Who tuned those ones??

I'll admit. My first Bix, I got it and tried adjusting/tuning it and i was NOT thrilled. It felt mushy and had creep.

I called BulletCentral and they asked me exactly what I wanted it to do and pull distances and weight ( I run all 2 stage).

I sent it in, their guru trigger tuner worked his magic and sent it back..It was like a completely different trigger. First stage pull weight and distance of travel was perfect, solid wall at 2nd stage and broke like a glass rod.

I now have 7 of them, and I had every one tuned to the same spec by BulletCentral.

I have Timney and TT and Jewel here. None come close.

The ones you tried were most likely fucked with by someone that didnt know how to properly tuned them. I tried for hours and couldn't get any of mine to feel like they do when BulletCentral tunes them..

Personally, I don’t want a trigger that I have to send off to Bubba to get working properly and I certainly don’t want to do that to seven of them.

I’ll stick with my trigger tech diamond. Absolutely zero creep zero over travel breaks like a glass rod. Get them on sale for under 250 bucks and install it. Turn a screw to the desired weight and I am done.

We really need some common sense heat legislation....think of the children!

I've become very fond of carrying a cleaver blade knife for utility. I just find it's easier and more useful to just do away with the majority of the point and this blade geometry of this Gerber Asada lends itself better to the stuff I pull it out to cut every day.

I probably have 150 knives, and like this one the best for edc. Maybe not stabby enough for some people. It'll slash with the best of them.

Going to pay a ticket for tinted windows (state police written, I didn't even know the car had tinted driver / passenger windows when I bought it that's how little tint there is).

Just the other day local pd drove by with windows tinted so dark I couldn't tell if anyone was in the vehicle.

Rules for thee not for me is a huge shift from the "public servants" we were sold initially. Can't think of one time a policeman has helped me personally

My neighbor across the street is highway patrol. Missouri has tint laws, and all his vehicles have the windows, including the windshield, tinted dark as fuck. Even has a light bar on his truck that he drives around on the streets turned on, which is also illegal in Missouri. A neighbors kid passed his wife on the county highway when she was driving slow, he had a uniformed HP officer go and threaten to write a ticket to the kid for wreckless driving. The guy is a class a douche canoe, and poster child for the "rules for thee but not for we" idea.

I can't say how many times I'm working on a .25-.5'' 5 or 10 shot group and the last round of the group always gets thrown out!

The most recent update fixed that problem

Hunt was a resounding success. Got a medium sized sow in the Frank Church

I don't have Litz level evidence, but it has been my personal experience that shorter barrel rifles are considerably easier to load for than long barrels. Just like a heavy barrel reduces whip and makes it easier to tune the ammo for percision, so to do do short barrels whip less and have a wider accuracy band.

Not much of a .308 guy outside of gassers, but my buddy needed money and wanted to sell me a rifle, so I bought his 16" Remington 700 SPS to help him out. Didn't even look at it much, but the first thing I noticed when I got home was the the barrel wasn't straight in the Hogue, free floated, factory stock. It wasn't touching and a dollar bill slid smoothly down it's length, but definitely crooked to the naked eye...WTF. Here we go I thought. Do I really want to spend a bunch of time fooling with this thing trying to get it to shoot straight, or just give it to the LGS on consignment?

I just grabbed a box of .308s loaded to mag length for AR10s just to see how badly it shot. The shitty Nikon scope was way off, but after getting it sighted in I was shocked. Thing shot very straight and shot sub moa at 100yds for over 20 rounds. 1.5 MOA for 30 shots on basically factory ammo (hand loaded). I strongly suspect that despite the shoddy QC of this Remington that part of the reason it shoots so straight with no tuning the ammo or anything (might as well be factory ammo) is that short barrel is more forgiving. That is not the first time I've had a shorter barrel give great precision without a lot of effort.

I have a low speed, high drag lifestyle, and could give a shit about all the benefits of a shorter rifle in terms of tieredness. I do think that up to a point the shorter barrel in high recoil rifles are just easier to wring precision out of. That it's a heavy contour for a factory rifle helps, and making it shorter means you're not adding a ton of weight to have a heavier contour for hunting with it.

I like them. If I was going to buy a factory rifle I would pretty much only buy one with a shorter and heavier contour to maximize my chances of getting a shooter. Again, this is all anecdotal and I am not running double blind tests, but this has been my experience. Take it for what it's worth.

I am putting together a build and if I am doing the math right it's going to be around a 25lb rifle w/ can and bipod using the quoted TCS-Max weight. I assume the 8.9lb weight is quoted with the crutch weight and all rail weights installed? If so I can add the butt weight and dump the crutch weight?

My only frame of reference is an 18lb GAP 6mm creed and a 6.5CM AI @ 19.5lbs. This isn't necessarily a PRS rifle so much as a general precision build, I'm not concerned about the rifle being heavy as I am being out of balance. I am worried that the newer style TCS-Max will be extremely nose heavy given my desire to run a 28" 1.25" barrel and can.

For how long wait times are, I don't want to buy the wrong Manners stock.

Two areas of concern that might make the rifle out of balance are:
28" 1.25" (I could go 26")
TBAC Magnus-S RR

Are my thoughts of being unable to get the rifle in balance unfounded or a sincere concern? I wanted to ask here from actual TCS users.

A 28” straight might be a bit nose heavy, a 26” will do well. My Foundation Samson rifle with the rear butt stock weights removed and brass up front was very nose heavy with a 26” crb comp.

I've used Midwest industries guards on a couple of builds with good results. They clear the superlative arms agb's that I use.

Why not use 7mmBR brass and blow your shoulder out to dasher, but have 7mm necks already ?

I was quietly thinking the same thing.

We were running 7BR out of some XP-100s in the 80's to shoot the Long Range portion of the the MASTERS national competition. It was stupid easy to get 1MOA accuracy out of with Nosler BTs and had plenty of energy to down steel with even at long distance with shitty hits.
