Simmons 3-9x40 scope, part # 800878

The build cannibalizes a receiver off an old 10/22 rifle the dealer had in stock. Fortunately, they had one with a matte black finish that looks great with the matte black Tactical Solutions parts. I have the original 10/22 barrel and wood stock in my garage closet. At some point I will attempt to sell them for whatever I can get to recoup some of my expense.

Sorry, the pic kind of sucks but I still haven't figured out how to take quality pics of long guns.

I guess I should admit I didn't actually build it myself. One of the guys at my local shop built it for me. They built one to sell. I went back to purchase it and it had sold already ... a couple of hours before I got there. I asked him to build me another one and we did pretty much the same as he had done before with a minor change here and there. He built two. While I was in picking up mine ( a couple of hours after he completed them ) the other one sold. People are pretty happy with this setup it seems.

I think they had $599 on the sticker. I can't recall exactly ( I didn't pay full sticker ) but it wasn't too far off of that. I added the QD scope rings and scope myself after the fact. That cost me another $75 total.

When you sell me this at a discounted rate, I'll have to spray paint my CAN to match it!

I finally had the opportunity to sight this in a couple of weekends ago. I was on the 50yd pistol range at my local club so that's all I could do for now. I prob won't bother stretching out the zero to 100yd but will shot it some at that distance just to see what kind of adjustments I will need to make to my POA if I decide to shoot it from that distance.

I zero'd it with the suppressor attached and then tested it with several different brands of ammo to make sure all still held a decent enough group. It was all acceptable enough for my purposes ... shooting paper and the occasional pumplin. lol.

I love this little gun. I forgot my Harris telespopic bi-pod when I took it out so had to use the blocks that were already on the bench. I put the bi-pod on when I got home. I will prob add a sling at some point ... just because. I also need to pick up some add'l mags.

I can see that we have similar interests. I put this thing together years ago and I can't even remember all the parts.... Powers, Volq-blah-blah. It's a lot of fun to shoot and you can keep everything in the size of a dime at 50yds all day long. The wind has it's affects at 100yds, but it's still fun to stretch it out. I once read an article that said the IDF uses a similar set up for riot situations. The precision of a shoulder or thigh shot was less harmful than rubber bullets. In any case, it was an inexpensive project that is cheap to shoot and loads of fun. (Cheap = a friend of mine that became a convicted felon gave me the base rifle when he could no longer possess guns.)

 

[VolGrad]

Very nice. Your scope is bigger than mine. lol.

 

[TedG954]

Very nice. Your scope is bigger than mine. lol.

Yeah, but my therapist says I'm making progress on the over-compensation issues.

Simmons fixed 26 power.

 

[TheLaw]

I need to speak to your therapists. (Vol knows lol )

If you could see the size of TheLaw's new truck you would understand. It's bigger than my house.

 

[__jb]

That's one of the longest scopes I've ever seen...

 

[DWinter]

Both are certainly nice set-ups, but holy crap Ted, that scope looks longer than my whole 597VTR. You should be able to determine whether or not the varmint has an STD with that bad boy.

 

[TedG954]

While I certainly appreciate all the nice comments about my hhhuuuugggge scope, I have to admit a lot of it is sunshade. Please.... don't tell the girls.
