Should I send barrel back to Faxon, or return to OpticsPlanet and give up on them?

I've had two Faxon Match barrels so far. I have not been impressed from the get-go. These barrels come in a shitty plastic sleeve with zero padding, my latest one was halfway protruding out of the cardboard box OpticsPlanet sent it in.

The first one was a Heavy Fluted Match 18", I was actually decently impressed with how it handled 55gr stuff - shooting cheapo XTAC ammo at a consistent 1.8-2.2 MOA. Unfortunately, on the other side of the coin SMK tipped ammo like IMI/AAC couldn't push past 1.5 MOA. I sold it and instead bought their:

Gunner Match 18", this one is way worse. Shooting a solid 2.0 MOA with SMK tipped ammo, slinging 55gr stuff at about 3.0-4.0 MOA.

I've tried
  • IMI 77gr SMKs
  • PMC XTAC 55gr
  • Fiocchi 62gr BTFMJ
  • Frontier 68 & 75gr OTM
  • AAC 77gr SMKs and 75gr OTM
These are all loads that grouped well in my old Criterion barrel.

I see a lot of raving reviews on Faxon's review pages - 5 star across the board. Everyone saying their barrels shoot excellently. But I'm 2/2 for barrels that simply do not perform.

I am shooting off bags, with a 10x optic and no wind. I am allowing the barrel to cool for 15 minutes between groups, in 30-40f weather.

I have checked witness marks on my scope, my barrel nut, and my muzzle device. Both barrels were thermally fit into a BCM upper.

For the record, here's the best group I ever shot with my old Criterion, using factory IMI ammo. 5 shots in there.

Do I bother dealing with Faxon's swamped CS and hope #3 is better? Or do I just return to opticsplanet (if they even accept the return).



Thanks

Ever so faint ejector mark

I always load conservatively and probably always will. It’s probably why I’ve never owned a 6.5cm that pushes a 140 at 2800 or a 308 that pushes a 175 at the same speed. Moving on.

Do you guys consider a faint ejector mark as a sign of pressure? I mean so slight that you have to get the angle right with the light to just barely see it? I’m not talking a swipe or an indention. Just an ever so slight shadow without any primer crater or anything of that nature.

Did i ruin my brass?

Hello everyone!

New reloader and I cleaned my brass by hand shaking it in a plastic jug filled with about 75% water 25% white vinegar, baking soda and a bit of dish soap and hand shaking it for about 15mins and then after rinsing them really good and getting the water out of the inside of the case (mostly) putting them in the over @350 for about 20mins to dry.

I didn't notice any blue in the water which I know is a sign of the vinegar leeching the zinc out of the brass but when I pulled them out of the over they kind of have a rainbow hue to them.


do you think they are ruined?

If you are thinking of messaging with anything less than full value for either the entire package or individual items don't bother messaging. Spare me offers of like 8k for the complete AXSR kit, or 2k for the Raptar. You might think there is blood in the water, think again. I don't have to liquidate this. The last pic is just that, IYKYK, it is worth more than 75 flips.

This is dusty because it just came back from the range. It will be cleaned up. Everything is in excellent condition.

Best biometric safe

I have a Sentry Safe, as seen in the attachment, and have not been pleased with it. It's rare that it opens on the first time and we all know if the situation arises where you need your HD pistol it's a life or death situation. Do you guys have any you suggest that the biometric part has opened without fail on the first try?

No judgements here gentlemen, but purely an attention and some help to the fellow citizen and industry professional. Local gun store owner, a mountain of the man, the husband and 2A rights defender in commie state of MD got in trouble with police and duty to retreat concept... under very unfortunate, but God knows - pure intentions. We know this man here, anyone within the hobby knows Andy in DC tristate area... there are simply no other pure intentions to help, assist and protect in this man. But still jailed and fighting for his freedom in what's look like lengthily legal fight. If you may, consider it right and rightful, please support Andy's legal fight.

He will appreciate any level of involvement or attention, so just send him a word or two if you feels attached tho the matter. Or some beans to payoff his legal bills.
And stay vigilant - the nerve reaction between central nervous system and the holster may vary in some states, despite velocity and momentum of the SUV trying to ram you in the darkness of the night.

Best Thermal Around $2000

I’m currently running an old atn xsight for night time coyote hunting and am looking to invest in a thermal optic. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on any good options for around 2000 dollars. I was also curios what everyone thought about magnification versus processor. At my price point it seems that I’m limited to a lesser processor/resolution and high magnification or a better processor/resolution with a lower magnification. Thanks.
