Lower is Saber Defense. I installed a geissele two stage match trigger, Vltor Emod Stock, Mag pull pistol grip and trigger guard. Upper is a Noveske N4 light carbine with Troy sights and a Swarovski Z6i 1x6-24 Rifle Scope with Circle Dot Reticle in a Larue mount. It has a Surefire muzzle break pinned on to the 14.5 inch barrel. That brake works awsome. Anyway I just finished it today and sighted it in. The brake makes the gun come straight back and there is almost no muzzle flip for fast double taps at 100 yards.

I give it a thumbs up! What brand vertical grip is that?

[Alaskapopo]

Larue VFG. I love it.

Maybe I am just a brand whore, but I think Noveske stuff is the best thing since sliced bread.

[docsherm]

Very nice.

It definetely helps when the brand puts out some of the best products..

[matt7184]

Very nice. I'm looking to do a similar build in the near future.

How do you like that scope?

[Warrior]

Does the reticle wash out in that scope in bright daylight. Basically I like to know if it is aimpoint bright.

Nice blaster man

[Alaskapopo]

The scope is bright but not as bright as an aimpoint. It is daylight visible. I wish the rectical were red instead of amber but otherwise I love the scope. I am using this rifle in a three gun match this weekend I will let you know how it works out.

Thanks for the info. It looks like an interesting scope with the 6X power and all. Good luck at your 3 gun and post a report on the optic and rifle.

[uspopo]

Sweet setup and thanks for sharing.

Killer....


My dad went to Swarovski scopes on his hunting rifles and said the difference between them and the Leupold Vari X 3x9 50 MM series was night and day.

Buy your Noveske's now before they start bringing the price that a rolls royce of firearms (from most accounts) could get. :D

AlsakaPoPo are you way up north for real?

I stayed in North Pole, AK with a buddy a couple of years ago....I found out you need at least a month to see AK.



Good luck in the match.

Thats hot.

I was born in Fairbanks just a little north of where your buddy lived in North Pole. I now live south of Anchorage.

The gun and optic did great at the match. I had a stage where i was glad I had the 6 power option. There was only a very narrow portion of the targets exposed on one stage. I was able to see my hits and move on while others could not and had a lot of misses. The scope was almost as fast as a dot up close. I did have a comic relief moment in one stage where she shot through a 10 inch pipe towards a target. I put the gun too far into the pipe and the gas escaping from the muzzle break came back and knocked my hat off and I ended up shooting blind on half the shots. I still managed to hit the target with all 5 shots but I did end up getting two D hits on that one. Oh well.

Oh, I can't wait to try this with our idiots! :D

I gotta steal me some pipe from the jobsite for sure!

It was plastic pipe pretty thick about 1 inch thick. The diameter of the pipe was approximately 10 inches and it was about 3 feet long. They had one set up approximately 3 feet off the ground (to force a kneeling or squating position and the other one that got me was on the ground forcing a prone position. I reloaded to a 20 round magazine while going prone and that was a good thing because I did not have to cant the rifle to shoot the target. However being in a hurry I did not set myself back from the tube and that cost me. I am still waiting on the results of the match. They are supposed to be posted today or tomorrow. I was not the best there but I feel I did pretty well overall. We will see. I really did like the Noveseke. The load I was using was a Sierra 77 grain match bullet over some H335 powder. It knocked the poppers with authority. (well at least for a .223)

. The scope was almost as fast as a dot up close.

Yea with some practice with them you can be just as fast as with a dot. it doesn't really take much acclimating either. I am a huge fan of low power variables. I may have to check out that swarovski, the 6X power is what really has me interested and if you say the illumination is daytime visible it might be worth a shot for me. I got 2 short dots right now that i absolutely adore, and a nightforce 1-4X which is cool and a great optic especially at its price but its not a short dot.

[Alaskapopo]

I finally got the results from the rifle and shotgun portion of the three gun match from last week. I got first in the rifle and third in shotgun and 7th in pistol. Overall for all three division I took 2nd. That is the best I have every done at a three gun match. Sorry to brag I just got the news I am a little stocked.

Well done. Guess the rifle and optic combo worked out!;)
