    New Skins for AICS stock

    Re: New Skins for AICS stock IMO these will be a great alternative to the not-so-pretty AX AICS. Its a nice balance of pistol grip and the AICS platform. Can have the same feel of the AX without all the unnecessary rails/tube/vents/kitchen sink that comes on the AX. Would love to try a set...

    Pulled out the old J.C. Higgins 103.228

    Re: Pulled out the old J.C. Higgins 103.228 Bipods are fine for a front rest if you are shooting off of bench. I use mine all the time. In regards to your trigger...depending on just how long the trigger pull is, you could be pulling your shots. Generally a short light trigger helps to...

    carbon fiber skins?

    Re: carbon fiber skins? I was just thinking of options for a different look. It will mostly be a range rifle, I have no need to be invisible in the bushes or grass. Some people use paint schemes, some do camo, why not a carbon fiber look? I've no idea on what the cost would be, just an idea...

    Step One: Complete

    Re: Step One: Complete nice looking rifle, but I think you might need to move the scope back a little, unless you got some buggy eyeballs. Have fun with it. Still saving for mine. Post some groups when you get them
