Laughs in Tangent Theta.Built impact or tl3 > ai. The ai trigger ruins it for me and I do not care at all about the quick barrel change.
Zco seems to be accepted the best scope out right now.
419 or badger for the scope mount

This is exactly what the "need for speed" crew is missing. Constantly pushing the bleeding edge and subsequently giving up consistency and staying in tune. But who care about modest, consistent loads and longer barrel life LOL?Back in 2020 I competed with a large frame AR in PRS Regional Gas division and learned a lot about pressure when it came to yearlong consistency with H4350 and Varget in a 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't recall the charge weight but settled on moving 140's with Varget in the mid 2600's and brought the regional season trophy home. Since then, I went back to open division with a bolt rifle and used the 6GT with Varget. I stayed in the 31.5-32.5 weight range over 6 barrels to make a consistent 2830fps load. Eventually I wanted to go slower and moved to a 6mm BR with 109 Hybrid's and 29 grains of Varget for 2725fps. For the past 9 months and 2367 rounds it has remained consistent and generally stays under a 5sd for any given shot string. Since slowing things down and jumping bullet's .055 or longer I have never had to retune a load in close to 10 barrels now. This in 6GT's, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mmBR, 25GT and 6.5x47L. The exception was two barrels with tighter bores, which I will never do again. Otherwise, the loads have worked equally well in the next replacement barrel screwed on to the action provided the freebore was the same.
I love the amount you can see with the extra flight time when it comes to rifle sports... I also run a 25GT with 135 Hybrid's and a 6.5x47 with 135 A-tips in the mid 2600's for the same reason.
The looks can be priceless when speaking to shooters struggling with their combo that are running loads two or three hundred feet per second faster than you, and you just left them in the dust with a stage clean.
I have a feeling that a more modest load adds barrel life as well, but I have only shot out one-barrel and that was a 6GT that started to show signs at 3200 rounds and was definitively done at 3600ish when a 6 tenth windage shift occurred and I had lost about 60fps after cleaning... it still shot great though, LOL.
