Well, the wait is just about over. I just got the call from Mike, and my X-Ray51 is just about ready to ship. I am so looking forward to seeing this thing in the flesh and getting it to the range. I will definitely post pics when it gets here, and hopefully will have a comprehensive range report when it gets warmer outside.

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
Congrats! My wait is just about over as well. Mike told me to call him in about 2 weeks.

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
Originally ordered as an X-Ray 51, but dropped into a McM A1.
It will be marked "M40A1"

Can't go wrong with a Tac Ops? Don't make me laugh! You can go wrong; really, really wrong. I see your already on the path. You already have one Tac Ops, yet you ordered another. I would say something is wrong. You need to order more
I am afraid to call Mike to see how my .260 build is going (Mike told me to call him at the end of Jan.). The reason for this is I might order something else. I'll give you an example. I ordered a Tac Ops Echo 51 and I couldn't wait; I talked to Mike again. Bam! another rifle on order. That's not all!
When I took delivery of these rifles I found out I was relocating to Texas for work. You guess it I ordered two suppressors for the rifles. But I couldn't stop I had to order another rifle, so I ordered a .260. You would think I could stop; it's just not possible. Once you shoot these rifles you want more.
I called Mike again and Bam! I ordered another rifle. This time I ordered a Green Hornet. As you can see something has totally gone wrong. I can't stop! I am a Tac Ops addict! It looks to me, your on your way to being a Tac Ops addict too.
Jamie
P.S.- hope it was a little funny; that's what I was going for. Also, I think I will call Mike and order something else these week

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
Uh, Jamie, you know if some of your apparent boatload of cash were to fall off a truck in front of my house, I wouldnt complain.
Just sayin'
And, I too agree the products that Mike puts out there are incredible technical achievements. Congratulations on nearing the end of your own wait!

I save my funds for my toys. I dress like a bum and I drive a F150, plane jane, truck. If you met me, you would see a regular guy dressed very poorly.

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
Well, hopefully mine has hit Birdsong's and will be here before the end of the month. If I don't get it before my kid is born in April it's going to be a while before I get to shoot it... Oh the agony!
It looks like there's going to be a lot of new TacOps porn on the internet soon...!

There's nothing better in the whole world than holding our baby in your arms. I mean your Tac Ops; just kidding! A whole new world awaits you with your new baby. People can never understand the feeling of having their own children, until they actually have their own children. You will feel so much joy. Enjoy this blessed moment in your life and cherish for as long as you can.
Best wishes,
Jamie
Now go order another Tac Ops before the baby is born; children cost a lot

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
Thank you mate, and of course you're right. I'm already daydreaming of teaching the boy how to shoot with it. No doubt he'll want one of his own... Hey, that's a good reason to call Mike...!

I can see this vicious cycle starting in my life. It seems to be the only way to help get through the wait process. You call him up to see how it is going and to make yourself feel better, you order another one.
Waiting on a Tango right now but I got a bad (or good depending how you look at it) feeling that a green hornet is next in line.
Is there a Tac-Ops anonaymous?

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
I've played with a green hornet when I was at Mike's office. Who'd have thought a .22 could be so completely menacing!?
Chubby-thanks for the congrats. It's going to be a busy 2011.

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
I'm trying to play out the conversation to get another rifle...
"Honey, I want to order another rifle from Mike today."
"Are you nuts? We have a baby on the way, we will need every penny when he's born."
"Exactly!"
Hmmm.... I don't think she'll see the logic... women!
On a serious note, I'm toying with the idea of asking Mike if he could do a Tango for the .375H&H. Because it'd be a pure hunting rifle I wouldn't need sniper fill but would like iron sights on it. Maybe with quick detach mounts like Blasers... that would be sweeeeet!

Sounds like you'll need a trip to the "last wilderness" (Alaska) or the dark continent to really employ that rifle as it should be done...
Got any clients in either place? Do I smell "business expense"? LOL

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
Very nice Keith. Is that an AFAR rail you have there? I need one of those. As for rings, I am gonna go with American Rifle Company 35mm rings, bc I am gonna mount a Vortex Razor on top. Took a lot of thought, but I opted that route instead of the originally planned Nightforce.

The matches are only every other month, and they aren't dedicated F-T/R matches. They are actually F-OPEN, so we're shooting our .308s' against 6mm, 6.5x47L, .260s', and 7mms' - some of them flat bottom stocks in mechanical rests. But the right driver having a good day behind FGMM 175s' and a Tac Ops can give the 6.5x47Ls' a run for their money.

I didn't see a date on the article but I'd say that was before he got his TacOps rifle. If I remember rightly, Tactical called it 'the Holland&Holland' of sniper rifles.

Hmmm. You are in a bit of a sticky wicket, my friend. I hope you're not a light-sleeper. If you are, once your son is born you probably won't sleep for six months or so, and your wife won't let you leave the house except for work. Can you say <span style="font-style: italic">"sleep deprivation"?</span> Your eyes will be bloodshoot, your mind will be at it the breaking point, and you wil be on the ragged edge. Jamie can tell you.
On the bright side, your Tango can always stay at my house - I'll even let it play with my X-Ray 51 at the range.

Hmmm. You are in a bit of a sticky wicket, my friend. I hope you're not a light-sleeper. If you are, once your son is born you probably won't sleep for six months or so, and your wife won't let you leave the house except for work. Can you say <span style="font-style: italic">"sleep deprivation"?</span> Your eyes will be bloodshoot, your mind will be at it the breaking point, and you wil be on the ragged edge. Jamie can tell you.
On the bright side, your Tango can always stay at my house - I'll even let it play with my X-Ray 51 at the range.

Re: TacOps X-Ray51 is ready
When I worked on the TIS Rifle concept with GAP, the A3/A5 stock was not available, so I picked the A5 as closest stock to what I wanted. When I had TacOps build my rifle I had them use an A3/A5. Hence I like that rifle better now.
One day I will do another TIS Concept rifle and have it made with an A3/A5 stock.
These two rifles where built for different purposes
TIS was for field work carrying rifle long distances etc.
Tac51 was designed for LE Precision HRT type work.
Both are great as designed.
Anyway you look at it either of the rifles mentioned is so much better than anyone who shoots them it does not matter which one you use. Cant they all be my favorites? LOL
