Ripp

That Covenant scope is good for what I'm doing with it.
Very nice Horus type reticle, moa/moa configuration, bright and crisp view, side focus, and really low price.

If I absolutely needed to grab-and-forget, for ultimate reliability, I'd grab my Steiner.



Cheers
Tinker

If it were me: I'd set a really low cash bar, say $80. Then I'd Mad Max it. Grab a lost military sporterized stock, fabricobble a pistol grip onto it, make the buttplate from an antler...or a chevy bumper...or a flip-flop 'jandal'...or a tire...then I'd dip the action in hydrochloric to clean the pits, then I'd kill the acid and fill the pits with jb weld, sand it smooth, paint the whole thing with bake on enamel, toss it in a hot car for a couple days, then glass bed it, weld on a skull or a nut or a shifter or something like that for a bolt handle, etc etc. Spraypaint the stock with leaf stencils. Maybe attach some pygmy scalps for ambience. The teeth of slaughtered buffalo. Kill notches. A sling made from knotted rags. Wire inlays ripped from a motor. Sling mounts from fencing wire.

I'd rebarrel it to something more common too. The toughest part would be choosing between 'dusty jihadi' or 'bubba's blind cousin'.

Back to this.

Archangel stocks with removable 10 and 15 round magazines. They now do list .30-06 as suitable in the magazine.

I should see about ordering one to try out. They aren't expensive. Either olive or black ...

Still have to work out scoping options.

Any issues now with posting a synthetic stock out of the USA?

Of course I need five extra magazines - six in total - for a true tactical rifle project.
