Tactical Works, Inc. www.tacticalworks.com Partners with CDI Precision Gunworks www.cdiprecisiongunworks.com & Alpha Industries & Manufacturing www.alphaindmfg.com to Sponsor “Ace” in the Sniper Challenge at the Creekside Firing Range in Taylorsville, GA July 17th.   

Arvada, CO June 21, 2010– On July 17th, 2010 Ace, with the help of Tactical Works, Inc., CDI Precision Gunworks, and Alpha Industries & Manufacturing, will hit the Creekside Firing Range with a Savage .308 to be the best of a group of 40 seasoned long-range shooters.   

Ace’s Savage will be a Short Action .308 with a Choate Tactical Stock, CDI Precision Gunworks bottom metal conversion, 10-Shot Alpha Magazines, Competition Trigger, Tactical Bolt Handle.   

The Challenge will include shooting various targets at unknown distances. None of the contestants will know the course until the morning of the shoot.  Targets will range from 100 yard to 600 yards. The shooters will be required to shoot from different firing positions and to move through various stations.    

All shots will be taken from the rifle that the shooter takes their first shot with including gear, rifle, ammunition, spotting scope, and anything else needed.   

“We’re really excited to be involved with this group in the Sniper Challenge. It’s awesome to see a great shooter like Ace compete head to head with a Savage rifle and products offered by Tactical Works, Inc. In the last shoot Ace took first place with a rifle that cost a fraction of most of the competing rifles. It says a lot about Ace and proves a mildly upgraded Savage can hold its own against the more expensive offerings out there. Let em fly Ace” said Andy Work COO of Tactical Works, Inc.

The Gallery was updated to include two more pictures. First is Ace’s three custom rifles. He is gearing up for a shoot this weekend (May 7th & 8th) in Tennessee and we wish him the best of luck. Ace runs TN Predators Forum which is a good resource for information on hunting and calling.

The second update to the Gallery is three “shop” rifles that we have been working on.

First is a Remington 700 .308 PSS wearing a Choate Tactical Stock, Harris Bipod,  EGW Heavy Duty Rail, Burris XTR rings, CDI Bottom Metal Conversion,  and a Falcon Menance.

Second is a Savage 10 .308 with a Choate Tactical Stock, EGW rail, Competition Trigger, Harris Bipod, BT bolt handle, CDI Bottom Metal Conversion,  and a Super Sniper 10X.

Last but not least is a Savage 110 30.06 with a Choate Tactical Stock, Choate Adjustable Butt Place, ER Shaw Barrel, Heavy Recoil Lug, Competition Trigger, EGW Heavy Duty Rail, EGW “Practical” rings, and a Bushnell Elite 3200 10X.

Flat hinged trigger guards  are standard equipment with most AR15s and AR Lower Parts Kits (LPK) and leave a little to be desired.   The annoying gap between the standard trigger guard and the grip can tend to get uncomfortable during long shooting sessions and needs to be “folded” open to accommodate larger cold weather gloves.

We are now stocking Magpul!!!

Sunday we decided to stray from the “TW Proving Grounds” in an effort to do some longer range shooting and test out the first of our Remington 700 CDI Precision rifle builds. It was suggested that we check out the Pikes Peak Gun Club just outside of Colorado Springs, CO.

It  was one of the many beautiful sunny winter days that bless Coloradans so we jumped at the opportunity and headed out.

Upon arrival we had to fight the crowd of 100+ skeet shooters who had just finished a shoot. Lots of folks, lots of trucks. Once inside we got the lay of the land and headed out to shoot.

Pikes Peak Gun Club looks to cater to trap and skeet shooters however their pistol and rifle ranges are organized and nice. The rifle range is 200 yards max but worked well for testing purposes.

If I remember correctly there are 16 rifle lanes, 8 left and 8 right. The left lanes have wood benches and are covered. The right lanes have concrete benches and there is ample room to shoot prone from a concrete pad.

After setting up a target at 50 yards and another at  100 yards the range went “Hot” and it was time to shoot.

As we were setting up we were approached by a recently retired Aurora Police officer questioning what we were shooting. As I started to explain our arsenal he stopped me and said “No, what is that?”  pointing at our Remington 700 PSS dawning a Choate Tactical Stock, Falcon Menace 8X18, Burris XTR Rings, EGW Steel Tactical Base, finished nicely with CDI Precison’s 10 round AICS drop box mag.

He quickly pushed aside the four AR15s we brought, as he mumbled “I’ve seen plenty of those” to get to the Remy.  After fondling the rifle for a few minutes he backed away and simply said “Now that’s gorgeous”.

With all of the gear and 10 rounds in the mag. the Remy still feels light weight and maneuverable.

We put 3 rounds in the 10 round AICS mag and cycled them at a normal rate. No malfunctions. We  loaded 5 rounds and cycled at a normal rate, no issues. On to 10 rounds.  Again, 10 rounds no issues.

Next test rapid fire, 10 rounds down the tube, fast! One after another the rounds chambered and ejected with a nice “spring in their step”. The empty casings ended up in a nice little pile about 10″ from the weapon.

The rest of the day on the CDI Remy was like clock work.  As the day went on a few other shooters stopped by to chat about the Remy and ask how accurate it was. Unfortunately, this was the first outing for this rifle and we weren’t delivering very tight groups so we looked a lot better than we preformed.

We didn’t get the chance to run any real-time mock situations at the club however we plan on heading back to the TW Proving Grounds to run it through some real world exercises when time permits.

All in all the rifle preformed as designed and the CDI Bottom Metal looked and felt like factory.

As we drove away from the club and into the sun dropping behind Pikes Peak we had to agree. Great product, great place, great day!
