His monkey butt bouffant is part of what gives him his mojo.
I just got this beast back from Birdsong. It got completely recoated and the current TacOps OD green is my favorite. More glamor shots to follow.

Very nice photo/s as always Iggy. Re-coat due to the magazine modification?
Since I just posted on the Safe Queen thread (http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-bolt-action-rifles/269830-show-your-shame-safe-queens-edition.html), I might as well add to the Tac Ops porn page. I've got two Tac Ops, one Tango 51 and one Lima 66. Both are incredible shooters. I've shot the shit out of the 308. The Tango line is the perfect combo of maneuverability and accuracy. When people ask which Tac Ops they should get, I always say the Tango line if it's for anything more than prone shooting.
Now, if you're shooting prone consistently, the Lima line is an awesome package, which is why I went for the Lima 66. It's been my dream rifle since I joined the Hide in 2009. However, as the Safe Queen thread shows, I haven't even shot it yet since it came from Mike. Too many projects, and I didn't want to do the load development half-assed. Here's the porn, one is a stock photo of a decked out Lima 66, and the other is of the test target of the Lima 66 sitting in my safe. I'm definitely curious to find out the proportion of 308s Mike has built to 300WMs. You almost never see the 300WM models, which is why I wanted one as soon as I knew Mike made a long range boomer. Without further ado, here's some solid fap material.

Yes, when the bottom metal was put in the greens didn't match up 100%, maybe 98%, but I'm type A like that.
The gun also had a little bit of wear from use and now it looks like the day I got it.
I am not far from you in PA. I will gladly work up a load for you to break in that fine piece of stick .

I appreciate the offer, HT. I've got about 1k 230gr Berger Hybrids sitting in my reloading chest waiting for me to get off my ass and load up for this rifle. Still, I've got other projects that have taken precedence... for now!
Tac Ops M40A1
Hey guys,
Well, Mile High in CO had a Tac Ops M40A1 on consignment. A bit pricey for me, but after I held it I wanted it. Plus this was an opportunity to get a Tac Ops with no wait time. I put it on layaway (ok, a little wait time) and got it this week. I also got a hard case with it and the original test target and rings to boot.
I threw on an old SN3 scope.
It is a used gun, and I plan on using it more. A bit heavy though - may not take it elk hunting!

You can always get rid of it if you don't like the weight hahaha
Ordered a Tango51 from Mike in March
Picked up a slightly used one on here in April
It should keep me occupied until my new one is completed

My Tac Ops rifle finally arrived today. It has been a long wait...but well worth the wait. I have tried to find a flaw with this rifle and can't. I haven't shot it yet...but hope to soon.

WOW!!!!!!
I am actually kind of pissed at that! I have a 260 and he only managed to get mine doing .06 not .002! I think I have to have a work with the man!
In all seriousness, Mike knows how to build them! We have imported a fair few now into Australia and they have all been laser beams! My personal best with a Delta51 was .017 back to back.
As we keep saying, when you buy a TacOps, you know if the group isn't what you wanted its because YOU did something wrong NOT the rifle!
Congratulations!
ON a side note, how do you like the Surgeon DBM?

So far the DBM is great. I can tell you more when I actually get to use it. I am crazy busy right now and haven't got to shoot the rifle yet...and this is my first experience with a surgeon DBM.
My 6MMBR bench rest rifle would have a tough time beating that. Id like to see a few test targets and some 5 and 10 shot groups. Sorry but looks too good to be true. As that target cherry picked or is that the standard?
I am not far from you in PA. I will gladly work up a load for you to break in that fine piece of stick
And your just down the road from me. We should get together sometime.

