LOL the one good thing about these scopes is that if you don't like something about one, you can sell it here for a very minimal loss.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Mike</span>, you are abso-fuckin-lutely right. Personally, I've always believed in quality over quantity, and to that end if I have to wait longer and/or save a while longer to get the best product out there I do. Tac Ops machining tolerances, attention-to-detail, and finish are beyond anything else that I have seen and have had the priviledge to fire, including friends rifles built by shops that are very popular shops on this board.
I've said it before - there are lots of well-known, popular shops out there that build great rifles that are accurate and nicely finished, but none of them compare to Tac Ops quality, accuracy, attention-to-detail, or customer service.
I have been to the range twice now to fire my X-Ray, and while I need more practice to be more consistent and better able to get the best out of my X-Ray, I did shoot some 100 yard .25 MOA groups. My best group measured .022", <span style="font-style: italic">well-under</span>. (This is using FGMM 168gr.)
For anyone interested in seeing the X-Ray in action, I'm planning on heading to ASR next Monday (10/28). I'll be set-up at the west end of the range. See you there.

Re: TacOps order placed!
I know Mike is busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest right now. So wait times could be longer. Also, it depends on suppliers. Once you order your rifle he starts ordering the parts, such as your stock from McMillan; which is a six month wait. One other factor is you could get bumped if there is a law enforcement agency or military agency orders rifles as Mike puts them before regular retail customers. The best thing to do is order it than try not to think about it until he calls you.

Re: TacOps order placed!
Why not have him engrave Tera Patrick holding the TacOps on your floor plate.
It will look realistic. All engraving is done by hand with hammer in chisel.
I requested this on mine and it came out better than i imagined:

Congrats on your decision. Now that Tac Ops will be producing their own bottom metal, with some luck the wait for your A5 will be the limiting factor.

Re: TacOps order placed!
Your clear as mud answer is that it varies based on what you spec with Mike. The best thing to do is call him and he'll get you dialed in. It's hard to believe that some say his prices are high, in reality his prices are consistent with the other handful of top tier producers. He'll do packages with bedded bases, drag bags, scope mounting, and more. I also like that every one of them gets proofed.
If you decide to order, it will take a while,,,but so what. If you give them a fair shake and don't decide to order, it can't be because of the price.
One of my favorite things about Mike and the TAC OPS crew that's all but forgotten these days is this: It will exceed the performance and quality you'd expect,,, or it would have never left the shop, period. In the upper echelon of precision rifles, I find their platforms to be a great value.

Re: TacOps order placed!
Just look at it as that time will pass anyway but you have something great coming and the longer you wait to place the order the more time you will have to wait. When if you would have ordered the first time you thought about it it would be that much closer to shipping date. Thats what I kept in my mind for my Lima. Pictures really do not do these rifles justice at all. I thought I knew what I expected but when the dealer popped the case open OMG what an amazing piece of art work.
Everyone in the gun shop just flocked to that side of the room like vultures asking "Damn what kind of rifle is that?" Everytime I look or better yet stare at my Lima it just never ceases to impress me. Even shooting it is always a joy.

Re: TacOps order placed!
George, I didn't think about that as an option. How long were you without? I guess that he could order it and texture it while you are shooting, so the actual down time probably isn't that long. Hmmm...
