The idea on the color of the blanket was to have something that could hide in plain sight in the backseat of your truck.

Are you saying I have rainbow themed interior!!!? Have you been stalking me as it is a little known fact?
There’s a fine line between stalking and pre-relationship recon.

That is sweet in a creepy but good kinda way!
I actually cut the zipper off mine last night with a pair of scissors. Way easier and faster to get the rifle in and out now. We should’ve never had a zipper there, but we didn’t have prototype input or a text sleeve.
I also had a mental war with myself over optics do this rifle yesterday. I wanted to use the Kahles K18i-2 because the FOV and glass is just so good. The 1 MOA center dot just wasn’t going to work for precise kills out to 500yds.
Went with the Mark 5 2-10x and it’s going to work great.
Tomorrow starts my giant waste of time trying to convince the Austrians to rethink their reticle.

I can’t wait to get out and use mine but it was about -10 with windchill yesterday. I may have to do the same on the sleeve
It actually use a stitching knife and disassemble as much of it as possible to leave more material at the end so you can roll and sew the edges of the opening. I barely have enough length to cover the butt pad now. I can still stitch it and make it work this evening when me and Warren are finishing the second half of Open Range.
Beautiful rifle!

Thanks! I’m going to shoot the inaugural round off today. I really look forward to using this gun this next fall!
Give us a report.

What bullet and grain weight did you use?

Cheap Hornady American Whitetail 165gr interlock. I was just working on setting up my scope so didn’t use anything fancy.
Not surprised but this is always great to see. I’m getting on the range with mine this weekend. The Dead Air over the barrel silencer came in and it’s the perfect can for this rig. Photos to come.

Who/where do you get your Leupolds through? [ just an added caveat; Nope, I'm not looking for a discount or a group buy deal. Finding some "interesting" unsavory matters with buying Leupolds lately.]

Here she is. One of the coolest rifles I’ve ever rigged up.

Europtic has best customer service! Always willing to do a deal. Make sure to call them. Better than just online buying.
In the famous words of @Pete Correale,
“Sheeeee’ll eat!”
503 yd kill which is starting to stretch it at 10x on the Mark 5. Ran the data on it and you’ll still have 1000ftlbs of energy out to about 695yds with the Berger 168 load from Federal, but that’s definitely pushing this optic too far.
