The Official Precision Bolt Gun Picture Thread

[antco]

The gem of my collection-

TacOps Tango-51 with a NF 5.5-22x50. Its precision blows me away everytime I use it.

Rem 700

Remington 700 in SPS Tactical, 20 inch 5/8x24 threaded barrel, Accuracy Systems Brake. Have 22 rounds through it and it's a dream with that brake. When I was sighting it in I asked the guy two lanes over if the break bothered him, he said "the sounds fine but I really feel it on my legs", he was almost 8 feet away.

Ok what am I doing wrong, I tried to attach photo and it hasn't uploaded on here.
Now that I go the photo I will try to post another with the new paint job.

 

[Jackson923]

Hah I think I figured it out.

Here is the after pics of the paint, used Duracoat with Pine Tree Needles, and a Airbrush gun with a guy who knows how to use it.

Jackson, Is your buddy interested in doing any more? I am interested in doing 1 gun

Sorry don't know when he'll be back down this way, he lives in NYC and came down to visit my buddy, who conned him into doing the paint, I just happened to weasel in on the paint job that day. I did something similar to this on a Remington 597 with rattle cans of Krylon, it turned out good IMO, just let it set up for a while and be careful with the solvents when cleaning it. Used just brown, green and black with small spruce type pine and some leaves for the pattern. Did it about 4 years ago and the Krylon is still on there.

Yes, but that 'little light dot' is a 12 foot wide x 6 foot tall backer at 900 yards and the targets themselves are 6" black bullseyes and not visible in the pic.

Puts that picture into perspective. Thank you. (I'm soo not at that level yet.)

My old 6.5-06 based on an April 1918 03 receiver, K&P 31" fluted barrel, McMillan Baker Special stock with a very early 1942 Unertl on it. It was also setup to take a Lyman 48 rear and IIRC Tompkins globe front. The LOP with the butt all in was 15.5" so the bolt knob didn't hit my glasses in prone rapid. A Gunny at Quantico named it "The Beast" the first time I had it out for practice and it hammered!

Sweet. I'm dying to build a 1941 sniper clone, just waiting to find the right unertl.

With ya. Mines got a $30 Wallyworld special scope.

But it still goes bang!

I found that one about 20 years ago and I cannot remember the name of the guy I got it from, he specialized in old Unertls. IIRC he was in Texas. You want a 1-1/4" Target model 8X to be most "authentic" but they used a few other diameters and powers early on, mine was a 10X but with those Unertls changing power was as easy as unscrewing the ocular and screwing a different one on so there's no telling if any given ocular is original.

I hear you. The new CMP vintage sniper matches have driven the cost of the 8x through the roof though. I was planning on a 10x to avoid that. Wouldn't be legal for cmp matches but should be several hundred dollars cheaper.

Thank you, he ghosted in two skulls on the stock, I'll have to get a picture of them in good light and show it.

At 900 yards, I would have to send it in a brown truck!

Thats a good one
