Still waiting for the Arbiter Ti to clear Form 4, but here's a Sako TRG-22 with the factory 20" barrel option. It has a SAS Arbiter TOMB muzzle brake installed on the M18x1 factory threads. This rifle was purchased with the newer "gen 2" folding stock with the updated monpod design and other small revisions. It also got a squirt of paint to make the rifle look less like a black ass was mated to a green body. It's currently wearing the factory bipod and factory magazines. A KRG ambi mag catch was installed and is a noticeably friendlier tab to operate with or without gloves.
The factory picatinny was removed and the receiver's integral dovetail was utilized with a Spuhr 7mil canted mount. The glass is a Hensoldt's 4-16x56mm with the NH-1 reticle option. There are two things worth mentioning about the Hensoldt. The NH-1 reticle is that the crosshair tips are NOT sharp like the drawing floating around the Internet. They're more like rounded tips, but I don't think your eye could properly resolve the tip of the needle-acute angles shown on the drawings floating around. The illumination also isn't bright but I've never required a lit reticle in unhindered daylight. It's not as bright as my US Optics SN-3.
I also picked up a TAB biathlon sling. I was hesitant about the purchase because I find it convenient to stow the bipod with the legs facing towards the stock rather than away, as my arms are short and it's more difficult to reach the legs for deployment when they're pointed at the muzzle. I was concerned that wearing the rifle with a biathlon sling would result in the bipod foot digging into my back like a caltrop. This proved not to be the case and depending on how you hook up the sling, the rifle will sit differently against your back.
Next step is to drive the rifle and get zero in the scope and get some initial groupings. The Hensoldt is ludicrously clear and even seemed TOO bright under daylight!
