Woow... Great going ibalajis..!!!
Enjoy shooting.

One question, you got a scope stop on your Scorpius Karbin?
When I checked none of the Karbins in stock on the store had a scope stop and had to get the normal barrel one.

Thanks,
Arvind S.

Hi Arvind, it was a normal barrel one, I just removed the sights and fixed a muzzle weight and a scope to give it a makeover :)

Ok cool,even I was planning to do the same.
But was worried the extra weight would throw off the balance on the gun, its about 175 grams, I heard.
How do you feel about the addition, does it make off balanced by a lot, specially while shooting handheld without support?

I am yet to start shooting it in full fledge. I shot only about 10 pellets today from rested position. Will let you know in a few days. Cheers :)

Looks cool man!

Arvind, you can always make a scope stop by yourself. Fashion a screw & make a matching hole on the rail, or one of those off-the-shelf mounted stoppers.

Thanks for the suggestion estousandy, but I dont feel comfortable drilling a hole on the Precihole or IHP.
Since Precihole comes with the stops, I was looking for it.
Could not find a piece in the karbin model with scope stop, hence already bought a normal barrel with stop.

Neat piece of work ibalajis. Did you importd the scope? Do share your experience on long range shooting with the Scopious. Also your experiences with the pellets with best accuracy.
Regards,
SS

@shirodkar4 I didn't import it, bought it from a fellow IFGian. I think I will take a few more days to post my experience with my new Scorpius.

Thank you all... BTW, I have a question for the Chennai shooters. Where do you guys shoot your ARs? I have enrolled in a range for 10m target practice, but am also keen to know if there are any places for fun shooting.
