300 BLK

 

Going back after payday for the same rifle in 308

 

Obviously a staged shot with a girl that likely doesn't know a thing about guns. Still nice to look at.

I don't have a photo of my better half cleaning guns, but here is one of here shooting.

 

Yup wasn't going to go to in-depth on how to do it lol. But MKE were smart and made it easy to do while complying with import laws

 

This should be interesting.

 

Looks to be both SSP/ESP and Production legal, walther must be gunning for the SP01/ Shadow 2/G34/ M&P5 2.0/ XDM5.25 market. Always good to see competition in the competitive space

 

Too bad it doesn't have the v1 ambi mag release.

 

I can understand why they didn't (majority buyers) but I absolutely love the V1 mag release.

 

Why we can't have nice things.

 

What size scope rings did you use? Are they Vortex, too?

 

Cz pistols , AR's, AKM rifles (lots),Rimfires, and a few FUDD rifles . Like em all but love to collect the AKM variants in many calibers. May or may not have a 50 as well. good stuff

 

No I literally bought the cheapest rings for a picatinny rail I could find lol

 

Did you at least lap the rings?

 

If it was a long range precision rifle, I absolutely would have spent much more money on the scope and ring combo.

But, it’s a $400 rifle with a $179 scope with little to no recoil.

My intention with this rifle was to have a cheap and reliable rifle that I can stomp around on my land in Texas and when I’m in WNC that can get bumped, scratched, and (heaven forbid) dropped in the mud without crying myself to sleep over the amount of money I have invested.

That’s why I went cheap with it and why i wasn’t overly concerned

 

Not saying it will cause issues, but if you have issues with adjustment or holding zero that'll be the likely cause. Vortex themselves have put out like 3 podcasts alone on rings and mounting.

 

Fair enough. Damnit, why can’t yall let me be lazy and take the easy road. Now I’m gonna have to actually do it right

I love cheaping out, just not on rings. I reccomend lapping all rings as a matter of course in scope mounting as even if your rings are perfect there's no guarantee the base they are on is perfect. It's no different than epoxy bedding a rifle action to the stock, good fit means less potential issues. With scopes the issues are just magnified a bit.

 

Snagged a Sig 226 MK25...

 

I see what you did there
