I have been doing some research on tube guns. Looks like a pretty accurate type of rifle. I see alot of them being used in Palma shooting. Any one using them for a tac rifle? Thoughts and if you are using one could you give me your specs and who built it for you.

Re: Tube Guns
I have owned and shot both an elisio and a mak in tactical comps.
I liked both very well. Personally I would lean towards the elisio for F class type shooting, and a mak for tactical / field type shooting.
My mak was built by Nate @ straight shot gunsmithing , he did an excellent job.
The elisio had a Pierce action which I highly reccomend .

Re: Tube Guns
I have a MAK and think it is a fantastic platform for a tactical build. It has the benefit of supporting any A2 style buttstock. Elisio makes good stuff also.

^^ Steve , this is almost identical to my Mac, I do regret selling that one. The 6x47 is a great round for the aics mags as well.

Re: Tube Guns
I think I saw a pic of yours once or maybe it was Scott's ???
Looks like Nathan built 2-3 of them nearly identical. Been a great rifle. He must be a super gunsmith because the first barrel shot like a friggen 6PPC.
Itching for a TRG22 now. All because of Scott "the corrupter",LOL.

Re: Tube Guns
Gary makes a great Tactical tube gun kit. I also use mine for XTC. 6BR, Remmy action, Bartlein bbl., Vortex 4-16 PST mil/mil, Versapod bipod (Tubb mod) and of course a CSS RTS tube gun stock w/custom Cerakote camo war-paint.

Steve,
nice rifle! Considering the same set-up in a 6XC.
Glued action into the stock? Weight? Barrel contour? Balance? Any problems with the bottom safety Jewell trigger?
Thanks

Re: Tube Guns
Thanks Kevin,
I haven't had a scale around since I moved but IIRC it was 16.5lbs as is in the pic with the Nightforce 5.5-22.
The action isn't glued in because I had been considering a Surgeon action for it which never happened.
Oops...I forgot to put the barrel contour. It's a Tubb contour,a little lighter than medium palma I believe. Balances just about right,a tad front heavy. I might do a fluted Tubb contour next time.
No problems with the Jewel so far. A little tricky getting the DBM past the safety knob but other than that it doesn't get in the way of your fingers or anything else. Got it set at 22oz.
I tried shooting a couple of my other rifles at the AZPRC today for the fun of it. The conclusion is that it's pretty darn hard to beat my MAK. Does everything well.
