Let’s see some groups!
That is a sweet set-up. How much it set you back?
wes1,
Don't have any group pics, sorry.
Josey,
The AI was just over $5,000 with all the accessories (with LEO discount) and the USO was close to $3,000.

A question for anyone that happens to know: Are the folding stocks worth the extra dough?
I am considering their .338
For a 338 or for running a suppressor, yes. Otherwise I can take or leave them.

Are there any good optics that would be suitable for artic use? E.g. longer eye relief to reduce the chances of the optic fogging up?
I’m not sure. I live on the southern end of the front range, it gets cold here in the winter, but nothing that you would consider “artic”

I continue to be surprised at the mostly mid climate here. I’m originally from western NY state. The winters are harsh, the summers can be quite hot and humid. Guns rust. I did time in Norway while in the Corps too. It’s a real eye opener when you live out in the real cold.
USMCO3,
Can you tell me why you ditched the U.S. Optics and went with the S&B? I’m trying to make up my mind which one to go with for my Mk11 Clone, and I have about decided on your exact scope, but a few have strongly urged me to look into the USO scopes further. Some feedback would be greatly apprecaited.
Roger that. I’m origionally from Syracuse NY.
I wrote this on another forum.
I had a US Optics SN3 3-17x44 on this gun with Horus H25 reticle, but found that the reticle was a little too thick for smaller targets (ie. weekly qual targets, etc).
For LEO sniper applications, we love shooting tiny, little dots, during classes, quals, etc. I found the Horus H25 to be more of a liability than an assett for this kind of shooting.
I have no complaints about the USO, it was definately good glass. For whatever reason I like the S&B more, haven’t been able to put my finger on it yet, but for some reason I prefer the S&B over the USO.
Hope this helps.
Semper Fi,
Jeff
Wow, small world. I was 1/2 way between Rochester & Syracuse out in cow country.

Jeff,
Needs more suppressor!
Derek,
With a can on the AIAW the gun could be in two different zip codes at the same time. Zak had a Jet can on his AIAWP (24" barrel … the AIAW has a 26" barrel) and it make for a very long overall package.
If I were to suppress a bolt gun, I think I would suppress my Remington LTR (20" barrel) as it would keep the overall length more manageable.
S/F,
Jeff

Jeff,
Have you used the TIS sling and armband cuff setup yet? Do you like it?
I’ve only used the arm band a couple times. Most of the time I wrap my support arm through the sling like we use to on the USMC known distance course.
I don’t have enough time using the armband to form a solid opinion.
S/F,
Jeff
Jeff,
Lookin real nice partner…real nice…
