Picked this up the other week and have been so involved in testing it, and in essence learning about it i never bothered to stick up a picture. So here it is.
Remington VTR R-15 in .223 caliber. I drilled and tapped the fore guard and added a 3 inch piece of picatinny rail to allow me to attach a vertical grip. I could have just screwed it into the existing holes, but did not want to sacrifice the QD stud and attachment point for the Harris bipod/sling.
Still testing her on different ammo, but so far i've found she only likes 55gr or higher and only in BT/FMJ. No hollow points, and definitely not in anything under 55 gr. Otherwise you end up with a .223 "Shotgun".

And it's for that exact reason camo tape would never be an option, to me anyway. I've seen the same with bullet pouches (you the ones that you wrap around/on your stock). Even if it's not raining walking through the fields on a damp/misty night it'll "absorb" the moisture and if left untreated can cause damage (however subtle) over time.However, some people have complained that the tape holds moisture.
That's handy.Another quick fix would be a one piece cover.
The thing is i only considered painting the scope as an aesthetics thing. It has no functional improvement on the working of the rifle. Now that i think about it i might just leave things well enough alone. I have a habit of changing scopes and rifles with scary frequency so doing something that would not appeal to everyone is probably not the best practice, plus if it's not something i "have to" have then there is no point in trying to convince myself or have others do it for me.

Started to get all the bits together for my new Tikka T3, 308, 1/13 Lilja 3 groove barrel at 22". New E-Tac3 stock made extremely light to see if there are any weak points. Stock alone came out of the mould at 550 grams (19.4 oz)or including adjustable cheek 610 grams ( 21.6 oz) Finished weight including top and bottom bedding, cheek raiser mechanics, recoil pad and swivel studs will be well under 800 grams. In the meantime fitted the AICS mag system although the original mags are not too bad. Not sure yet what moderator will be fitted.
Goal is to have a heavy barrelled rifle with adjustable tactical stock that weighs around or under 3.5kg and as a complete setup has it's vertical COG on the line of recoil.
I also received a three position firing pin safety from ASH that will replace the plastic shroud.
The little black lump next to the threaded aftermarket bolt handle is a solid lump of carbon made from a single roving, this will be shaped into a bolt knob. Light, strong and looks good.
Progress so far.
Just out the mould.

It was a sweet tool alright. Sorry i got rid of it, but it paid for another one. Maybe i'll win the lotto tonight and treat myself to a new 692.
Must get my current collection together and stick up a picture. Very different now to then.Forum Charter - Useful Information - Photo thread: Hardware - Ranges by County - Hunting Laws/Important threads - Upcoming Events - RFDs by County
