    Nice! I have the CMC flat trigger, and love it. Good looking rifle.

    Cody-

    Any updates on this rifle or the new Burris scope ?

    I recently had a chance to put a few rounds through a Stag 3G and was impressed. I really liked the factory supplied Geissle trigger (Super 3 Gun ?) - it seemed to have a rolling break which reminded me of a good pistol trigger. What prompted you to go with the CMC over the stock Geissle ?

    I am still waiting on the new Burris. Optics Planet really played me on it.

    The great thing about this gun? The CMC Trigger, the lower recoil, the long handguard.

    The downside is it is heavier than I expected.

    I am shooting the Tidewater 3Gun May 18. I sure hope I can get the Burris in-time to sight it in. Otherwise will be using a 1-4x24 Bushnell.

    STILL backordered...just checked with them and they are telling me Burris has not met any of their delivery dates so far.
    I am considering just opting for the XTR 1-4x24 and saving some money. The other thing is the Bushnell non-illuminated .223 1-4x24 worked perfectly for me at the Tidewater 3gun. When my sight was on target, and I didn't move the gun, I hit what I aimed for.
    SIgh....maybe I will just wait and see what happens.

    I'm very happy with my Burris MTAC 1-4X on my main AR15, fwiw, and last time I checked those are readily available. Keep meaning to swap it over to the Aero Precision ultralight mount and re-zero but haven't done anything lately that involves carrying it further than a few hundred feet at a time.

    Similar setup to what you mentioned above, with 45-degree offset irons:

    Getting a rifle sighted-in where you know you can trust it....makes it much harder to decide to put on a new optic and re-zero. I would love to put a Vortex Razor HD JM-1 on it but can't part with the $1250. I would rather buy a new pistol.

    Have you tried to fold-down offsets? Will they keep their zero?

    Here is a video of the 3Gun I shot at Academi (Blackwater) which is operated by Tidewater 3Gun:
    The far targets were 250-325 yards. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/1...46928782435890

    This 3gun was the most fun I have ever had shooting. Ignore my slow shotgun reloading and slow pistolwork. I was shooting a Mossberg 930 JMpro with fiber optic front sight, Glock 34 (Just been shooting in competition for a short time), and Stage 3G with Bushnell 1-4x24 223 reticle.)
    They really put on a great match at Tidewater. They have flashers on the targets when you hit them and that helps.
