Trivia Question #42: Name this rifle!

 

[Az-Vic]

Looks to be a Tubb 2000? although it appears to be suppressed?
Tough to wrap my mind around this one; a bolt gun in sheeps(AR) clothing. It must get around some obscure parameter for match shooting, where an AR configured rifle must be used? if I use a bolt action, by gawd, I want it to look,feel and handle like a bolt action. Ive owned literally dozens of ARs,and I still don't like the ergonomics or lack of them, compared to the feel and fit of a properly fitted bolt action rifle.

Very Close! The Mcmillan is a close copy of the Tubb 2000 from what I have read!

WR Naled it! Nice job WR!

From my Gun calendar:

The McMillan CS5 is designed for stealth and concealment in urban settings. With the buttstock and supressor detached, the CS5 is only 23 inches in overall length, and the entire weapons system breaks down to fit into a common backpack for easy and instant transport

Also, is it just me, or is the bipod on backwards? Perhaps by design to keep it short with the suppressor off? :smile:

I've seen Harris BP's installed both ways. On 99% of long guns I prefer to be able to place slight fwd pressure when firing.
On 1% the only justification for reverse installation is on very heavy recoil guns that would rock and collapse/stow the BP.

Make sense!

When in Maine we used to hunt woodchucks with our 458Lott, Ruger #1H every now and then just for fun. We shot a "re-HP'ed" 300gr Hornady(now 285grs)at 3000fps with a healthy load of the old DATA 223. We never had the 9-13" older Harris collapse. It would definately rock back but the heavy springs would quickly snap the gun back forward. (BTW a 458Lott prone ='s OUCH !!)

If it is used backwards you could damage it with the heavier recoiling guns. It would have no "give". --- SAWMAN

Also a good point.

Today I learned that there really isn't a backwards for a Harris Bipod :smile:

A pair of distinguished and knowledgeable members of the GCGC told me...


I have always run mine with the legs pointing forward so that it supports my pressing forward on it.
