aaahahahahahhahahahaa. (Homer Simpson gurgle). You had me at Brushed Nickel. That would be something to behold.

Brushed nickel sounds like the color of a doorknob . I was hoping for the raw aluminum look. Like the BRO.

Isn't there a MH out there with a natural metal clearcoat - maybe the one that "whokilledbambi" had built??

They are both running a match grade stainless steel barrel. Chambered in .223 wylde, so they will fire 5.56 NATO and 223 Remington, but once again we are using a Timney match grade trigger. The potential exists for light primer strikes on military hard primers. I chose my words carefully, because in all probability it will function, but a potential still exists. It still begs the question of why put junk ammo through a top notch gun, and using ammo that doesn't adhere to SAAMI specs will void any warrantys. Too many stories of Norinco blowing up an AR for my liking.

Thanks for your response

No. Only the 1st prototype we sent to the SFSS?RCMp we did not bother to anodize it.
ALL production rifles are anodized to surface harden the exposed surfaces.
ALL of the uppers and lowers will be anodized milspec type 3 and black, unless the CeraKote options are selected.

How is the modern varmint progress going? Hopefully start shipping them in a month or so?

Yes a update would be nice so a guy can plan his financing a head of time

Nope!

Mine was anodized black just like all the others

We are progressing nicely and anticipate deliveries will start in late June, assuming no hold ups from the furniture suppliers.

It's getting pretty exciting the 338fedral upper is just about ready a new lighter 6.5CM barrel and soon MV.
I am realy going to have to learn how to reload

 

[Brianma65]

Hey there folks, might I ask what optic your planning on? I'm trying to figure out what optic to go with VX6 1-6 or 3-18. Decisions Dicisions ... LOL. It's gonna be a range- bush, target shooter- plinker. Maybe a coyote, if I ever see one...

I have a 2.5-10 vortex to get it up and running but I plan to acquire a S&B short dot in 1-8 power. This will be a close range coyote gun as well as other playing.

I Believe i have to go with the lightweight scopes for both MH and MV to be viable hunting rifle

 

[Brianma65]

My range is being opened up to 300 yards this summer so I was wondering if the 1-6 would be suitable.

That's an awesome scope. To bad I'm already tapped out on the gun($4700+ txs). I think I'll have to settle for the VX6 1-6.

 

[Patt08]

Not sure yet. Been looking at the zeiss hd5 3-15x42, viper pst ffp 2.5-10x32 etc. Guess I'll have to wait and see when the final rifle payment is due to know what I have to spend haha.

 

[Brianma65]

Ya, the more I think about it, higher magnification seems to be the answer. Maybe a VX6 3-18 .

 

[carverk]

Still undecided on scope I know I need a Quality lightweight hunting scope

blows my mind that people are running garbage ammo through these $$$$$ Ferrari style guns.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
