Looks good have you taken it to the range yet? What kind of scope is that? Did you build the other ones in the pic as well?

Boltaction,

Thank you very much. Barring nasty weather, the range will happen this weekend. The scope is a Nikko Sterling Gameking 6-24x with red/green illuminated reticule. I swapped the furniture on the Mossberg, Winchester and Dragunov style SKS. Everything else was purchased as is.

And for all wondering why I posted here in and not in the picture thread, there is a simple answer... I'm a knucklehead.

That rifle is screaming for a magpul PRS stock not a collapsible stock.

Otherwise, sweet.

for this kind of setup.. it would seem you want to have a bipod, 20 round mags instead of 30round mags.. and a better stock? i think plain non-folder A2 stock is a good stock for a precision shooting rifle.

Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions guys. An A2 stock is next on the shopping list. The collapsible stock came with the lower, and was more a less free. A Bipod and better scope rings are coming after the stock, I just have to work those into the budget.
