I took a look at your pics and then, since I was in the nieghborhood stopped by where your guns are being carefully stored. At first glance it looks like the scopes are up higher then normal, but after getting behind one with the adjustable cheek rest, while laying prone, it felt very natural. Just to satisfy my curiosity I grabbed a set of TPS medium rings off the shelf and matched up the center line of the rings on the US Optics scope and the TPS and they were the same hieght. The TPS mediums happen to be the same as I have on my gun. What I found different though with the help of "the un-nameable one" is that the PGW action has a 1/8" or close to flat top on the action and then the 20MOA base gets bolted onto it from there. Right off the bat you've gained about 1/8" before even setting a scope on it. Then you've chosen to go with a 35mm tube which adds another 2.5mm to the hieght of the scope off the barrel so you're looking at roughly 1/4" more then first putting a 30mm tube scope on your gun followed by the extra metal on top of the action. You're going to be able to gain back a max of probably 1/8" just because of the limits of material on the rims themselves, but with an adjustable stock like the one you've chosen, which is top notch by the way, you've got all that covered. This is classic cattle mentality. I hope everyone that has commented negatively has learnt something by what I've pointed out here. Your scope doesn't have to lay on the barrel because of your stock choice. It's not like you're trying to mount this scope on top of a carry handle on your AR or anything but I guess you guys have waited this long.

Just waiting for some Low rings. We decided to take the scopes down a notch. Here are some photos of both mine and my buddy's rifles together. Mine is the black one:

A vat of molten salt?LOL now you have me wondering.If its stainless then its not parkerized....interesting.

Yes, Stainless Steel can not be parkerised.

It has to be some other type of coating/finish.

The S&W M&P series pistols have stainless steel slides that are finished with a Matte Black Melonite finish.

Teflon, Gun Kote, and Dura-coat type coatings could also have been used.

Just For the info of members here, the rifle builder who constructed these two rigs has been banned from CGN and his name or business is not to be mentioned here as per the Admin. He is called "HWSNBN" (He Who Shall Not Be Named) here on CGN. Sorry.

SKBY.

Iron Brigade Armory uses a finish called Manowar on all their rifles and MUESOC pistols. I have been told that it is one of the toughest coatings out there, but it is very expensive. It is a salt/corrosion finish that is applied to all parts and surfaces with several coats and it is not easy to scrath it once it has set.
 
The salt blackening process is quite involved but it turns out incredibly. He who can't be named but really should be 'HWCBNBRSB' blackened a Desert Eagle for me that had many years of wear. When I first saw it before getting blackened, I seriously doubted how new it would look after blackening but after the process, it looked brand new. To me, it's a new handgun. Whatever you do, don't try to scrub the blackening out of the barrel. It's just colour in the pours.
 
I just ran a brand new load through my HS 308 today. Its with 175gr SMK's, lapua brass, 210m primers. Its a departure from my usual lapua 154gr load.

First load I tested with the 175gr SMK sighted and grouped well at 100m, I then did a 5 shot group @ 200m and WOW,,, I think these are going to run better than my old pet load.

Pictures of todays results to follow.
