Used in this project
Barrel: Oregon Mountain Rifle Carbon 18”, 1-10-T
A key feature of this custom build is the 18-inch carbon barrel from Oregon Mountain Rifle, offering an ideal balance between weight and performance. The carbon construction ensures durability and reduced weight, while the 1-10 inch twist rate is perfectly suited for stabilizing .308 projectiles, enhancing long-range accuracy.
Trigger: Timney HIT
Precision shooting demands a high-quality trigger, and the Timney HIT is a standout choice. Known for its crisp break and customizable pull weight, this trigger allows for precise shot placement with minimal overtravel, enhancing the shooter's control and accuracy.
Mount: Reptilia AUS
The Reptilia AUS mount in this build is a testament to its attention to detail. It offers a rock-solid foundation for the optic, ensuring zero stability and alignment. The design of the mount also aids in achieving the perfect eye relief, crucial for long-range shooting.
Optic: Accufire Atro-20
The Accufire Atro-20 optic is a perfect match for this build, providing exceptional clarity and precision. This optic offers a wide field of view and excellent light gathering capabilities, essential for identifying and engaging targets at various ranges. Its intuitive reticle design facilitates quick target acquisition and accurate shot placement.
Bipod: Accutac
Stability in a precision rifle is paramount, and the Accutac bipod fulfills this requirement admirably. It's robust, adjustable, and provides a stable platform for shooting in diverse conditions. Whether shooting from a bench or in the field, the bipod's versatility adds to the rifle's overall effectiveness.
This custom .308 build, anchored by the Defiance Machine Deviant action, represents the pinnacle of precision shooting. Each component, from the WOOX Exactus chassis to the Accufire Atro-20 optic, has been meticulously chosen to create a harmonious balance of accuracy, reliability, and aesthetics.
