Zeus bolt lift compared to Tikka

I’m about to pull the trigger on a Zeus qc but keep looking at the Impact 737 and keep second guessing myself. I’m leaning toward the Zeus because of the 60deg bolt because my current target rifle is a Tikka and I like the bolt operation of it granted I haven’t ever owned anything other than Tikka’s. Is the bolt lift on the Zeus more or less than a factory Tikka? I think I’ll be happy if it’s at least the same but not heavier. Anyone that’s had a chance to use both the Zeus and Tikka I’d love to hear your opinions on the two.

Big crack in Lapua brass, a trend?

Virgin Lapua .284 Win brass fired in a .284 Shehane chamber. After my nine hour cleaning and polishing routine, I found this.

Several hundred cases from this same lot have been fired with no drama. I’m not suggesting anything, just thought it was interesting.

Destroyed Jewel triggers

Last week I chambered a bullet seated into the lands and then tried to extract it, dumping a case full of powder into my single shot Surgeon action. I couldn't even close the bolt before cleaning it out.

I thought I cleaned everything up thoroughly, even taking the bolt apart and wiping it down. When I put everything back together, I fired one shot and the trigger wouldn't cock. When I took the action out of the stock, a small part fell out of the trigger.

I recleaned everything as best I could, put in another Jewel, and fired one shot- same thing happened, even to the point of the same little part falling out of the new trigger.

Any idea what I've missed?

Did Galco steal my design?


The original design was made when I modified. one of their Phoenix revolver holsters to use the Safariland QLS system. The alteration was accomplished by unstitching the holster, adding the mounts, reinforcing the mounting area and then re-stitching.

It turned out really well and I sent them a picture of it along with the modifications I made. The mod allows someone to use ANY of the QLS systems for belt ride, mid ride or thigh rigs. This was about 14 or 15months ago. Anyway, I got an email advertisement from them for their "new" Big Iron holster. It is in my opinion ,essentially, exactly what I sent with except they used a slightly different holster (a modified DAO strongside as opposed to the phoenix). Its not a big deal but I am little salty they did not have the courtesy to mention using my idea.

In two of my pics, you can see the thigh rig, in the other you can see the mid-ride. I also have a belt ride for it. These also work with KT-Mechs universal system.

New Zealand farmer/ranchers take in the ass.

No guns, now no beef exports because its hard on the cows. I reckon getting their throats slit in NZ makes the cows fell better.

New Zealand ships last livestock as ban takes effect​

Siete vs Delta 5 Pro vs AT-X

Considering three potential rifles (Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro, LaRue Siete, Accuracy International AT-X).

I want a rifle with the ability to easily change between calibers (I enjoy reloading and trying new fun short action calibers). I prefer to be in the sub 3k price range however willing to go a little more. I know the AT-X is closer to 5 however barrel kits seem to be more affordable in that platform.

I’m curious what experiences individuals have had and what I might be missing with this list. I have several LaRue gas guns and remain consistently happy with their performance.

Need help with 300 blackout

What is going on with this dang gun, it is constantly jamming the next round at an angle. They are 125 grain sst loaded with 18.5 g H110, 2.1 col averaging 2248 fps. Load it in singles and it locks back every time. It cycles the subsonics just fine. I don’t know what to try. Thanks in advance.
