What optic and mount is that?I couldn't weather the desire to put a 20" barrel on the aug so I bit the bullet:
Elcan OS4x, it's an externally zeroed optic so that isn't a mount, it's part of the optic. It has an RMR mounted to the top.What optic and mount is that?
That's nice. When you get it to the range. Give us a range report.Not sure how many of you have been following along, didn't know or maybe don't care but there is a company that is manufacturing new T/C Contender frames. Apparently an original wait list was started back in 2019 for these and it took the company some time to get tooling and produce prototypes and eventually end up with their final product. The first frames were shipped out back in October of last year. I didn't find out about these until August of last year and put my name on the list meaning I was going to be towards the bottom when these started shipping. The frames were only going through one website to handle the OG wait list. I'm not entirely sure what happened but the company producing these decided to ship frames to other retailers as well. I had the frame checked on 2 other websites for notification when they became available and this past Tuesday I just happened to check my phone at the right time. Normally when these are available they do not last long and out of stock they go for an undetermined amount of time. The website I got mine through will only allow 1 per purchase (which is fair) and your notification is no longer valid (meaning if you want another you better get back on there and click the box). As it stands my name is still on the OG wait list on the other site. I would like 1 or 2 more of these but for now I can definitely wait. I picked up an original G1 Contender frame (mountain lion) at an auction in the summer of '22. That was my first T/C purchase ever. I started looking into the aftermarket and quickly fell down the rabbit hole. Early '23 I bought the stock set that is in the pic but no barrel. I did get a .44 mag pistol barrel at the same auction to go with the G1 and they still reside together. Last summer some barrels went on sale and I picked up a 20" threaded .35 Remington. I have since received my suppressor that was in jail when the barrel was purchased but it can be used for the .35. I know which scope I'm going to put on it but haven't done that yet. I'll throw the can on and take more pics later.
I picked up a Savage 99 in .300 Savage at the Tipton Gun Show today.
I saw that rifle there today too. I grabbed this CZ 455 .22lr today on an impulse. I was there with a friend with no intentions of buying anything. I was kicking around the idea of a .22 suppressor host a few weeks back... Saw this and decided to snag it.
I knew I should have stayed home lol...
Now if I could find some brass for a reasonable price, I’ll be in business.
