Tactifool Hunting Rifle - Taking Tactical To Far

Pistol grip rifles are just more comfy to shoot. That one I think looks ugly, but function over form.

Still there are nicer looking pistol grip rifles...

I have to agree. I spent a whole weekend small game hunting in varied terrain, often tight brush with an 870 and by the end of it all the wrist on my trigger hand was sore! I was contemplating how nice a bull pup styled shotgun with a pistol grip would be by the end. The natural position of the wrist on a pistol grip and the shorter OAL without sacrificing barrel length would have been a god send.

I said, I believe anyone who is qualified should be able to own what ever they want including full auto rifles. My point is how goofy they're getting with this, the mossberg tactical lever, and the stoeger tactical coach gun. Whats next a Tactical Muzzleloader?

I'm currently building a wheel lock muzzle loader that is going in a Tapco T6 fusion. :)
Why?
Because I can and it will be comical.
I mean who doesn't nead a 62 cal smooth bore with interchangeable choke tubes, pistol grip ram rod, pictany rails with co witnessing fiber optic pins and red dot. Patch box built into the pistol grip,bipod, and a 5/30 762x39 mag gutted out and turned into a powder horn...oh and a 6 position stock.

I like rifles that are functional but that are also pleasing to the eye, my tastes running towards classic stocks and running away from the California style stocks which were popular for a while. Yet while both styles are quite functional, it is unlikely that both styles will appeal to any one individual. This rig may indeed be functional, and it may indeed appeal to some, and those who do not like it don't need to buy it.

But what I see is a rifle that when scoped with a big optic, mounted as we often see with the ocular a couple of inches behind the cocking piece, will produce a scope rash of massive proportions, particularly if chambered in .300 Winchester or better yet .338 Ultra so as to maximize its long range potential.

On the positive side, at least it doesn't come with a chainsaw handle . . . yet.

I have serious doubts about that nodoubt plastic telescopeing stock being capable of handling the recoil of a 300Wsm or 338 lap
I'm thinking 308 and smaller for available calibers. Maybe 223, 243, 7mm08. 22-250
 
Take your trigger hand, thumb up like the fonz, now point your index finger...look at that your hand naturally goes into a pistol grip.

we used to joke about taking a 2x4, spraybombing it black and calling it a 'tactical stud', seeing how many we could sell- I bet it would be a LOT :)

I had an AR style adjustable stock on a shotgun (with a pistol grip) I used to own and I found it to be versatile. And it worked well around different jackets and vests, various shooting positions and ergonomics of different shooters be they new or old.

You may not like the look but that doesn't change the fact that it works well for many shooters be they new or old.

There are better ways to adjust LOP than an AR telestock, just take one peak at the SAGE stock for the 870. Buffer tube AR stocks make zero sense on things that have no functioning buffer tube! In fact, it makes the firearm longer than it needs to be, as it could have a LOP adjustable side folder that would shrink the length right to the butt of the pistol grip folded. Same argument for a collapsing design like SAGE's. They're glued onto everything from shotguns, to now bolt, and... lever actions, and none of them need a buffer tube. They're there because they're cheap, and, they're popular in the movies.
 
I challenge anyone who is making derogatory comments about this rifle to go to a bench or their favorite long range stand and actually try it..... pistol grip, heavy barrel and adjustable axiom stock..... the perfect accuracy combination.... don't knock it until you try it....

It's not my type of gun but I have shot the Weatherby equivalent and can honestly say it was a true tack driver.... or "tac" driver I guess..... :)

It's not my cup of tea but I can see this rifle having a place in the field....

And Lujuque, don't apologize.... in spite of what the CGN crowd will tell you, it's ok not to like something..... just remember that owning and using a tactical looking gun doesn't make you a "tactifool"..... yo uneed to also meet some other criteria...... :)

Is it ok to have a mossy oak ninja gee?
 
Before I discovered better ways to make a living, I spent a LOT of time traveling between camps in western Canada, in and out of commercial flights and lots and lots of small aircraft.

Not being a fan of shotguns, and with hunting opportunities possible here and there, I always had a bolt action rifle dissassembled into a 'poor-mans takedown' wrapped in a couple wool shirts and stuffed in my duffle.

While I agree there is very little reason to adapt an AR butt to that rifle, I kind of like the idea and wish I had one twenty years ago.
 
There are design features which enhance the utility and effectiveness of given firearms.
There are also design features which are de rigeur for the mirror and gunshop kommandos and mall ninjas.
Sometimes these overlap.
Sales can be stimulated either way.
Good for the consumer, good for the manufacturer, dealer.

The rifle in question would benefit if there were a provision for vertical adjustment of the comb. There are M4ish stocks which incorporate this adjustment.
 
Ya i have to agree that you don`t need to apologize. You can express your opinion as weel as anybody else hear. Sometimes we get a nice freindly bit of name calling going, thats life. Stick to your guns so to speak and only change your opinion if the other guy is 6'8 and 380 lbs.;)

I agree whole heartedly.... the pistol grip layout looks very well done but yes, the axiom is a bit "over the top" FOR MY TASTES

I am someone who really likes fine wood on a gun.... but let's be honest here, wood is not the most durable material.... and fancy gloss walnut doesn't serve any real purpose other than to be pleasing on the eye... everyone has a different eye, what pleases one person doesn't always please another...

Bottom line is as long as you hunt safely and ethically and with consideration for your fellow hunters and you are proficient with whatever you are shooting then I am all for it....

Disclaimer: I reserve the right to make fun of you if you are carrying a mossberg tactical lever action
 
What pissses me of is not that there is a persistant "Fudd VS Tacticool" thing here.....no. What pisses me off is that:

A: It is ALWAYS the fudd's who feel the need to post threads like this. Here's an idea: Don't like it? Don't look at it. You don't see any of the tacticool guys starting a thread about the latest A-bolt do ya? When was the last time you saw a guy start a thread about the Winchester Lever "Walnut and Blue, Taking Fudtastick too far!" ?

B: Directly related to A, it's the fudds who are always whining about how the other side is "immature".....ironic.

Just sayin'
