Thread: What are you thoughts for my new rifle project.

i completely disagree re b an c and believe the priorities are wrong

i have upgraded 2 of my rifles with b&c and they are much better than the standard.

I have just finished first steps of my Tikka .270 modification

B&C stock - much better, stiffer and no give around recoil lug, shoots firm of bipod small cost and real nice finish
Sako optilock rings - spend the money dont fuck around with the other stuff, these are built specifically for the job and hold like shit to a blanket.
Alutek Bottom metal and bolt shroud - Eh this one is just because the plastic was removed no real advantage but great parts and finishes it nicely
Suppressor - Get a can but go for a small can, the durillium from Gworks is really good, for the .270 its really just the loud crack (which is significant) you need to dampen so small suppressor will be fine. i did not shorten my barrel, this dampening of the crack helps mask direction of the shot which is important when firing at multiple targets
Scope - go for a good one however as its a .270 a better scope less zoom is better than a high zoom average scope 14 power is ideal as max zoom but make sure you have a 50mm obj

Next steps im currently talking with GWorks

Fluting - barrel and bolt, really just for porno factor as it adds nothing
Shorten barrel - too long with suppressor, feels like a javlin, and for the .270 a slight loss in speed means jack shit
trigger work - standard issue
