    First Strike Scout with upgrades

    Who wants a First Strike Scout? I got this a couple years ago and had a lot of fun adding accessories and target shooting in my backyard. It can consistently hit a human torso from about 100 yards away. It's also very comfortable to shoot thanks to the combination of the scope riser and the custom stock that I made for it. Sadly my local field is too small to really use it well, so I'd rather pass it on to someone who will use it at scenarios or bigger fields.

    Price is $400 OBO. SOLD at $350. This is too big to fit in a flat-rate box, so I'll have to calculate shipping for you.
    • CV Life crossbow scope
    • Hammerhead rifled barrel (plus original barrel)
    • custom adjustable stock (original tank stock included)
    • quick-detach scope riser (attaches to a homemade dovetail rail that I mounted to the left side of the rifle)
    • First Strike 13/3000 tank (born in 2021)
    • Leapers bipod
    • Hogue pistol grip
    • Stark SE-5 angled foregrip
    • two 11-round magazines and molle pouch
    • Redz paintball bag (not pictured)​
    Overall the gun is in great shape. It only has a few hundred rounds through it.

    The dovetail rail was made by me out of aluminum. Honestly I am very proud of how well it came out. I really should have anodized it, but since it's mostly hidden by the scope riser when installed, I just never got around to it. I just spray painted it and called it a day. The holes for the mounting screws do go the whole way through the side of the body, but this does not affect the function of the rifle in any way. I made sure of that before I did the mod.

    I also made the clamps that hold onto the steel rods for the adjustable stock. I probably should have anodized those too, but the paint is holding up pretty well. You loosen the screws a little bit to move the stock and then clamp them down once it's in the right place. Works great. The Pridefend buttpad is press fit over another aluminum plate that's connected to the steel rods with a custom bracket. Below is a picture of that without the rubber pad.

                    They're very accurate. The bigger problem is guessing the distance to target. If I wasn't sure, I would shoot at a tree near them, note which mark it matched, and then shoot again at the target.

                    A scope riser of some sort is highly recommended too, even if it's only an inch taller. The foregrip and other upgrades I did are certainly nice, but that's more of a comfort thing. The bipod is pretty much useless in a game. I only used it for sighting the scope.

                        No, I'm trying to downsize a little. I think a Shocker CVO is the only thing I'm maybe sorta interested in.

                        Are you actually in Fredericksburg? We should meet up sometime. Show you the private field.
