So I can't really buy another gun right now so I switched some things around that I already had. Switched the sights between the 760 and the 1377, swithched the brakes between the M417, added a bi pod, and made a sunshade out of PVC piping. I think it turned out really cool! When I first shot the gun with the TKO brake on I thought it was broken, boy do these brakes work! The gun is now ultra quite. On to the pics!

Thanks Zip! Yeah the 1.5" ID PVC pipe fit perfectly over the 32mm Leapers scope. I put some felt on the insides to make it snug. It's on there like a rock now. I might drill some ports at the end of it, not sure yet. Just ordered some 40mm flip up lens covers for it. |

Not at all. You can't even tell that it's there. |

Very nice indeed!
It looks like you have some sort of bushing between the bipod and barrel - how was that done? I like those bipods. There is enough flex to them so that they work O.K. with springers. I cut mine a little short (up to those little latches that hold the legs together).
The glare shield is also cool. Much of my summer time shooting is done morning or evening with the sun at a low angle, and they make a difference. You're correct that they don't noticeably limit the field of view. Mine (on springers) tend to be shorter to allow clearance for barrel swing, but your long one looks cooler. A note on PVC pipe: if you have the opposite situation (the pipe is a little too small) heat it in boiling water and the plastic will stretch a bit.
I like what you've done. |

Thanks Slavia! I mount the bipod on the barrel using 7/16" ID x 5/8" OD orings on the barrel to make it thicker. Works like a charm. The sunshade works great too. The picture is clearer when I use it and thanks for the PVC tip!
Here is what it looks like.
