Did you get it used?

[TNKen]

Used, 24 rounds down the pipe, gun is less than a year old. Beretta/Sako is running 9 months to a year backlog on them.

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.

Nice, that looks like some good old fashioned fun right there.

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

That really is a very good deal.

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.

It looks like to me that the scope is mounted with a quick release mount so it would be no problem to remove if it went down.

What kind of range finder did you get? You are going to need one that goes a long way with that rifle!!

Good point, shoulda thought of that.

Leupold Range II. Good to 1000 yards. Yeah, not far enough, but I've only got access to a 1000 yard range anyway.

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

Also something you might want to consider is this bipod. Supposed to be an improvement over a harris. Going to get one for my rifle as soon as it comes in.

Point!!

Nice bipod. Mine came with the factory Sako which is a big improvement over a Harris. THat one looks nice as well. Doesn't look like it's available for the TRG series yet.

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.

Most of the newer upper-end lazer rangefinders are pretty accurate. I'm still learning the nuances of milling. Math is fun.

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

It's a Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x MR/T in LaRue QD rings.

If you happen to have an extra $47,000 lying around, this puppy can be yours.

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.

I don't think it will fit in my gunsafe...

[Tuckerman]

I think that flag is backwards?

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

[Jumper Bones]

It's a WWII flag.
