Bullpup rifles? .308/7.62x51mm NATO

H2O MAN · Sep 10, 2011

My set of tall rings arrived yesterday and my Rouge now wears a Leupold mounted at the correct height.

Stomper · Sep 10, 2011

WOW!! That's gotta be riding AT LEAST 4" above the barrel!!

H2O MAN · Sep 10, 2011

And there is no problem with the height of the scope!!

Stomper · Sep 10, 2011

Yeah? Just trying hitting exactly where you're aiming at when the target is two feet away!!

NO, the center dot of the SPR is just 2.75 inches above the barrel and you would have to try to miss from two feet away.

Maybe an offset mounted Insight MRDS or Aimpoint Micro is what you would want/need to add.

LOL... I'm just toolin' ya, I like your kit! You want to talk scopes high above the bore... I used to use an AV/PVS-4 mounted on top of an M-16A1 carry handle, while snoopin' and poopin' South of the border(s) back in the 80's. You would basically set your chin on top of the buttstock to look through it... now THAT'S high!

I lived in Miami during the 80's and handled the M-16A1 configured similar
to what you used south of the border... it looked something like this.

That's the animal, ('cept we had 30-rnd mags)! It was rather... top-heavy, but to a (at the time) 19-yr. old in '86 it was PURE STAR WARS SCHIZO!! We even put it on our M-60's when we were sitting static in defensive positions at night while operating portable Tac-An sites so the C-130's, C-141's, C-5's (and I'm sure "Air America" flights) could have their own secure nav-points.

Don't get me started on those "friendly" Bushmaster snakes! :s0131:

I had a few minutes to spare today and zeroed in my scope.

I'm not comfortable firing from a bench and that's probably why one round is pulled way off to the right.

The old image is missing, but here is a three shot group @ 100 yards using an Aimpoint M4s mounted on my CQB-16 in a Gen II Rogue conversion kit.

H2O MAN · Sep 17, 2011

I ordered myself a GEN 2 Burkett JP/DOC OffSet Mount and I'll mount an
Insight mRDS as close as possible to the center bore of the barrel next week.

There's always room for improvement :beer:

heres an idea..maybe unpopular..but...an idea nonetheless? make a beast of a rifle that situates the magazine either to the left or the right on a horizontal plane, and has the ejector opening directly opposite of it (basically top ejecting in orthodox placement) and you'd have basically a bullpup whose action is further from the face but still not as far forward of the trigger...essentially its a modular chassis with flippable magazine housing around the action. this would allow for a folding stock, and still allow for a 4-rail system around the barrel. kind of a 308 version of the Sterling?

EDIT for more content; that Rogue/Rouge stock kit looks very nice!
