few more of you Gents in this thread just went to Birdsong...
Thought you'd like to know
