Tac Ops Rifles

[Scampo]

This thread has been pretty quiet so I thought I'd add some reloading info I've landed on for my Delta and Xray

All are 5 round groups @ 100 yards - just not quite as good as the groups @MikeRTacOps can shoot.

Delta lightweight 308
18" krieger barrel 1:10
Federal GMM once fired brass
43.0 Varget
CCI #200
168 SMK at 2.213 and 2.220 ogive

Xray 6.5CM
24" krieger barrel 1:8
Hornady once fired brass
41.5 H4350
CCI #250 magnum primer
135 A-Tip at 2.171 ogive

I’ve posted these before, love these guns! I added a Delta 55 to the mix (6.5x55 swede) that isn’t in the pics-but rest assured, it’s total TacOps badass!

now if I can figure out a way to add a Green Hornet and hunting rifle, I think I’d be set.....

pics are of:

Delta 66 (300 wm)
Zulu 63 (30-06)
Tango 51 (308)
X-Ray 51 (308)

How do you like that Delta 66? I've got one ordered up that I intend to use for hunting.

Mine is Also on order same setup same way I am beyond excited! Mike is one of the greatest individuals I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Knowledgeable beyond compare and truly an awesome individual. The Personable service and the willingness too help is second to none. The Best of the Best and the attention to detail is beyond anything I Have personally experienced. There is nothing else closer to perfection for a Rifles Standard.

hopefully mine will be finished this month

With no doubt in my mind the wait will be worth it! Post some photos when you get her Sir. I cant get enough of his rifles.

I was also thinking of the S&B 3-20x50 US.
However, now I might go for the new March 4.5-28x52.

Or get another rifle. . .hmmm

 

[stemikel]

Thinking very seriously about the March 4.5-28 for my X-ray 51.

 

[brianf]

I have a match 10-60 high master.

Very nice scope

 

[MikeRTacOps]

Anyone running a S&B PM2 3-20 Ultra Short on their Tacops Tango ?

Your going to need a couple of scopes your Platforms are leaving this coming week

I have this feeling shes going too be a "Tac" driver all pun intended. Thank you Mike! This is definitely my dream build. Best experience I've ever had, and I'm going to get a real nice optic for this Beast.

Thank you again! It really does matter. The quality of service and the quality of a Man that puts the utmost attention to detail in a build and more! I'm going to keep in touch and quite frankly sleep will be a tough one the next couple of days ha. I'll be posting what the Delta looks like all dressed up and looking pretty. God Bless!

It’s absolutely awesome! I typically shoot it with a TacOps Ti can, it’s an incredibly awesome combination. You’ll love it!

Juniors,

From the look of your profile pic you need another Tac Ops Platform sometime soon to add to your collection

[tacops1]

My first Tacops Tango 51 arrived last week and wow I’m speechless .....just a work of
functional art.... I’ll show it when the rings , rails, and glass gets on em again

Now awaiting the X-ray 51......

Christ now I’m plotting another one in 6.5 CM cause nothing else compares. Lots of good makers out there sure but I’ve never seen anything like this rifle in fit and finish as well as quality /craftsmanship and customer service. I’m happy to call Mike a friend and master rifle maker! Thanks Mike R. !!!!

Thanks for the reply! I didn't order a can with mine and it is probably spec'd a bit different than yours, but I am excited for it to arrive (should be here in time for spring bear season)!

For heaven's sake, empty that shredder! Fawn Hall would be so disappointed!

Nice stick! Looking forward to getting my Lima back from him. Just ordered one of his cans for it also.

Thank you for the kind words your most welcome As far as building you a 6.5 you'll probably need to take the wife to a 5 star dinner and buy her some flowers first. I've heard a rumor here on the Hide one of my previous customer's wife tried to do a Lorena Bobbit on his ass for getting a 3rd Tac Ops. I'd probably wear a CUP over your Junk when you sleep LOL

Mike has my Lima51 right now for a re-stock (my own dumbass fault) and now am thinking how to get away with getting either a Lima260 or X-Ray260 built around GM260M from him without getting a divorce, especially since I am sending him payment for one of his cans tomorrow.

