And for your enjoyment pleasure …..Mike lays in bed with some sexy women , but being a maker of some sexy rifles it’s a hard choice …..hence look what he chooses to be on his side …the one he trusts in war time won’t let him down 😂 View attachment 7874879
This picture wins the internet lmfao
 
Looks like he's gonna shoot his nose off!

Although, it is pretty dame close to his manhood too.

Ain’t hard their address is on their website ….include a note how you want them done which is two tone tacops green and black. Also include all your contact info and ship they will reach out for payment when done

you're saying the main color is a mix of the green and black or its a two tone because they do the rings in green and the screws in black?

Talked with Mike today. My X-Ray 51 is ~21 days away from ready. Looking forward to owning/shooting my first Tac Ops Masterpiece. I will post pics of rifle rig and actual groups as soon as possible.

I need more FGMM. But I'm glad I didn't trade the 168s I have for 175 a few years ago. Very glad I kept it

@JakeM and @CIB2007 guess what arrived today in the mail from @MNTC !? The TT525P Coyote…. just got it mounted up on the Delta-51 (6.5cm)

Lighting is tricky with it, the Coyote anodize definitely leans more to a greenish tint in some lighting and others more tan-ish. Looks pretty good with birdsong!! Thinking I need to send the TBAC can off to TBAC to get coated ODG

Thanks again Jake @MNTC …. if anybody is looking for a TT look no where else.

Man that is one great looking rig. Yes it's hard to capture the green in the optic in photos. Glad it made it safe and your happy with it. Awesome to work with you as always!

Why did you have to post a picture?!?! I owe mike money still and now I have to sell my ZCO. I’ll go cry in the bathtub now with my glass of whiskey and get the credit card out. I blame you!

Whisky and Credit Card in the same sentence are never usually a good thing. But I'm here enable folks in those moments of weakness 😂

@HenryTheAce was trying to persuade me into my first Tacops yesterday too. May just have to give Mike a call next week.
 
Working on a hunting rifle with Mike now…. I had a X-ray to match my tango consecutive serial number surgeon action and really wanted to get my retirement in order so I sold it to a member here which became a good friend of mine. I just loved the tango it’s a great rifle at 18” in a standard stock….. but after getting range time with the tango and being an avid hunter I needed a hunting rifle and he’s the only one I could see building it

Surgeon Action
.308
20 or 22” barrel threaded slim profile
Trigger tech diamond pro trigger
No box mag
No texture on a McMillan game warden stock
Bird song coating

Should be a tac driving deer 🦌 killing machine…stay tuned

Well, I finally got my Delta-51 out to the range... I was ill prepared, but went with what I had (no bipod, sadly). Mine’s a “lightweight” build and comes in at 12.5 lbs or so ready to shoot (bare rifle). I had to dial .5 mrad up and .1 mrad left to zero… Mike might be slipping.

I threw on the MSv3 and got after it with FGMM 168 SMK (2605 fps) and 185 Juggs (2595 fps), TRU 168 TMK (2625 fps), and TAP 168 ELD-M (2725 fps). Highlight of the day for me was the ~1 inch 10 shot group @ 200 yds with the Juggs. It’d have been smaller, but I threw one a little high. I’ve never shot a .5 MOA 10 shot group before... or been oddly disappointed with my performance while doing it.

Have to make due until my can clears form 4, got a thread adapter for my old Crux direct thread can so I can use on my Tango, and while I'm waiting on my X-Ray to get done. Multiple things to wait on, always worth it

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine.......
 
There is a range in Lewistown I'd like to check out one day. When they are Open to the Public.

I'd bring a TacOps or 2 with me.

On the other hand, you could make the 4 hour trip to LI one day, and I'll have my 3rd by then!

Is there anyone near the 17007 that would let me check out their tacops rifle before i buy one?
