I got in on the CMP 40X deal (complete heavy barrel). I'm really excited about this rifle. Was wondering what everyone else is planning to do with theirs?
My plan is to turn mine into a trainer for my 700 LTR. I'd like to get it as close as possible to weight / feel / etc. To that end:
-Cut and recrown barrel to 20"
-Install LTR stock (I WTB if anyone has a take-off!)
-Install Badger bolt knob
-Install SAS suppressor mount brake. (Not for the brake's sake, but the ability to mount my 7.62 stainless SAS can on it. Although I've heard 22 is a no-no through centerfire cans, apparently Tim @ SAS says no worries and he'll fix it if anything bugs up...)
-Install and shim one piece scope base (probably an EGW for this trainer).
Those are my immediate plans. I'm also keeping a close eye on CDI's repeater conversion progress. If that takes off then that will definitely be on my list also. I also need to figure out a decent scope that is reasonably priced. My 308 wears a USO SN3 (IPHY / IPHY), but I just can't justify spending that much for a scope for a 22. I love the IPHY / MOA system, but man I wish someone would make a $500 class scope with it.
Does anyone know if the 40X heavy barrel will fit OK in an LTR stock? I'm hoping so.
So, what are YOUR plans for your 40X???
