I have a few Carbon barrel rifles that were...(custom threaded) for the Thunderbeast Brakes for the thread over brake style TBAC suppressors. By this I mean the threads were "timed" so to speak so when I threaded the brake on they were perfectly timed without the use of the crush washers to align the brake. Interestingly, by doing this for whatever reason it has made other 5/8-24 adapters useless. They will thread on about 3 turns and then a hard stop.

So, can you "erase" the current threads on the barrel and rethread to a "standard" 5/8-24? Obviously, can't cut the carbon barrel down.

Sounds like whoever threaded your barrels was doing a “thread to fit” pitch dimension. It’s not hard for a competent gunsmith to put the barrel back in the lathe and pick up the current thread. He simply shrinks the pitch diameter until the thread is in proper specification.

Well, you could be in luck either way; I’m doing at least one of each.

I just sold my Rim-X in anticipation of a new Mike Bush no-compromise creation which takes correct advantage of a fast-twist barrel.

It will need to go some to keep up with my 1st-gen V22 with 22" MTU / 1:16 Bartlein machined and installed at Old Vudoo (replaced original 20" Ace kukri)! Here are consecutive 102-yard groups (4, 6, 10 rounds respectively) with Lapua Long Range. Wind puffed a little on last one and I didn't try to adjust for it.

Also worth noting that these are 3 of 15 groups fired while "tuning the EC tuner" with this lot of LLR. I ended up moving it three "notches." Interestingly, the 3-notch move had definitive negative impact on grouping of previous-tuned Center-X (opened about .1 mils). So I moved back to the C-X setting; groups tightened right back up. The LLR adjustment made almost a tenth mil difference across six groups.

And no, I absolutely will not say I get this kind of accuracy AllTheTime, but it's not that unusual. That middle one... never done it before, but I bet Milke's new creation will do it again. And again.

(Grid is .36" (.1 mil @100))

I wonder if it was thread for a different pitch. Timing a muzzle brake does not normally change a 5/8x 24 thread.

Never been tempted to crap on a desk if I hit the numbers. Been numerous times I've considered imitating that aborigine at the end of Quigley Down Under.

I wacked a few cows near 600y with a 6cm, they died just as fast as ones I shot with my 338 rum. Put a hole in the vitals it doesn't matter if it's an 88 eldm, or a 300 Berger, shit dies.

True for sure. About 8 years ago I inadvertently stumbled on the 6 Creed/108 ELDM combo long before the Rokslide dudes made it cool. I grabbed my comp gun for a late season cow hunt and lugged it around one day before I found a cow to shoot. Distance was probably around 500, maybe a little less. The combo worked great and I have used it ever since for cow elk and just about everything, besides my mountain goat. Only downfall of it can be that it does wreak havoc on the inside and you find some bullet fragments in odd parts of the animal even with a behind the shoulder hit.

reach out to Kurt @ KI Precision (NJ), he can get u in a Bergara barreled action in ur price range.

Discourse about scopes is polluted by people seeking confirmation on their $5k+ purchases. A lot of petty and asinine comments when it comes to this subject.

Also, $5k+ for a scope these days is crazy. Law of diminishing returns is incredibly applicable here.

Can't believe this shooter is still available

Hey, there’s still a few good miles on those!

Try to add a little freon...

I would definitely pay the price to step up to the 1280 if it wasn't for the lack of pic rail/ADM mount. That's LITERALLY the only thing that has stopped me from doing so but I am kinda hoping they'll just magically release a version with one. They did change the TB630 which didn't have the QD mount on it before so I guess anything's possible. Knowing my luck though I'll drop the money on one thing and the next week it'll come out lol

Be careful about believing that 1280 is automatically better than 640 in thermals, including clip-ons. At a given objective lens diameter, the increased size of the sensor only results in increased FOV, not increased resolution on the target. The Guide Sensmart 1280 clip-on has a 50mm objective lens so it’s really not clear to me that it will excel at longer-range shooting (people in this thread were mentioning 500yd shooting and hoping for Voodoo-M performance).
