Questions? - 02/07/14
I have owned and shot guns for many years. My catalog of choice use to be Shotgun news when they were the premier place to buy guns and accessories. I can remember when you could look through shotgun news and if you knew all the code words in the ads you could order from the different venders all the hardware to build a select fire AR platform. But at that time they were not all the rage like now. I was not into black guns and all my rifles were working guns. My fascination was with the 1911. I would buy all the makings and spend days building a 1911 just the way I wanted it. I shot so much that I sent away and bought a Jet Precision progressive reloader. Which in those days was a huge deal. I ended up using it so much it went back to El Paso TX. twice to get rebuilt. Then I got married the first time and lost interest in shooting as much and when I got married the second time I did not have enough money to play anymore. So my point, if you are still reading this, is I have gone to the dark side and bought my first black rifle. Not because Obama says I can't, but because I am to the point in my life I can start playing again. A bunch of us have been hitting the Yote derbys and I figured my bolt just doen't do the job anymore for this game. The gun I have now is pretty much setup the way I want it except I am changing the grip to a Stark SE-2 because I like a more vertical grip.
Now my question after all my rambling. I put my scope on and even though it sits up high I have a hard time getting to the charge handle. What would be a good ambidextrous charge handle with wings wide enough to grab with a scope. I have looked at the Rainier and the BCM gunfighter. Any others? Second I think I want a 3 point sling, thoughts or suggestions. Have looked at the mag-pul MS3 and 4. This gun has a 24"bull barrel and weighs in at 9.5lbs. So hit me with your best shot.
Thank you, Blu
