I don't know what all the hubbablue is about, the SOCOM ACE stock isn't that bad. It's adjustable, light weight, stream-lined and generally no better or worse than most other stocks out there. Just my thoughts though...

Scouring the internet and leupold website with no luck. I picked up a mark 4 mr/t 2.5x8 with M2 mk12 mod 1 turrets. The manual is great for MOA etc. but it doesn't have much info on the turret markings themselves.
Is it as simple as the turrets make it seem? The large numbers should roughly equal the distance (x100m)? So if i'm zeroed at 1 (100m) it should be as simple as dialing to the larger number? |

Both caps are there.
I wasn't sure if these were one offs or part if the standard issue platform. Seems like there is a bit more wiggle room as the MK12 got longer in the tooth. Thanks, Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By secretwheelman:

Let me apologize in advance for the poor picture qualities. However, I wanted to give a range report after taking this new build (Mk12 Mod 1) out for the first time.
 " />
I was a little overzealous/impatient by taking it straight to the 100 yard range to try and zero in. I had just mounted the scope and should have tried to put it on paper on zero in at the 50 yard range, but I cut to the chase. I paid for it by going through about 40 rounds (not 77 grain). Nonetheless, here is the result - again, it was at 100 yards.  " />
You can see where my rounds started to climb as I tried to get to zero. Basically, I suck. 
Good news? The rifle works and functions flawlessly. I was squinting and bracing for impact as I squeezed off the first round down range. It was my first build I didn't know if the thing would go, BOOM, when I fired the first round. I'm very happy with it. Just have to keep shooting to get better.

I re-mounted my TAS-1 after the paint dried, and it has to go. A painted rifle with a black sling just ain't cuttin' it for me.
So, how much ridicule would befall me if I were to use an FDE, padded mk2 on an early mod0? |

Let me apologize in advance for the poor picture qualities. However, I wanted to give a range report after taking this new build (Mk12 Mod 1) out for the first time. http://<a href=http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b589/rootdog1179/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps688668b5.jpg</a>" /> I was a little overzealous/impatient by taking it straight to the 100 yard range to try and zero in. I had just mounted the scope and should have tried to put it on paper on zero in at the 50 yard range, but I cut to the chase. I paid for it by going through about 40 rounds (not 77 grain). Nonetheless, here is the result - again, it was at 100 yards. http://<a href=http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b589/rootdog1179/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps2b62ac68.jpg</a>" /> You can see where my rounds started to climb as I tried to get to zero. Basically, I suck.
Good news? The rifle works and functions flawlessly. I was squinting and bracing for impact as I squeezed off the first round down range. It was my first build I didn't know if the thing would go, BOOM, when I fired the first round. I'm very happy with it. Just have to keep shooting to get better.

Really, your 100 yard target isnt so bad for first time out. Im curious what trigger you are using. Also, what kind of ammo. You really need to loosen your rings and move your scope back onto the upper receiver. Originally Posted By secretwheelman:

If you are going to use the rifle to hunt or carry around, a sling is paramount. The operator that used a rifle like that would have done the same thing. |

I'll probably still go with a 3pt sling, and throw on a CQD front mount to stay "semi-spec" at the very least. |

Take those ARMS rings and mount the front ring all the way forward on your upper receiver, right at the edge. Set the back one wherever it makes sense, remount your NF and make sure your eye-relief is good. If you wanna bridge the gap like that, buy an S-Ex sleeve or an LT-104 and pass those rings on to another Mk12er. Rifle looks great; now paint it. |
