Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

@ebee @Solo

I would highly recommend getting a midwest hand guard for it - they are lighter, allow you to use Mlok attachments like QD points and allow you to use a standard bipod (if you try to use one on the standard hand guard it wobbles). I think it is also much nicer in the hand than the standard hand guard. 55six sells them though I think they are out of stock at the moment.

I also got rid of my iron sights as I run a VX6 1 -6 and at 1 power it is a both eyes open shooter. Ditching the irons allowed me to put the scope on with Steiner lightweight low rings and subsequently I think I will get away without using a cheek riser - you may find the same with your 1-8 Viper @Solo

I just need to get a QD drilled into the stock so I can use my magpul sling side on and I think I will get one of those Wild West Trigger Happy kits from Brownells now that the ITAR limit has been raised - they lower the trigger pull to a crisp 2.5lbs apparently.

My 3030 Dark below:

I guess i like the look of dark marlin both ways-and both with smallish scopes too. I have a stainless JM 30-30 with a 1-4 leupold and I like the look of that and my dark marlin 30-30 has basically the same scope(pig plex). I probably will get the midwest hand guard eventually. I have a couple of nice 1894s (.357 and .44mag) and couldn't imagine a scope on those. Your set up of the dark marlin with suppressor on is in my opinion about as sexy as it gets! does the midwest hand guard change the weight much?

@ebee

The Oceania suppressor does a really good job of suppressing it, it is a pleasure to shoot. It is a little lighter than the stock grip but I didn't weigh the difference. The rifle weighs 3.7kgs all up from memory with the suppressor and scope on it so not super light but certainly not a really heavy rifle.

Goats and three gun mainly. And everything else you might use a 12 gauge for.

I bought it because I wanted it lol and would probably never spend 4k on the real thing.

I brought a Benelli M3 (which switches between semi auto and pump) to replace my Typhoon for three gun. I have never thought about using it on goats but that makes more sense than a bolt action. Do you go after them with solids or double ought and what do you consider the ethical / effective range?