 

[Distance570]

Just got My Delta 51 Lightweight! The scope will be here very soon. They dont have words for the quality fit and finish. At least not in the English Language. Biggest problem is the addiction to buy another. The struggle is real. In all seriousness I truly Understand the desire and want of this Rifle. Bar none the finest I've ever handled. Thank you Mike R. I'm beyond impressed. God Bless

I'm just the opposite. I got my S&B 3-20x50 US yesterday. The Delta 51 is still pending. The suppressor is still in jail.

That same scope Setup arrives today for my rifle haha! Yes my suppressor is still waiting on the form 4 unfortunately. She looked sexy all dressed up with Mikes Titanium CAN. Its hard to beat Jennifer Anniston all done up but for the first time I believe it has been done.

 

[MikeRTacOps]

X-Ray 51 is inbound

Oh damn the suspense is killing me ....feels like Christmas in February I can’t wait Mike thanks a lot 2/18 will be awesome. Lets talk about that Ti Can soon I want one

that one looks special...very nice

 

[tacops1]

Thanks man they are all special but this is a Surgeon short action tango 51, with Surgeon bottom metal and a TT Diamond Pro curved trigger that’s the only difference than a standard build. But for all the folks who don’t want a Remington 700 enhanced action that Mike has perfected you can upgrade for a small fee to a Surgeon ( I know some people like myself are picky). I would still say trust within on Mikes enhanced 700 action he perfected it. Surgeon actions are available

 

[Distance570]

Would make Carlos Hathcock Smile!!!! Mike R and his Team=LEGENDARY. GOD BLESS YOU and the few like you. The True 1%! Heros get remembered but Legends never die.

Can anyone explain to me the proper procedure to break in the new barrel/rifle?

Thanks in advance.

 

[BuLLet]

At this point in my Life, I just shoot it. I no longer adhere to a break in procedure.

[tacops1]

Damn I love when the delivery services come early ...X-RAY 51 out for delivery I’ll post pics later

 

[kthomas]

Well Dreams came true today and I can’t thank Mike more .... words are at a loss on this thread ....I’ll save most of them for him personally.... Mike’s a kind guy and made my sons day. My son got honor roll today he’s 8, so a Tacops shirt made his fuckin day twice.

Then when I told him the Tango 51 along with the S&B 3-21 EXOS BDC optic I got first was his first rifle to practice on and receive finally at 18 he really shit his pants. Lol he can barely hold this X-ray anyways so I’ll shoot this one. We will both have one.

A talented world class rifle builder. A world class guy too!!! That’s all that matters to me. I’m impressed with his customer service, friendship and rifle quality. At this point in life I would go no where else. I will again post pics when I build em up and shoot em. Here’s the pre build pic /pics

I wanna add the two rifles were built on consecutive serial numbers to be extra special

Thanks Mike! I am looking forward to the Ti can and more future talks

Badass!

Love the look of the Surgeon action on that build. I would love to have a Surgeon TacOps, but I've been reduced to being a broke student (again, I guess this is my midlife crisis?!), so that's just a dream at this point.

Thankfully before I went back to being a student I bought a TacOps titanium can for my X-Ray 51, which I'm trying to patiently await it's release from ATF prison

Enjoy the rifle! And lucky kid!

Thanks and hard work pays off they say I’m sure you’ll get your dream stick from him soon before he retires

 

[stemikel]

Thanks for sharing the story and the photos with us. I am waiting for the same surgeon xray51 build. Hopefully, it will be here soon. We'll compare photos. We'll see if what my 8 year old daughter looks like holding it.

BTW- how long is your barrel?

I'm fortunate to already have one X-ray 51, with the R700 action.

I just wouldn't mind adding another to the collection if I ever get the finances again
