    Proof Research RMA Turnaround time?

    Ask for Nick Palmiter, he was very helpful when working through a similar situation as noted above. Mine were turned around in about 6 weeks, and turnaround was based on proximity to recently completed production run of 22ARC barrels through their shop.

    Rifle Scopes *UPDATED MODEL *PRIMARY ARMS GLX 2.5-10

    Very interested to see how PA handles their reticles in the future ie. dot vs. chevron, with most not available on relevant ballistic apps. Would really like to see them flesh out the PLX lineup with new mag ranges-not sure if new 2.5-20 or 2.5-10 are PLX, reticles-though Griffin works well for...

    Road Bikers Unite!

    Am certain I need a new rim, spokes and nips, but hub is good and well maintained and cassette is brand new. Sure, a new bike would be great, though at 72, not sure I want to drop $5-7.5k on a new ride. Hell, my mtn bikes are still both 26’s with XTR, and solid components, but have a hard time...

    Road Bikers Unite!

    Could use a reference for wheel repair. Have been riding a Colnago CT-1 since early 2000. All Campy Record 10spd with Zipp 303 rim brake clinchers. No ability to adapt disc brakes. Pulled spoke through the rim after all this time and cannot get anyone local to rebuild/repair. 28 spoke rear...

    6.5 Grendel

    If factory annealed, should be minimal spring back. For future loading, if not annealing, may develop some degree of spring back after several firings. I’m pretty OCD about the details, so anneal every firing and have very consistent neck tension and low SD’s. I use same process loading for...

    6.5 Grendel

    If you were using Redding dies, easy button would be a VLD seating stem, vs std. “The Redding Competition Seating Dies for bottleneck cases are supplied with a free-floating seat stem that works well with the most common bullets available for the given caliber. Redding also makes these VLD...

    Bolt carrier for precision AR-15

    I’ve had 5 JP FMOS complete BCG’s for 5 22ARC builds that have been back ordered for going on 4 months, and have just shipped earlier this week. Not sure what the source of delay, whether it’s military demand for 6ARC, or overall demand for the common bolt face cartridges. Love me some JP...

    Fastest temp stable powder

    ARC has been consistently excellent for me in 6.5 Grendel over multiple platforms from 18-24”. Accuracy, temp stability, low SD’s in all varieties of TX weather. Seems to be getting more available, but still very pricey.

    Long Range Gas Gun Optics

    I’m running Bushnell DMR Pro2 and DMR3 3.5-21’s on 2 6.5 CM AR’s. Good glass, tough, repeatable and usable reticles. You’ve got a good list to pick from and I wouldn’t leave these off. You’re going to have a heavy setup anyway you go, and if a truck gun on ranch, and not always packing it...

    Sro failure ?

    Plus one on Trijicon warranty service. Mine was purchased from a member here, used on a 9mm PCC briefly, started eating batteries and then dead entirely. They replaced all the lens and internals and returned in about 3+ weeks. Good comms all through the process, very professional on the phone...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SRO on older 320 X5

    I saw options from CHWPS, but there are a substantial number of quality issues that have been documented here and elsewhere that led me to avoid using them. QC and customer service response being big problems. Thx for reply.

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    Didn’t do the race, but did SO for a Guns and Gears mountain bike biathlon yesterday in the Hill Country outside of San Antonio. And coached my friend to a women’s 2nd place, and she was using a loner Savage single shot pink 22LR, she’d only shot once the day before to do it. Good day.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SRO on older 320 X5

    Appreciate the comments. Athena shows a plate for Legend and a straight 320, though what they show would not work on the older X5 I have in hand. I’ll see how this holds up in match and regular use and keep these links for reference. Thanks.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Anyone else tried this 5/16 round mag from Brenton. Will go to 2.3 OAL, though I might have a concern about recoil induced bullet pushback. More, after some testing. Insert limits you to 5 rounds, they say 16-I’d prefer to hold it to 15, with limiter removed.

    For the record, for the older, pre-Legend and other 320X5 variants, this worked.