Looks good with the DBM. Congrats.
Mike said he shot 4-5 groups and that was the last one. He said a couple others were in the tens. Either way...it is tighter than I can shoot at this point and maybe ever and it is tighter than the wind variation. Hopefully I will get to shoot it sometime in the next few weeks.
I have posted this before but here you go:
First off id like to send a BIG BIG thank you to Danny from delta tactical for helping me a quire this amazing rifle, Thanks Danny for everything mate, id like to say Danny was nicest most honest , professional person i have delt with in a long time, he went above and beyond the call of duty in this transaction, we spent many emails and phone conversations, he always took the time to answer any questions i had and made me feel assured that everything was going well, especially when dealing with such a high value transaction, and to top it off Danny personally drove the rifle up from victoria to deliver it to me at my dealer in sydney, hows that for customer service, once again thanks heaps mate much appreciated. Ifs there is anything i can do for you you know where to contact me.
The rifle is a Tac Ops delta51 chambered in 308w, these rifles come from Tactical Operations Beverly Hills California, built by Mike Rescigno and his team.
The core of the Tac Ops rifles is the Remington 700 action. Every aspect of the action is trued or "blueprinted" to precise Tac Ops standards, which is considerably more than the typical squaring of all the surfaces. From the recoil lug and action face, threads, bolt face, locking lugs, even the bolt body, everything is lined up precisely, and then faced for squareness, parallelism and concentricity. At all times they try to hold their tolerances to .0001”.
Tac Ops delta51 barrel come from Krieger this one is chrome moly but they are made to a specific proprietary spec provided by Tac Ops the chamber is cut at Tac ops for federal Gold Medal Match and headspaced to .001" . They also use their own precision ground recoil lugs and their own crown design with thread protector. The complete action and Barrel are cryogenically treated to relieve stress.
The barreled action is bedded into the stock using a traditional aluminum pillar glass bedding procedure with a free floated barrel channel.
The stock on the Delta 51 is the McMillan A3 stock which has adjustable cheek weld, length of pull and cant, The bottom metal is Tac ops own design and stock is fitted with anchutz rail with sling studs and atlas bipod mount. Again, paying extreme attention to fit and finish, Tac Ops takes the standard McMillan stock and refinishes it with their own application of a rough texture for all weather gripping and then a durable epoxy paint.
The trigger is the old style factory Remington set at 2.5 lbs. Its very crisp and breaks cleanly and without any creep.
The rifle is incredibley well-balanced. All metal work is finished in Birdsong BlackT and Green T, its a special finish that was developed by Walter Birdsong and is a finish that all other rifle finishes are judged by, here is a good review of the rifle finish: http://www.snipercen...om/birdsong.htm
Someone once called Mike Rescigno of Tactical Operations, Inc. the “Hattori Hanzo of rifle builders”. With this extreme attention to detail, I would have to agree!
If you want an extremely accurate rifle with a very high level of attention to the details, then any Tac Ops should be considered. Words alone cannot adequately describe the quality of these rifles. They must be handled and shot to truly appreciate their capabilities.
The tac Ops rifles are used by over 600 agencies world wide, including the alphabet agencies of the USA, and many law enforcement snipers, these are pure sniper rifles capable of delivering surgical precision in the hands of a skilled shooter. All the tac ops rifles are guaranteed to shoot better than 1/4 MOA @ 100m with Federal Gold medal match ammunition.
This rifle came with a test target of 0.099 but sorry Mike i beat it mate, best groups so far are as low as 0.022 shot twice in a row, at 100m with FGMM 168gr.
If anybody would like to purchase one of these masterpieces i recommend you contact Danny @ delta Tactical, they are the sole Australian distributor of Tac Ops rifles in Australia, Danny has all the import permits in order to bring these into the country, Danny also has first hand experience and has traveled to meet Mike and his team in the USA to see how these babies are made. Once again Big thank you Danny.

Wow. Why don't you take it to a benchrest match? Your likely win
If I had know about these guys years ago I would have gone this route instead of a custom bench rest rifle. Seems to make a 6MMPPC look like a 30 30.
If your first name is Brian and you're a doctor out of Texas I saw your rifle on the rack at Tac Ops a few days ago. I think Mike will be certifying your X-Ray 66 soon so he'll probably be getting in touch with you soon.
Keith
Give us the details please. It looks great. I'm guessing 308, 591, KMW? What bottom metal?
Wow. That is outstanding! Many thanks for the heads-up!
You are not bad at guessing. The bottom metal is KMW. Your rifle looks awesome... As all TacOps' builds do.

I will bet yours is the other surgeon that was being built about the same time mine was. Did you just get it?
Now that we're back on this "new", old site here are a few photos of my X-Ray 66 (.300WM). Unfortunately, my schedule hasn't been conducive to regular trigger time, but on the two occasions I did make it to the range to zero it at 100 yards, and then re-zero it after addition of a Tac Ops Brake I managed to keep my groups under 1/2 MOA. As most of us here know, shooting is a perishable skill - with the required trigger time and more rounds downrange with my X-Ray 66 I should be able to cut that down.

Very nice. TacOps are truly a thing of beauty. I have a lot of experience with a Tango 51. Would love to finger a 300WM!

Did these pics ever surface?
Love my X-Ray 66 and TacOps can. I'm hoping the Green Hornet gets out of limbo soon. It's Spring in South Texas, and I've got a squirrel issue!
Mike talked me into a Tango-51, after I was trying to put together some crazy stupid ridiculous "dream" build with him. I am glad he did, it's my favorite bolt setup and favorite firearm period. It's a great compromise between a hunting rifle and a modern "tactical" rifle which weighs a ton and usually demands prone shooting. I love the varmint stock; I can see why rifle stocks have looked similar for the last 100 years, they work well this shape. I can hit 50% standing at 600m! After six other .308s, many of which were top tier customs, I finally found my rifle!
Thanks Mike!!!

Thats awesome! Tango uses the McBros HTG(M40A1) stock right? Cant remember the Tac Ops model names, but Im a bit more partial to the Baker and McHale stocks myself... regardless, that thing is sweet sir.
Has anyone seen, or have a picture of, the Tac Ops dbm? I seem to recall discussion of its coming back on scout, but haven't seen it yet.
The Tango uses the Sako Varmint stock. The Sierra uses the HTG stock.
Has anyone ever shot out and had to rebarrel their Tac Ops rifle?
I don't own a Tac Ops myself, but I'm curious what turnaround time/cost it would entail.

You are going to love your Green Hornet!! I've shot over 1,000 rounds thru mine mostly in the basement. Crazy crazy quiet!! Squirrels don't stand a chance!! Also have an X-ray 66 and X-ray 51 and Tac Ops 30 cal suppressor which is crazy quiet.
Here is another photo of the new Tactical Operations bottom metal. I know it is not the greatest photo but it shows the overall profile, some details such as the serrations on the release button and what it would look like on a TacOps rifle. After seeing this I am getting anxious to getting my next TacOps with the new bottom metal.

Has anyone had any luck getting ahold of Mike in the last few weeks?
.
I spoke to Mike on the phone about a week and a half back. He seemed busy as always, but no indication that comms were down or there was a reason to believe something was awry. Just call him again, its like he never sleeps anyway
