Finally got my new Bang Stick...

[cms81586]

I sold a couple rifles over the past month or two to fund a big purchase and the disappointment of letting go of some great firearms was finally outweighted by a phone call from my FFL on Thursday. Picked this up the instant that they called. I've haven't been this excited about a firearm purchase since I got my first rifle when I was 11 years old for hunting the following year. As soon as the weather breaks I'm off to do some shooting even though it still lacks optics. Can't wait to get her out and put it through it's paces!

Looks nice. What are you thinking about using for optics?

[cms81586]

More than likely an Aimpoint T-1 in a Larue LT-751 mount for the first optic and then I'll either take the Leupold Mk4 M3 I have off of another rifle or buy a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10. I don't like the two optic setup but it's all I can come up with to keep it as light as possible for 3 gun and still be able to take advantage of the full accuracy potential of the rifle at longer ranges. I'm pretty confident in Larue's mounts so I don't think zero shift will be an issue and the T-1 will live on top of the rifle most of the time.

Nice lil thumper CMS.
Always hate selling one to get another but when you make a step up like that it is worth the pain.[Beer]

Looks awesome! Knights certainly make great weapons. I have been thinking about getting another .308 and Knights are certainly on the short list.

Let us know how she shoots.

Nice!!! The thing about SR-25.. you won't stop at $3k... next thing you know its a 6-7k rig [Coffee]

[RYAN50BMG]

According to Manlaw, if you sell a gun to buy a Stoner SR-25-----------that's OK.

Wow, you guys are talking big money, I feel special with my $1500 carbine, and that's optics included.

[sniper7]

very sweet gun! I think I am going to go for a Larue OBR when I pull the .308 trigger! maybe then they can play together![Beer]

[John123]

Awesome rifle!!!

I am currently saving for one of the SR25 EMC's. Its the last rifle I need to complete my arsenal. I cant believe I will end up spending as much on optics as the rifle. I want the Leupold 1-8x scope.

Good Buy..

The new Leupy is nice. Not sure if I could ever spend $4k on a scope though... As for the EMC...very smooth shooting and controlled pairs are just that...controlled. Still need optics but the 100yd 5rnd group I fired hovered at 1 3/4"...not bad for my piss poor vision. By the next time I have it out I'll run some optics and get a better idea of the accuracy it's capable of.

Video of one mag through the rifle. Very smooth shooting.

You just had to take it out and play with it didnt you?[Beer]

[cms81586]

Could you let it sit around until you got a scope for it? [Coffee] Plus I had to test out my handloads to see if they were still the favorite load of my other .308 rifle.

I'll pop her cherry for you[Beer]

[Troublco]

Nice. I like the configuration, reminds me a lot of my SPR. The pics have me thinking about selling a few things (including my new LR-308 carbine) to get one.
