Having recently sold my MFR I was wanting something different for my garden plinker and already having a collection of AS pistols and markers decided on a rifle. This is the Silverback TAC 41 P Sniper rifle based on the Remington M700 STS Tactical Sniper. Spring powered I have it currently set at 2.5J / 518fps @ 0.20g which is the legal maximum under VCRA. This is using a 90 nm spring and upgraded piston. I’m using heavier bbs though to give more stability, consistency and accuracy at 25 yards. 0.43g giving 336 fps at 2.2 J. 48 shot magazine, 510mm barrel. Adding the fully working DTSS .30 silencer makes it into a long gun. On top I have my SWFA 10x42 mil dot Sniper. Bit of overkill. Looking for a nice MLOC bipod.   |

That's a lovely bit o' kit you've got there David. I'd be inclined to rack that spring up to maximum, load a 6mm steel BB in it and see what damage you could do with it, lol  With a scope like that on it you could probably take 'pot shots' at people (from your house) as they come over the border !......  |

Now that would be 2 Laws broken 😀 We tried a 150nm. 600 fps @ 2.8 J which makes an AS into a firearm. Pity it can’t be classed as an AW. |

Changed it for you so that it don't look so bad to the reading anti gun public. PS, nice set up David. |

That's a really good looking piece of kit David. Looking forward to seeing some target groupings 👍🏻

Remington 700 is the same species of guns as the Ruger 10/22 and 1911: highly customisable. Given it's an AS, and therefore probably close to the real thing than non-AS replica, I wonder whether accessories for the real thing will fit onto this (eg the stock and rails).

You'd think they would be one hole clover leafing at 20 yds with that barrel and scope mate. Pretty poor shooting Captain. Or was this just a practice card?  |

I hang a plumb line in front of the target to align with the red line and put a bubble on the rifles action to set the vertical alignment of the crosshairs then set the turrets for poi/poa. |

Beautiful looking rifle. I wish they would do a co2 version in 4.5mm or pellet.
