When I was checking online a while back to see what ranges were in the area, I came across Turkey Pen. I watched a video of a couple minutes of a gun safety class they did there, and to my surprise there were 3 of my nephews in the video!

I would love to!

That's when I really appreciate a good bow :)

No, the land I had my eye on didn't work out. I'm going to be moving to Melbourne, but won't be opening a range anytime soon :'(

Thanks for reposting the pictures. I tried just attaching them but it wasn't working for me.

Here are some photos of my bolt heads. The redesigned .380/.378 one is always on the right, and the old .475/.473 one is on the left. I did the best to get good lighting on the lug cams, but it is hard when they are so small and everything is black. Also notice that the ejector slot is deeper on...

Like someone else said earlier,the commercial itself really wasn't bad. Most of the stuff in there I could support, but I know there is an underlying feminist agenda. That I can't support. Another thing thing I don't like about it is that they condemn the guys acting sexual without addressing...

I plan on posting some comparison photos.

It is not something that keeps the rifle from working, so it is not something that needs to be replaced, but it makes me much happier with the action. I bought two different bolt heads - .470 and .380, and they both had the same lug cams. Now the .380 has been swapped for a redesigned version...

I didn't come across a post like that while I was looking for the one quoted above. But it does say in that email that all the actions from then on (at least the ones going through PVA) would ship with the redesigned bolt heads. So I would say it would be reasonable to guess that if an action...

I figured I would cross-post here to tell everybody about the redesigned bolt heads:

@Kiba It took me a while, but I found the post you were referring to. Here it is for other people's benefit. This is part of a quote from what appears to be a PVA email: I will definitely be taking advantage of the upgrade for my other bolt head! Right now they are pretty backlogged though, so...

@karagias @Jon_ARC So when I got my action back from ARC, my .380 (.378) bolt head was not with it. I called them and they said that they had found some sort of defect in the .380 bolt heads, one that nobody but them had noticed yet. They said that they would send me one from a new batch once...

Yep. Show up, pay $40, shoot. :)

Ted (ARC) got my action today and gave me a call. We ended the call on good terms and both agreed to do a follow-up here. The reasons I sent it to him were so he could take a look at the burrs, and so he could tell me if mine cycled as intended (I don't have a second one to compare it to). He...
