Once again a thread has made me build a rifle. I did have an extra SSA to use though
 . Rocking the Recce 5 until my AEM5 is cleared sometime next year. Pulled the 2.5-10 off my Mod 1 as I have a 3:5-15 NXS coming for it. Any suggestions for a red dot to mount on the TRR?

Sent adco my barrel and rail and told them I wanted a credit card to fit between the rail and can. It’s perfect. |

I would think hi temp silver solder would be best method vs blind pin possibly damaging the threads. |

I’ve decided optics wise I’m going to save my pennies go for the NF 2.5-10x24. I like the combo of weight, power and asthetics.
Until all those pennies are saved up I will be sporting a Burris XTR 1-5 just to have the gun on the range. Yes I know this is not correct but I want to shoot the gun in the months it will take to save up for the NF. |
