Yes Brian,
5-25 X 56 P4F reticle w/ illumination.
One thing struck me about the rifle. The seller said they were imported in 2006. Yet, isn't the barrel dated 07?
Someone help me on this, my 99 dated rifle had a non-flutted barrel originally. It was changed to a flutted one in 2010. When was the transition? Just curious.
Thank you,
Michael
The next question that I cannot find a legitimate answer for is 'what is the earthly reason for a fluted barrel? Except the negligeable one of weight of course, is there another?
Flutes were installed for additional cooling, I have read, on other rifles. Could this be the reason?
More exposed metal surface for cooling. Understandable on a gas gun like an AR match rifle that's susceptible to rapid fire strings but not on a sniper rifle IMHO.
Like BRian says.......... Cooling ain't a big problem for sniper rifles. A greater cooling area can be a negative sometimes, requiring a thermal sleeve
Re the S+B telescope BRian. Well....., you came home with a new SUSAT!
I wasn't just referring to the scope. I liked the whole rifle AND scope!! Kidding aside, that was a very privileged day Sir. Meeting the Armourers was a delightful bonus.
The SUSAT is on a light weight AR carbine I have here with an M4 upper and a custom base made for me by Gordon Lamont in Scotland. Works like a charm. The only one around these parts!!
Just looks bloody good!!Quote:
