Gun, muzzle break, bipod, scope base, Leupold 8.5x25x50 IR scope, Leupold rangefinder, 146 rounds of custom loaded ammo, 24 pieces of brass, drag bag/soft case.
Retail on all items about $7,400, about $2k less. My first big gun purchase in a couple of years.
Now to find reloading stuff.

Shit - that's better than new. You only have about 175 rounds left 'til the barrel's broken in!Quote:

Oh yeah - here's my new deer rifle:

It will get the obligatory stealth camo paint job as soon as it gets warmer out.
This looks like a good place for my first post.

Picked up the TRG today. Fine piece of workmanship. I'll throw up some pics when I get to the range. Had a bunch of extra stuff I didn't know about, bore brushes, bore guide. Laser range finder is cool.
Other than picking up the rifle, the day pretty much sucked. Car has one of these computer auto lock features, not supposed to lock if the keys are inside. Wrong. Ink pen exploded in my favorite ski jacket. Stormed and rained all the way home, 3 hour drive. Did I mention standing in the rain 2 hours with the locksmith. Scratched the door post on the car. FML!!!!!
What kind of scope is that? I've never seen on that looks like that; it looks like it's on backwards (I'm sure this isn't the case). You should move it forward though; where it is now makes your BUIS unuseable.Quote:

Didn't really think that you need that for a range. :DQuote:

I was going to ask you where you shoot. It's hard to get a lot of range unless you're in the West. I've got a few areas that are 600-1000+, but they're few and far between. And shooting in some alfalfa feild is pretty boring.Quote:

I think they are in the process of making an adapter for a TRG and might be available soon.Quote:

M2A1 US WWII 105mm howitzer. One of only a very few in private hands in the United States. This cannon is capable of blank fire only. There is a 1" steel bar welded inside the barrel to prevent loading a live round. The howitzer comes with two inert rounds: the M1 HE shell and the M67 HEAT shell. 60 shell cases are also included for loading blanks. The howitzer weighs around 5,000 pounds. Breech/firing mechanism works flawlessly, as does the traversing and elevation. Armor shields swing up and down with ease. This cannon shakes the earth when it is fired and can be heard from miles away. Located in Paris,TN and can be picked up or shipped via freight. Photos below; video links at bottom of page. $47,000.

Hadn't noticed, but that predates the annexation of AK and HIQuote:
