Tactical bolt action rifle picture thread

Rimfire!

Tikka T1x MTR in 22LR

KRG Bravo chassis with spigot mount
Badger-modified Harris bipod
Sterk swept bolt knob and metal bolt shroud

Scope pictured is a Steiner P4xi 4-16x56, but it's not what this rifle normally rides with. It's a great scope, but it only focuses down to 50 yards, so it's usually on my larger rifles. Slapped it on here to get some pictures because it was the only thing in a set of rings (Vortex/Seekins PMR at 1.1"). Usually have either an Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29x56 or a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56.

Crap, sorry, I missed this question all those months ago.

The Strike Eagle is nice enough for what it is. It's a made in China analogue to the Viper PST or Razor series using the same reticle. I've had no issues with it at all, and the glass quality seems more than sufficient, especially for a rimfire. I got a great deal on it using a veterans discount through EuroOptic.

It does have a zero stop, but it's not as refined as more expensive designs.

Thank you sir. The Tikkas are an amazing place to start, love the factory action and trigger. Best thing about this build is that each competition/class has given me new info about what works and doesn't for me. So it's come together nicely but definitely some trial and error. But all those changes through that learning has definitely made for a rig that's perfect now.

Just ordered Magpul's new Daka kit for the Pelicans. Psyched to get a case/travel setup together for it.

New Magpul Daka grid system. Neat concept, but turrets keep the case lid from closing. Bottom foam is way too thick.

That’s a drag. Good to know though. Thanks.

Not finished yet, still needs a trigger...

Yeah the customer service response was to 'remove the optic prior to travel'. Hard pass lol.

Thankfully, they are redesigning! More to come on that front.
