Sodomy if you don’t show up with a big tough man cartridge.. sounds like an awesome group of guys to share an elk camp with.

They have been getting some karma for hubris and criticism of others lately. I really like a lot S2H and UM is doing with products and podcasts but their hubris with ACE and the rokstoks has kind of proven they aren’t remotely above having the same issues.

Maybe seekins cut a shitty chamber then. Regardless, the brass wouldn’t have failed to chamber if it weren’t a belted cartridge.

Same contour, Correct

Carbon barrels have one benefit - larger muzzle diameter for larger muzzle threads at a given barrel weight. Carbon fiber is generally stiffer than steel for a given weight so the idea is a carbon barrel is stiffer than a steel barrel of the same weight. The only person I know of that tested...

Thank you for taking the time to respond and share the limitations of using inverted legs. In regards to being packable - my tripods basically never go in a bag but rather get strapped to the outside of them where space is not that constrained. That even includes my little 2# tripod and pan...

Put the twist locks on top, then I’ll spend $1300 on one. Edit: watched Frank's vid. I wouldn't be interested in this at all for a range tripod with center column but rather a hunting field tripod for glassing/shooting seated or kneeling without a center column to be solid AF but still weight...

May be somewhat length dependent but they aren't going to be notably lighter than a 750" taperless contour steel barrel.

That's right. How different was that from the super 700 trigger?

If it’s not a shitty barrel, it doesn’t. Nobody is shooting a comp with 5# backpacking rifles but I’d not expect a decent barrel on a 7# rifle to walk. A thin barrel will heat up faster, probably get more mirage, and make people worry more about frying their barrel, but I wouldn’t expect much...

6 SAUM improved as spec’d by unknown munitions.

I have a barrel about to get chambered to wylde for 75-80s, I’m curious why a standard 223 with longer throat would be better? I plant to treat it poorly (rarely clean), 18” finish length and always shot suppressed, would the additional clearance of the wylde have any possible benefits in that...

I’ll get ya a weight on a 300wm super lite factory barrel tomorrow. Edit: @Trent A 24 3/16” super lite 300 WM barrel = 34.6 ounces.

Carbon barrels are for suckers IMO and most all are HEAVIER than a factory tikka lite contour. Factory 6.5 creed lite barrel chopped at 18” and muzzle threaded 9/16”: 32 oz If you wanted to build a lightweight tikka on a budget I’d just chop a lite barrel, throw it in a stockys carbon or...

No, this is from the PVA 6mm group buy that just happened. Shipped quick!

There are threads on this chambering on rokslide and HuntTalk too.

This thread makes me wonder how many animals people have seen shot with expanding lead bullets.. any I’ve ever seen from 243 to 300 WM leave wounds that are more than adequate to wreck an elk.

I’d not worry about it with a 223.

Yeah, I’d expect them to warranty replace that.

In regards to 280 AI, if one has a standard bolt face long action already it’s a nice choice. Otherwise I’d prefer SAUM. Seems like lots of reamers are the standard SAAMI with a traditional throat with zero parallel freebore which probably works fine but if getting a custom barrel I’d rather...
