Thats pretty sweet deal.

Pic your caliber as loing as it's not something like .338 Lapua or something of that nature?

Does that include your choice of stock between Mcmillan or Manners? Also your choise of barrel lenght?

Color of metal coating and stock camo?

I'm sure some of this can't be standard but just wanting to know.

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Our rifles are top shelf.Personally observing Michael May,our rifle gunsmith,he pays such attention to every detail that I don't see how a rifle can be built any better.

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Sorry K9222 it's taken me this long to get the details you wanted!The 338 Lapua changes the base price from $3795.00 to $4625.00.That upgrade comes with Surgeon action and integral rail.Pick your stock and barrel length no additional charge for that unless you go with the Manners w/adjustable cheek weld($155.00).Standard finish is Perma kote and Camo is an upgrade.If you need more details on the camo I can give them to ya also.

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

if anyone wants to read a great article about NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM RIFLES, check this out. From GUNS MAGAZINE.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_7_56/ai_n56222150/

The author is a avid shooter and borrowed a NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM that Terry Cross won in a shooting contest. It impressed the hell out of me.

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

That looks great and is a great deal.

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

BTW awesome video on the site.^

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Basically custom finish 3 is similar to the B.D.U.s in digital green that our Marines wear.We also can do that in desert digital, desert camo, woodland camo and numerous other camo configurations.Let me know what your looking for,good chance we can do it for you Blackops_2.Thanks for the welcome!

 

[5RWill]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

NP man. Will do when the time comes. I have to finish my rifle first. It's shootable right now but i'm looking to add a new trigger, barrel, and BDM. Then it will be time to paint.

 

[SFC Carpentier jr]

[Shortdraw]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

That's quite the endorsement, working on one of George Gardner's firearms. Welcome to the Hide.

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Yes it is mnshortdraw.Were grateful for any man that declares truth about us at Nighthawk Custom! Thanks to all who have welcomed us so graciously, you included sir.

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

George your 1911 is finished and looks beautiful. We'll be shipping it today sir ! Thanks again for everything you've done for us.

 

[Blackhawk95]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

What loads are those guys running in those .45acp's? seems like the recoil is really low?

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Sorry Blackhawk95, can you be more specific on what guys your referring to so I can answer your question as accurately as possible? Thanks.

 

[Lofty]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

He's referring to the video up above....Chris and Tavis shooting the Predators.

Having shot with Chris and knowing something about their shooting styles, I'd say it's more a technique issue. These are guys that shoot probably 5000 rounds a month. They know how to control a .45 I'd guess.

Unless I'm wrong and those 1911"s were chambered in 9mm.

The bull barrels on the Predators also help manage the recoil more than one would expect. I have 2 of the Talons and 1 Predator, when compared side-by-side the difference is noticeable. Nighthawk 1911's just shoot, fit and finish is excellent and they have always been great to talk with. I wish making a choice on which rifle to buy was as easy for me as which pistol. My life would be a lot simpler.
Sorry if I’m off topic!

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

I see what you mean Blackhawk95 after watching our video again.Thanks for bringing that to my attention Lofty.I'll get you guys the correct answer to that today after I go into the shop this morning and ask some of the people who would truly know.Thanks.

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Runamuk,call me at Nighthawk today,or better yet come visit us for a cup of "joe" and some southern hospitality and I'll show you around the place and meet Michael May our rifle maker. His work I believe will convince you to try Nighthawk Custom as your next rifle build.Thanks for jumping in and helping out,appreciate it!Bill at (877)268-4867,ext 236.

They also have that weight at the end of the barrel which help tame recoil.

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

It's cool to see two top names in the game admire each others work and the guys over at GAP welcome another heavy hitter into their arena.

It sure beats the crying and panty twisting name calling that usually happens.

Good on both of ya.

 

[Bill@Nighthawk]

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Blackhawk95,in that video Chris Costa is either using his Predator with a bull barrel that does reduce recoil or he is shooting another one of the 3 pistols he has from us in 9MM which would also explain the reduced recoil your seeing.Nice observation on your part,not to mention the guy just plain knows how to handle his weapons far better than the average Joe.

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Can someone please let me know the manufacturer of this muzzle brake?

Thank you.

Re: Nighthawk Custom Rifles

Knowing Chris and his typical choice of suppressor lately, I'd have to guess Surefire.

Looks like a MB762-211C
