Well maybe I'm that 10% then. I have a few zcos sitting here and just ordered a $4400 march. Owned literally everything on the market from TT to Minox to Kahles to S&B down to Vortex and Leupold.

Glass is important but tracking and durability are way more important. Almost every one of those Chinese made scopes has significant issues when you run them. If all you do is look through the glass then fine. But when you are running them every week bouncing around in trucks and falling over racks and dropping off props you quickly figure out what holds up and what doesn't. Arken was the big push a few years ago and all the clowns were buying them. And they were all shitting the bed at matches. Or watching the instructor try to figure out why it wouldnt hold zero at a class. Seeing new shooters chase their tails is only funny for so long before it becomes a distraction to everyone else.

There are already PLENTY of decent options in the $1K market. Asian Burris, Quasi-Asian Leupolds, Japp OEM and whatever the hell steiner usa ultimately is. too numerous to name. All well established brands. I own a bunch of those "cheaper" optics on hunting guns, plinking shit, ARs ect. Not everything gets a $4-5K optic. Too many guns and not enough sugar momma. Why would I buy chinese or no name anything for $1K when there are alrerady a bunch of good options for pretty much every shooting niche out there?

It seems every month some new name is poping up trying to get a segment of the market. Its a saturated market and there must be a shit load of money in branding and reselling OEM shit becuase people keep doing.

Now I could go on a whole spiel how transfering knowledge and technolgy to advance chinese elcectro optical industry (which is what western companies do in almost every industry to get a foothold there) is tanamount to treason by helping to arm and advance our enemy but we can save that for another day. How industrial and technological espionage is the biggest threat to national security and takes up an astronomical part of our national intellegence budget. How so much of the price we all pay is baked in to combat these chicom cucksuckers and their fellow travelers. Any semi patriot American (and I get you were not born here) should stop and think about what the implications of their purchases are. Where their money is going and who is ultimatley benefiting.

Ignore all that and its still dumb to buy inferior chinese shit when you can buy american and semi american products for the same money that are much higher quality.

I have him building me one. I’ve never seen primers, lmk if you find any for sale that you aren’t buying yourself. I took delivery of a good number of M55A3 projos last week and gonna acquire brass soon.

Do you crimp your bullets or just glue them in to save case mouth life? The factory ammo has a wicked crimp into that bullet groove.

ok, not sure why you would go with a re-bore vs re-barrel. The ONLY time I would consider it was to preserve a historic barrel for a rifle. For this I would just get it rebarreled with a proven modern barrel.

Hope it wasn't a ship load of primers? Or Varget?

I have 2 of the Anzios, about 600rds of his “match” bullets. The rifles are very niche, good talking piece and fun to watch when people shoot them. Both of mine are suppressed. For anyone to actually be able to shoot under an 1” with those “match” grade bullets was probably only shoot 1 bullet. The bullets for the 20 don’t ride on the barrel lands & grooves, only the driving band does. And considering the driving band is only pressed on to touch the case mouth, I’d be hard pressed to see any accuracy there from them.
I’ve loaded my own, have a tad over 800 cases, about 400 of the blue practice rounds. My dies are C-H, they are well made, gigantic and the press is ungodly. The biggest caveat is going to be primers. Every now and then they pop up, not cheap, but I think they fall off a truck.
On the 14.9, the company I know that was wanting to build one was Cadex, and ultimate precision with Chase Stroud was gonna make the ammo. Lathe turned bullets, 50cal primers, surplus brass was available but primer was boxer(whichever had the 2 holes). But the issue was Cadex couldn’t import DD being a Canada company. But they talked about 12.7, and you just have a barrel spun for 14.9.

Overall Mike Remo is fun to hang out with, rifles are a huge talking piece on the range, ammo is kinda available in the amounts most people actually want to shoot this thing.

Totally agree, sir.

It's analogous to going into Iraq to 'facilitate the spread of Democracy' (and LGQTBLMNOP++++ rights) to an ungrateful nation that wants nothing to do with it; similarly, the aforementioned blue shit-holes don't want law and order, either, or they would press their so-called leaders (reads: losers) for law and order.

They want to kick the police out and use those funds to handout boobie-blockers, needles, and estrogen tablets. So be it. Let them it to the ground and let the rest of America wake up and refuse to offer our time, talents, and treasure to helping them rebuild.

Seems a touch slow, is the barrel fully broken in?

31 to 31.2 grains Varget usually gets me about 2830-2850 with a 26" barrel.

Am I just trash with an AR?

I'm having some real struggles with shooting groups. I'm slowly realizing that I just might be trash at shooting. This is my first attempt at building and shooting a precision small frame AR. The plan was to get a barrel in and test it before sending it off to D.wilson to have it converted for...
