Tac Ops Rifles

[Baron23]

I love the bag rider, it rides on bags very consistently. I think it's a good addition.

JAE chassis are my absolute favorite!

Thanks. I have one coming to me.
Don’t wNt to derail this TacOps thread...well, not too much anyway haha...but the one thing I need to improve on my J Allen is LOP. I need to shorten it a half to 3/4 inch.

I’m going to reach out to Limbsaver and Pachmayr and see if the have a “Grind to size” thin pad of sufficient dimensions and w a fairly sturdy backer such that I can grind it to fit (I actually have a JAE butt pad spacer I can use for doing this. Drill holes in the right spot and maybe have a good solution to shorten the length a bit.

Ok, back to TacOps.

Do you have one to sell me?

 

[shooter65]

I had a nice 10 round group at 100 until "Toothless Jerry" shot up my target with is $40 Chinese AK47.

As I said previously, the hardest thing about Tac Ops rifles is not purchasing another. Well here she is. Xray-66. Joins my Tango-51, Delta-51, and a Green Hornet. Another masterpiece for certain! The suppressor will be in NFA jail for a bit. And it is timed so that all of the identifiers face the 6 o'clock position. Cannot see numbers/letters at all from the top or either side. Should send someone at the range into an apoplectic fit!

155 elds @100 yards

Just out of curiousity what’s the weight on them? Feasible to carry round in the steep stuff for elk/mule deer. I like what I’m seeing.

I’m sure Mike can make ya a tango to hunt with that isn’t horrible weight or something like that

 

[stemikel]

This is probably a stupid question, but what is the difference between the 51 and the 66 variants?

These rifles are truly a work of art. They shoot even better than they look. I’ve had one for a few years now and it impresses me every time I take it out. Add in the fact that Mike R is one of the most professional rifle builders I've ever talked to makes it easy to part with my hard earned money. All this gives you a recipe for nothing short of euphoria. Thank you Mike for creating these killer rifles.

First pic is my rifle in all its glory and second pick is the guts of a fly @ 100 yards.

Shooting a fly off the target ? I may have you certify my rifles for me

Bass and Bucks?

Indeed

 

[shooter65]

Atterbury?

Sure is

 

[308pirate]

Indeed

Is there any steel at B&B?

 

[shooter65]

I think most people bring their own and place it next to the targets.

Nice! I‘m having trouble deciding on what will be the last part of the build... Optics. Lately I had been thinking S&B was most “appropriate”. Now leaning towards Leupold mk5 5-25 for features which I think I’ll like. What say the hide on the proper optic for a 308 Tac Ops?

Mine too. Headed back to Hollywood today.

Mine will likely get a S&B 3-20x50 Ultra Short.

 

[Scampo]

My Lima and Xray both have the S&B PMII 5-25x56 P4F. The lightweight, shorter barreled Delta Mike is finishing up for me will get the S&B 3-20x50 ultra short

 

[tacops1]

Tangent Theta is a good go to for a tacops

 

[Numb_Skull]

Got an Minox on my Echo right now but it's too long and looks retarded. Just ordered a Mark6 to check out the glass, shortest scope I could find at 11.9". If it isn't up to snuff I'll try out a Kahles or Hensoldt.

That's pretty subjective and personal. My TacOps X-Ray 51 has a Khales K624 with MSR-K reticle. Fits the rifle perfectly, IMO.

 

[stemikel]

I guess I am the newest member of the club. I just ordered a X-ray 51 surgeon. Mike was awesome to work with. He is a super cool guy (even if he could talk a little slower).

I hope to fondle it in 5 months.

 

[stemikel]

Oh, and she will be married to a Tangent Theta (thanks Eliteuas).

Mike R.

As both tacops1 & MikeRTacOps said, the X-Ray 66 is .300WM) and the X-Ray 51 is.308. In Tac Ops speak, the platform is the first part of the name, (i.e., "X-Ray" = re-worked McMillan A5, while the second part of the name = (i.e. "66") is the cartridge's case length rounded up or down. Below are my X-Ray 66 (in the back and X-Ray 51 in the foreground). Both wear PMII 5-25X[56] 0.1 MIL CCW Gen 2 XRs' on Two-Piece 45 MOA Bases. Both scopes have the excellent but but sadly discontinued USO PMII 5-25X[56] specific ARD.
