    SAUM help choosing.

    Yeah but the heavy 6.5s come with a recoil and velocity penalty. The 130 class .257 pills are pretty dang slick for the weight. Without a brake im lousy at spotting shots with lightweight 6.5s so I’ll take all the help I can get. Brakes suck but especially so on hunting rifles.

    SAUM help choosing.

    Had a couple 6.5 saums and still have a 7 saum. I’d probably do a 25-6.5 PRC before any of them these days but a 25 SAUM sounds cool too. Those 130 class 25s would be lasers.

    Thoughts? Christiansen Arms Mesa vs Tikka T3X

    Neither sounds appealing at all for long range shooting to me - because 6.5# rifle in 300wm isn't a ton of fun. General rifle/company attributes I'd take a tikka over a mesa any day. For 300wm though a tikka factory mag is way too short for loading heavy bullets longer. If you're shooting...

    Describe your perfect scope

    In that vein, cut the 8x+ erector bullshit and make something that is more useful without so many compromises. Make this a 4-20. 3-24x52 March was the most disappointing scope purchase I’ve ever made.

    NEW- Geissele King Hunter

    Seekins ph3

    And an 8 in 6 creed. I don’t get it. But 7 RM gets an 8 twist. Not sure if they or their barrel supplier is just limited on twist options?

    Federal does it again 😅

    Appears to be factory ammo vs factory ammo amigo. Plenty of reports of factory 7 PRC ammo putting up the numbers he posted. Federal 7 prc seems to be a little faster on recent lots than hornady both with 175 eldx. But yeah, that’s about what I ran that bullet at from 22” 7 saums.

    I never said it didn’t. I said recoil energy.

    Federal does it again 😅

    In that simple math on every recoil calculator I’ve seen there is a place to enter powder weight. Because powder has mass too and said mass goes forward out the barrel with the bullet so there is recoil energy going back for it as well. So if a bullet has identical velocity in 2 guns but one...

    Federal does it again 😅

    Actually is different. Don’t see why the need for the shit talking without seeing how it plays out. This in a bolt action makes more sense to me than 277 fury being a primary battle rifle chambering. Hell of a lot of hunters bought into 7prc and only shoot factory ammo. If this thing has...

    Tikka actions

    You mean to tell me that it is easier to shoot heavy rifles well than light weight ones?

    Tikka actions

    None of my sporter barrels have POI shift from heat and I typically shoot them until I'm fed up with the mirage. I'm convinced that the "pencil barrels walk when they heat up" issue is largely repeated dogma from a couple sources: 1- people who want to pretend their rifle is more accurate than...

    Threading lightweight barrel

    Missed this reply. I'm not sure how the various added shoulders are held in place/indexed against. I've asked before and was told at least in one case the muzzle is threaded a little deeper where the additional shoulder is put and it they are rokset (or similar) in place in addition to being...

    Yeah, i dont buy it. Only deflection test ive heard of was from Alex wheeler and he didn't note any material difference in stiffness from carbon to a similar weight steel barrel. Insulating steel doesn't help with heat dissipation. POI change with heat seems to be most prevalent with poorly...

    Suppressors SiCo Scythe review

    Handful of reported weld failures out there on 18-22” SAUMs and PRCs. Mine probably has 800 ish rounds on it primarily on a 18” 6 creed and it has worked well for me.

    Speeds from 24” ctr in 20 degree temps. 10 rds Berger factory ammo. This is 7 rounds of the 130 Norma @100 yds. Same shit that you can get right now for $1.10/ea shipped. Not bad for a $170 “production” barrel

    Tikka actions

    I was looking at a PVA barreled action Solus as a price point option for a NRL hunter setup. I think I'd rather have that over a tikka for range use, especially if a guy could get one in the light action. The flexibility of chambering/contour is definitely a benefit. That said, I had a buddy...

    What rifles are being used in NRL H factory class?

    I didn’t take issue with anything. My post was just for the OP or anyone looking at factory class that the seekins 6CM seemed to be the best option for someone wanting to maximize scores. I do find it a bit odd that NRL would allow smaller cartridges in factory class as its not like a factory...

    So what makes a solus a “custom” and therefor better?

    Tikka actions

    Aero sells bare actions so they are “custom” and better than “production”, never knew. So are their ARs “custom” and better than production too? Are the weatherby 307 actions “custom” too?
