I use the AREA419 Hellfire system. It is fantastic.

I made three range trips - about 4 hours a piece. Had the Garmin on and used it the entire time, still had more than 50% battery life. The battery is internal and you can plug and external battery to it (USB-C) but I don’t think you will need to. Great product.

Spent the morning with the new Garmin at the range - BEST piece of kit that I have purchased in many years. Garmin hit a home run with this hardware and the App. It never missed a shot - suppressed or not - mounted to the gun on placed on the ground next to the shooter. Fantastic.

That is exactly what I used and it works great. (Old RRS clamp and Area419 rail)

I hope that ColeTac or similar company makes a soft case for the unit and Area419 rail.

Could your “old bolt” be from a Model Seven? The length and shape of the shroud look like it did.

Does anyone know the secret to getting the stud removed? I just received mine and even heating it too hot to hold, it will not budge. 24hr update… After soaking in Kroil overnight and heating till was HOT with a glove - I was able to get the Red Loctite to release. Leaving this so that others...

What were your approximate order dates? (Just seeing how far down the line I am…)

Yes - no problems.

I mount mine on the outside of the front leg on the bench. It’s out of the way and easy to work on. I bolted it through the 4x4 leg with long bolts and fender washers. No issues getting stubborn factory barrels off.

I have the same basic setup but a M24 profile - without any additional weights, mine is 18.3lbs. Balances 2’ish inches ahead of the magazine well junction.

Picked up my new Zeus from the FFL today. Very impressed! Exactly what I had hoped for. Spinning up a barrel this weekend and plan on putting it through its paces. Thanks Joel for a great product.

They have fantastic customer support and service. Give them a call and they will take care of you.

You may check the seating depth…. A friend had this issue with a 6x47. Had the firing pin bushed and examined - seating depth fixed it…. Intiatilly, he was trying to stay a couple thousandths of the lands, moved to -.020 and it stopped piercing.

My 6BR‘s would change a little when the brake came off and on. Group size seemed pretty similar and maybe a 1/2 MOA adjustment max.
