Carlos Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Wery niiice !!! Agree its very nice - but its over $700!! egads this sport has gotten expensive. all- thanks for the links and discussion. d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobob Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My biggest problem with the Meopta is that the power ring is very stiff and difficult to turn quickly. Robert Wright of R&R racing has a quick throw lever for the Meopta he is making. Thanks! I was going to pick one up from him at the Ephrata match last month, but he didn't have them ready yet. I'll give him a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well yes and no, this sport is expensive IF you quest for "glass", a real nice set of Iron sights costs around $150.00 and You don't need any kind of mount or rings to go with them! They never fog over, glint in the sun, or wash out due to rain drops on the lens. I like the Meopta....but I shoot irons!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapr With a statement like that coming from wither you or Kurt, the two most prevalent iron shooters here, I'm sure you can imaging what we were imagining. Well? Fess up... What gives? *don't tell anyone, but I just might build me a limited rifle* edit: nevermind, I just read the other thread.

Alaskapopo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Last week I got to look through a Swarovski Z6i 1x6 illuminated Now that's glass !!! I need one of these but the price ?? Does anyone have a link to the exact Burris your talking about, my friend is looking for an affordable scope and the Millet does seem kind of dark ? I just finished a rifle build for 3 gun with that optic I love it. Here are some pics. Here she is. I just shot it and it runs great. Lower is Saber Defense. I installed a geissele two stage match trigger, Vltor Emod Stock, Mag pull pistol grip and trigger guard. Upper is a Noveske N4 light carbine with Troy sights and a Swarovski Z6i 1x6-24 Rifle Scope with Circle Dot Reticle in a Larue mount. It has a Surefire muzzle break pinned on to the 14.5 inch barrel. That brake works awsome. Anyway I just finished it today and sighted it in. The brake makes the gun come straight back and there is almost no muzzle flip for fast double taps at 100 yards. It is nice having a 1 to 6 power scope with Daylight illumination. Pat Edited May 28, 2008 by Alaskapopo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Conley Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Does a 14.5 inch barrel make minor???? Edited: Nice rifle by the way. Chris C. Edited May 28, 2008 by Chris Conley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Does a 14.5 inch barrel make minor????Edited: Nice rifle by the way. Chris C. Power factor is easy. I shoot Sierra 77 grain bullets which still make minor even if they are only going 2000 fps. Out of hte 14.5 inch barrel they should be going about 2400 fps. I will chrono them later.

KurtM Thanks. I just like the way vertical foregrips feel. I know you don't need them to shoot well but I like them. By the way sorry I was a bit of a jerk to you in previous threads.

Fullauto_Shooter Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 VERY nice rifle, but that brake is huge - just look how it dwarfs the Dillons - LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Oh sure...pick on a guy for not focusing the camera, and poking fun at his brake ( BTW the Sure-Fire brakes are VERY effective), but no one noted that that is one NICE SHOP! KurtM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobob Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) It IS a nice shop! As it should be. When you have 10 month winters, you spend a lot of time in it! I feel the breeze of thread drift here! Edited May 29, 2008 by jobob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
