Tac Ops Rifles

[Jerry V]

Dallas ?

No Dallas, Houston or Austin. Outside of Waco about 20 miles and it is not Mt. Carmel!

 

[spife7980]

Fuck no. Go to the Hillcountry.

Hush you.

 

[n2ishun]

Shit, you could come to Kansas and they will GIVE you 20 acres, free.

Would that be enough land for a shop and a range ?

Anybody here have a TT525P Coyote sitting on their beautiful work of art rifles?

As soon as they came out with that color I thought that would look extremely nice with the birdsong.

 

[clonebuilder]

Might as well ask this again since its been a bit, has anyone shot the 215 Bergers or 230 OTM Tacticals in their 300 win mag guns?

Same, I imagine it looking awesome!! I’ve been waiting to see someone post up a pic.

What are the Tac Ops silencer dimensions to be able to order a mirage cover?

I would be very surprised if either one of those rounds would chamber. The chamber is cut for 190 FGMM and I have a hard time finding alternate ammo that will work.

[Charger442]

anyone mount an Ultra Short (3-20 or the 5-20) on a Tango using the split mounts? meaning not a continuous rail mount that spans the loading port?

 

[HenryTheAce]

@JakeM well taking the plunge, buying a TT525P Coyote thanks to Jake at Mountic Outdoors @MNTC

Can’t wait to see how it looks on the TacOps w/ birdsong

Glad I can help out. The photos of the coyote Tan Tangents look more brown then they are in person. The few I have had so far are much more green. Hard to get accurate photos that represent the actual color but I would say it will go very well with these Tac Ops rifles.

Someday I hope to own one of these fine rifles!

Not a Tango, but my Delta with the split pic rail base and the S&B 3-20x50. Let me know if you need close up images

thank you, interesting stuff. its something i need to consider. I may move my March High Master over to my Tango instead of springing for a new piece of glass.

 

[BCX]

My vote is my shop ready to lease here in Texas. Come on over Mike.

Hopefully your shop floor has 2 plus feet of reinforced concrete.., Mike likes zero vibration on his machines

 

[RayDBonz]

Delta with the March 4.5-28x52. A lightweight build with an 18" barrel.
The Spuhr mount is overkill, since replaced with Audere rings.
The sunshade makes the scope look longer than it is, it's actually quite compact. They need to make a sunshade about half that length.

 

[huntnh]

@RayDBonz what is the final weight? Looks like a perfect little urban sniper

Please don’t. I’m debating on selling my ZCO for another tangent.

Do it!

No disrespect to ZCO because they make a fantastic scope, but that’s exactly what I did with my ZCO.

Here is my former Tango 51 with a S&B 3-20 Ultra Short in split rings. Absolutely loved the set up.

I need a GH

 

[Scampo]

The Xray in 6.5CM with 135 A-Tips makes a great combination

 

[DJL2]

I’m close… wasn‘t smart enough to send Mike my scope, so my March FX and ARC rings will just hang out here for a little bit longer. Hoping to actually get a few rounds out before I PCS OCONUS and leave my new Delta-51 to age gracefully for a bit.

I'm on the fence about sending my scope.

 

[Todd Katler]

While I own many sniper rifles, I have never had anything that can only be described as perfect. Just picked up my rifle from Mike yesterday and got out to the range today. I need lots of practice to try and match the test target (not sure I will ever do a single hole!), but it already out-performed the rifles I have been shooting for decades. The service, consultation and experience was every bit as perfect as the rifle. Nothing else to say - there isn't anything better I have ever seen.

 

[BuLLet]

That's what Mike is all about....

We've spoken @ 1:30 am, about build details... I don't know how he manges all of this...

[Quarter Horse]

Got a call from Mike R. last week. Delta 66 going to Birdsong..........yes.

 

[clark33]

Dammit being poor sucks! Love seeing all these rifles though

Nice setup there.

Ive spent some time at that same bench there. Are you hittng the plates at 500?

 

[Stevo86]

X-Ray 51 inbound to Aubrey Texas

Mike R.

Hey that’s just about 10 miles from me

 

[Scampo]

Nice setup there.

I was - easily hitting the larger square plate with occasional hits on the small round plate. They need to add more steel at 300 and 500 because it's slim picking right now

 

[J Scott]

Mike is on a roll!

Great rifle & scope combo. Was that at ASR (Angeles Shooting Ranges)?

Unrelated note (but kinda related), anyone notice the sniper central website is gone? Was trying to send some of the TacOps articles to a buddy of mine and the website doesnt exist anymore.

Anyone know what happened?

 

[FCS]

Yes, has been done.
Loaded for a customer’s 66.

Oh hey there! I'm getting real close to getting mine so I should be hitting you up soon!

I was told Mel sold it for 40K but don't remember exactly what was going on. He stated he might start a new one but who knows...
He was ( is ) always a complete gentleman and a class act...

Here's Mels Face Book link https://www.facebook.com/snipercentral

This link here is the old Sniper Central with a new name https://www.sniperforums.com/

[DJL2]

It is sort of crazy to think I’ve been visiting some of my haunts on the web for better than 20 years. The first articles that ever drew me to Mel’s place were an extension of the fascination I had after reading the section on snipers in Marine as a kid (or adolescent, perhaps).

I had posted a link earlier, seems like it all ran out at Sportsmans.

Keep an eye on a place called AbleAmmo, I picked up some 190s and and 1 box of 215s from there. 3 dollars a round at the time was much lower than what others were charging.
