yup, that's what I meant. so what type of rounds to you shoot and how far out is normal for you to shoot with it?
16-18 inch shorty rifles

Depending on bullet and what you’re tryna do. 400-500yds isn’t hard but it is really slow at those distances. Iirc I’ve been 600yds with 110gr. I like 200gr+ subs and 1/7twist and stay 300yds and below. Suppressed in a bolt gun it’s stupid quiet, you can hear the impact on a hog over the report.
I had a hard time getting the 80s to shoot better than the 87s. I use Rl16 for the 87s and couldn't get the 80s to shoot under 1 moa with it. Switched to H4350 and the faster I shot them the better they grouped.
Athlon 2.5-15 Ares BTR Gen 2 with a Bering Optics Super Yoter C Gen2. I ran a minox ZP 5 3-15, but the parallax minimum is 50 yards. The 10 yard parallax on the Athlon and the 2.5x is a huge improvemant with the clip on.
ok, that's actually what I wanted to know so thank you. I think subs will be the primary food it eats but being able to shoot subs or supers is a big plus. What all bullet weights are used? I guess I could use some of my 308 bullets that I don't shoot anymore
like TGK Sierra 175gr in it for subs or IA there some bullets that do a lot better for subs?
If you use the digital zoom version, your zero changes when you zoom. With no digital zoom, I just zoom in with the scope. Digital zoom equals less pixals and that makes it blurry.
Just for reference my 20” 6mm creedmoor is shooting factory 87gr v-max at 2900fps.
I can’t get decent velocity from my hand loads. Accuracy is outstanding though.
I used Black Hills ELDM 108gr out of a 24" Proof Bull Barrel which was extremely accurate. I expect when I drop down to 16" barrel the speed will drop significantly, but hopefully accuracy will remain same,
How's the ATX with that reflex can shoot? AEM30?
I had a miserable time with reflex cans and the Ops12 brakes on my bolt gun.
The ATX has a Tbac Magnus RR on it
The Defiance/AI chassis is an AE M24 can. Currently in a 6 creed. I had the barrel profiled to fit the can. It shoots well with 107 SMK right at 3k. I shot some factory Federal Match with Sierra 107s and they shoot lights out as well. I considered running them in a match honestly. Only reason I haven't is the can is fuckn heavy.

Got my bravo for my 223 bergara today. Extended latch fixed any feeding issues I had.
Nice. What color is that AI? Looks like color they used on some of the REM RACs
It’s a Surgeon CSR in AI DE (Accuracy International Dark Earth) chassis was originally black and I had it cerakoted.
Not 16"...but short.
I'm not 100% on the rings though...

8.5" .338 ARC with permattach TBAC Magnus. Mack Bros Element and XLR Atom
I love it! How’s the 8.5” barrel work for the 338 ARC? I’ve considered the round.
That NightStalker is hot AF
Dig the no-color scheme
Thanks! I was totally sleeping on the Night Stalker, didn’t even know it was a thing until 2 months ago. It’s literally the perfect stock for me. The Back in Black is dope AF, tho I’m fighting the urge to pant it m81 camo
It’s a JTAC elf-owl. It ain’t light…lol. I don’t really care for the retractable stock so I went with a Samson SAS it’s really nice. I like it a lot.
I'm a fan. I think Mack Bros do good work, especially for the price. It runs very slick and the weight is true to advertisement. Lighter than other Ti actions I've owned before. The only gripe I have is that it's set up for BDL box and 2.850" COAL so non-binder plate magazines with standard S/A cartridges might be a problem. For the mini-size ARC/grendel stuff I've been doing with it, it doesn't matter, but I notched the feed ramp in the mill anyway.
As far as pre-fit capability I can't say with certainty. I believe they hold the actions consistent enough for it, but I'm not sure if anyone is making prefits that will work. I need to compare the tennon print to an Impact 737-- I think they might be the same but I need to verify that.
I don't have a Mack Bros, but a friend does. He called Mack Bros, and it sounded like the newer actions are 'pre-fit capable', but some/all of the older versions are not. Unfortunately, it sounds like MB wouldn't provide a serial # or any actionable info that could be used to tell which "version" he had. For my friend, his gunsmith just measured his specific action, and now that smith can cut and send however many 'prefits' that action wants.
