Just ordered a Nightforce 5.5-22 X 56 scope. Now to just find the direct fit mount, and I'm almost done. Also have a competition Mpod on its way for a front F class rest.

Nice!
Which reticle?

:pics: When you are done please!

How much is that scope?

MOAR reticle! Price...... too much! Remember, I live in Canada. Land of the free and grossly over taxed.

And yes, pics will follow. It will be a while until I'm done the initial build. The tune will follow that. I'm really not sure if I will shoot it before winter. I might finish the initial build, but I probably won't get to shoot it until spring.

Hope it wasn't too much more.
Those scopes are pricy as it is.
But worth it!
I have a Nightforce 2.5-10x42 NXS Compact with the illuminated MIL-R reticle.
Absolutely love it! :drool:

:tup:

:eek:
That sucks!

Newest toy: HK VP9 w/threaded barrel, night sights and Taylor Freelance +5 mag extensions. Shoot like a DREAMMM!!!

The VP9 is an excellent pistol. I like mine a little better than my Walther PPQ. Both are vastly superior to any other polymer striker-fired handgun I've ever shot, although in fairness I'd add that I have no experience with the Sig P320.

Nice. I have a couple of those Taylor +5's on order. Did your VP 9 come that way, or have you been "working on it?" I haven't seen one equipped that way out of the box.

Here's a teaser pic of the new build. Still waiting for the scope to arrive. The rest is a Mystic Precision Mpod. The scope will be a NightForce NSX 5.5-22 X 56 with the MOAR recticle. I'm still deciding on the rail. It will either be the direct fit from NF or something different. Since my range only goes out to 300 yards, I may be looking at something different for the mount. The direct fit is a 20 MOA rise, so for 300 yards that may be too much for the scope. I might bottom the adjustment out and still not have enough for sub 500 yard solutions.

Oh well.... it's only money:icon17:

Battle Arms Development (they make the BAD ambi safety selector) has started making AR15 lowers with their known attention to detail. Looking forward to building a rifle with it. Lots of advanced engineering in the fabrication process. The logo is 3-D laser cut, the finish is beautiful.

I've been working on it. It came with the night sights and extra mag (LEM Edition)... I got the threaded barrel from hkparts and the mag extensions straight from Taylor Freelance.

I cut the foam inside the case to fit the VP with everything I've done to it.

Nice. Have you had problems with the Taylor Freelance? There were earlier issues with the +5 thing (actually pretty much only +4) as well as some reliability issues with bending of the floor plate. Reportedly, they've addressed both of those issues. Any insight?

At $39, you're right at the cost of a whole new magazine. $39 for +5, $39.95 for +15. Hmmmm.

Have you shot your VP9 yet? I think it's a remarkable firearm, and at $600 for an HK, I couldn't pass it up.

I had to trim the corners of the follower a bit to get it to slide past the edges of the mag extension. In some cases it gets hung up a little bit if you don't. No issues getting in all +5 rounds. Other than the absolute PITA installation in which I managed to cut my thumb, they are awesome and work great.

The main purpose of the +5 is to benefit competitive shooters. More rounds = less reloading.

I've shot it a few times. It's awesome. I paid $750 for mine, but it's the "LEM edition" which came with night sites and an extra mag.
