Re: APA's new rings
Everyone on the waiting list gets them for $165 because that's what we told everyone. If you weren't on the list it will be $195. I tried to keep the price as low as I could but there was just too much in them to retail them at $165.
The Badger rings I weighed came in at 7.1 oz. Our rings in .856 30mm were 3.9 oz which was a comparable size.
I tested a set yesterday on a 308 at 400 yards. Shot 3 shots, loosened the screws, pulled the rings back in the slot, pushed them forward and just hand tightened them & shot 3 more. 6 shots in 1.6" with Corbon 175's. I think at this point these rings are probably the biggest thing we've done yet. I hope you guys like them as much as we do. Jeff put a ton of time in the fixtures. We remade them after Shot Show. The tolerances that we held on these will rival anything on the market. Not say'n there the best just say'n they work. Every single ring is checked for concentricity. The numbers Jeff was able to produce with the new fixtures blew us all away. Most are within .0005 or less of true center. That's a realistic number not something just thrown out there. Most scopes are going to be out considerably more than that. There are no matched sets. You can take ring number 1 and put it with number 300. In the next batch we will engrave the ring height on the ring body somewhere. It's always something I wanted to see from others and I think would be useful to a lot of folks.
