[QUOTE="FatBoy..., post: 43599, member: 349"] Ian, What will the sibling say,, with it's twin sporting new cloths??? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I got to see TAC in action Saturday. A couple friends are testing TAC, one happens to have an A5 as well, and it was pretty impressive, velocity wise. David's intent was to get his 20" LTR 308 shooting the 175 (or the 170 Lockbase he's using) the same 2685fps that the 26" barreled rifles are getting. He managed it with flying colors, and has a good SD too boot. Oh,, and he threw the powder with a Hornady unit. With the excpetion of one shot of 10,, it is extremely consitant. Back to the stock. As I understand it, it's initial intent was to create a tactical stock that would both ride a bag well if needed and provide a comfortable grip while positional shooting, ala the marksman forearm and the slight taper to allow for elevation changes. Coupled with the request to slim down the pistol grip. I haven't spent a lot of time on the A5,, just a few moments, but it feel much like my A3.

Looking forward to hearing how the TAC works for you. If the H4350 doesn't work in Gumby Sunday, I'll be trying a lbs of Magnum next month. BTW,, have you shot any of the newer or 2002 lots of Varget? FatBoy... [/QUOTE]
