I'd like to share with you guys the newest addition to my addiction.... I mean collection.

I just received it and promised Mike I'd get a few pics posted.
This rifle was spec'd out by myself and the guys at Tactical Operations came through.

Rem 700 SA/RH .308
Krieger 1/10tw 4 groove SS M40 Contour barrel threaded w/ protector finished at 25 1/4"
TAC OPS Recoil lug
McMillan A1 Textured & painted by TAC OPS w/ TAC OPS Stock pack
Jewell trigger with safety & bolt release set at 1lb
TAC OPS Bottom Metal
TAC OPS (2 piece) Scope Bases
TAC OPS Bolt Handle
All metal finished for TAC OPS by Birdsong
TAC OPS did include a set of Leupold Mk4 Rings which turned out to be too tall, but I will send them back for a lower set also to be finished by Birdsong.

Mounted up a brand new out of the box USO SN3 3.2-17x44 30mm Black GAP Reticle EREK 1/10 US#3 1/10 sitting in LOW 30mm Seekins rings.

Pay close attention to the test target and thanks for looking!

Any close up pics of the Tac Ops BM?
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Jesus, that's a sweet group!
I'm using the term "group" very loosely, as it's really more of a "hole".
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

That is AWESOME Outlaw, great gun and even better shooting! Happy New Year too you!!HAHA
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

I've got a Lima 66 on order and looking at your rifle just makes me drool. Thanks for the rifle porn... and what a group!
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Did the EASY button cost extra?

Shit, that's an awesome rifle - can't believe the test target! I've got a Tango51 and an Echo51, and these pics still make me want more. Just spectacular rifles, congrats to you!
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

OH MY!

Congratulations that is one beautiful rifle and a lazer as always.
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Thanks guys! I did update the post with a few things. I will get pics of the bottom metal and some group pics using Southwest Ammunition 175gr ammo.
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Holly Hannah! Great shooting and obviously the rifle is expertly crafted!
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Beautiful! What's the barrel length? Looks like 26" or so.
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

You woulda thought that group woulda been better - LOL!!!!

Awesome rifle!!!
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Mike shot that group shown and I've got no idea what he used for support. I do know he used a Premier 5-25.
I did shoot some tight ass 5 shot groups prone with a Harris bi-pod.
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

That is a beautiful rig ! As stated, Mike and Crew make top
shelf stuff.

Mike uses a front rest with a sandbag and a "rabbit ear" sandbag in the back for certifying his rifles.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: vkc</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Was that target shot from a vice? That is amazing. </div></div>
No. Mike Rescigno NEVER shoots from a vice. He uses a simple front rest and a small sandbag up front, and a "rabbit ear" rear bag. Mike uses the same setup to certify the accuracy of all Tac Ops rifles.

All Tac Ops rifles are guaranteed to shoot .25 MOA or better at 100 yards using Federal Gold Medal Match (factory) ammunition, although Mike almost always does the accuracy testing and certifications at 110 yards, which is the range distance at the LASD SEB Headquarters.

Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Nice stick (sts) Outlaw! No doubt a "happy" New Year with that thing now in the stable. Congrats!

All Tac Ops rifles and suppressors are built-to-order so you'll have to call and speak with Mike Rescigno directly. Call Mike Rescigno's office and leave a message the receptionist with your full name, Hide' name, telephone number, and state that you'd like to discuss build specifics and pricing with Mike Resigno and Mike will get back to you.

Please do not call repeatedly without leaving a message. Mike is extremely busy building rifles and suppressors most of the time (where he belongs), and you rarely - if ever, catch him in the office. TIA.

Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

For me to shoot groups like that I'd need heat seekers with a mouse's nose taped to target!!! WOW!! I'm impressed nice rig!""

Holy crap. Nice groups!!!
 
Re: TAC OPS M40A1 --- Happy New Year to me!

Nice shooting and photos <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">OutlawTen5</span></span>. Not only is the Birdsong "color" pretty accurate, but the <span style="font-style: italic">chamferred, soft edges</span> on the receiver and recoil lug and the Tac Ops bottom metal can be seen too.

What makes <span style="font-style: italic">"5-600 yd"</span> groups relevant?
