Quick intro, new to the site.

[CalicoJ531]

Hello everyone, names Jordan and I'm from eastern-central PA. I've been lurking the past few months and decided to join after bringing home my late Christmas present this evening. SPS Tac .308

I'm not new to guns, But this is my first larger caliber boltgun and basically my start at long range marksmanship. My next step is to obviously get some glass on 'er, and stock up on cartridges. I do want to change the stock, probably going AICS or McMillan with new bottom metal. Then onto Atlas V8 etc. May take a bit but I have a few other projects in the works so I try to give them equal attention.

I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible and hope eventually I can contribute something positive to the community.

Good starter rifle. Should be fun modifying it too.

Remember the SH search button in the top left sucks, but the Google one performs very well:

Re: Quick intro, new to the site.

Thanks. Yea, I'm prepared. Like I said I have a couple other projects going so I kind of jump around from build to build. She'll get done though.

One thing I have to do is remove some material from the stock. It touches the barrel without having any load on it. Looking at picking up a Bushnell Elite or trying the Vortex Viper until I can afford to pick up a USOptic or something.

I know you probably haven't shot it yet but I would be curious to know if yours scratches the hell out of the brass when you have a full magazine and you cycle through the rounds. Mine did this and I had to polish the feed rails and the magazine lip to get it down to a light scratch from a very brutal scratch. Other than that it shoots very well.

Re: Quick intro, new to the site.

You're doing it all wrong. I joined the site to get an idea of what to start with, and after two(three?) years, I"m just more confused as to what to buy. I'll get around to getting something other than shotguns and handguns eventually.

Welcome. Great gun. I've got the same thing. Great gun to start on and then slowly set up and mod out how you want.

Re: Quick intro, new to the site.

Thanks guys. Yes exactly why I bought it, great pricepoint for a rifle I plan to mod anyways.

I'm going to pick up some ammo on payday, I'll let you know if it brutalizes brass.
