6.5x55, consider going with a Sendero or Medium Palma taper barrel.

Bump price drop.

Retired last year. It's great.

Hopefully, I'm not going way out in left field on this idea but here goes. Is there any chance @RAVAGE88 can produce a super accurate rimfire with a Fortner / straight-pull action that would fit in a R700 stock or chassis?

Yes, I know that Anschutz and Volquartsen already produce rifles with those actions but I'm confident that @RAVAGE88 has the skill to design one that can top those other manufacturers.

I realize that sounds like a crazy, outside of the box request. Yet, @RAVAGE88 was thinking outside the box when he started making super accurate rifles that had a 700 footprint years ago and look how it took off!

Pardon me while I slip into something flame-retardant.

He’s telling yall that it’s not tracking.
A chronograph has nothing to do with it.
OP,

Not from what he wrote. His test is not a tracking test ( checks repeatability) but seems to be about checking that it matches known dope.

Starting to get my MWS upgraded to get it out shooting again. Have a 15.5" MLOK upper and am getting it outfit with some Dwilson Arca rails. What do you guys recommend for Atlas compatible bipod adapters?

I'm not sure we will know how this plays out for a while yet. There was a mad rush in March/April to get in inventory before tariffs hit. Until vendors run out of inventory on hand I think it will stay flat.

They will pass on the price hike on inventory they had at the "standard gouging rate" instantly.

And will run the bullshit price till hell freezes over if thier price drops.

The only time they adjust it back down is when we quit buying and they are stacked to overflowing with inventory .

And they no longer put anything into upgrade or expansion. All that just goes to short term profits the company then crumbles and the fucking locusts laugh and move on.

@oldrifleman
Thanks! I will most definitely call them up.

6.5x55

Complete crap this isn't given the chance for a vote.

Still time to call, make them do their job.

Shoot, if Craddock put it together, give them a call.

My knee jerk is that rounds are getting buggered up during cycling. Chamber a round and check it before shooting it. Have you tried a different magazine?

Craddock just made the barrel and headspaced the JP bolt to it.

Shoot a 5x5 from the mag, then another single feeding.

Do this for 4 or 5 different seating depths and 4 or 5 neck tensions.

By the time you have enough data to figure it out, it’ll be time to call up Craddock for another barrel.

Or… accept that sub moa (which the left group appears to be) is exceptional for any semi auto.

Already sent the barrel back.... No issues found. Can't see it's anything with the barrel since it shot a 0.147" group single feeding it. I have to conclude that the rifle is accurate, my loads are accurate and I can shoot it accurately.... But something is happening during the BCG cycling that is screwing up something.... What that something is I have no idea......
Just to check out if my handloads are the issue.... I've fired factory FGGM and Federal T308T..... No difference when magazine fed. I have two different BCG's and nothing changes....

The wino and I know

Price drop-625 shipped for the upper

Lots of these ready to go! Dealer orders are welcome!

Yep.... Magpul and a $90.00 Larue... No difference.
