    Does custom action make this much difference?

    The action is only a delivery device for the bullets to go to and from the chamber. Some are built heavier, some lighter. What youre paying for is concentration, tollerances and coatings. Youre better off buying more barrels, a nice trigger, good scope, ammo and some training. If you want a...

    Archimedes?

    Here is a picture of the bolt showing the toroidal lugs. I thought that this feature was a pretty slick idea. The inside of the actions mating surface is also slopped in the same way, producing contact. This is just one cool feature in this action. Ted has really put some time into this...

    Archimedes?

    Gnochi, Thats good stuff! I'm all set to go, exceept I'm still waiting on a trigger tech to show up. I could swap out a special out of a different rifle, but id rather wait tell the diamond came in. They say to not run the diamonds in the Archimedes because of the pull weight can get so low...

    Archimedes?

    Well I dont have the trigger tech that I ordered on their black Friday deal. So it doesnt cock and latch without a trigger. It cocks than when you put the bolt back home it snaps shut. But it should be slick as hell with a trigger. Will update. Deano

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Day Pack - recommendations?

    If you want a pack that outlasts all other packs, look at kifaru. They have a ton of different sizes and shapes. The nice thing is that they're more modular than most. You can add or subtract what you want, when you want. They also have one of the best suspension of all the packs out. Xdeano

    Cerakote woes and issues

    Brush the shit out of it maybe. Tell the guy who did your cerakote to use an ear plug in the muzzle next time. Cheap and east way to seal a barrel. Xdeano

    Archimedes?

    A 10 day wait on an action? Really. Thats stupid! But it is the land of fruits and nuts. That would be the last state id spend any money in. I wish you well. Mine should be at my FFL by about noon today. I'll go by on Monday to pick it up because I wont have time today or this weekend. Xdeano

    Archimedes?

    Yep marks a good guy. Ive know him for 15 or more years. Im always running around his property. Im sure we know several people in common. The community is pretty small. Ive shot a couple rush lake matches, but the last couple years have been kind of crazy, so ive been lacking. But I get to...

    Archimedes?

    When I'm sneaking into positions I'm holding just in front of the mag well. Or if I'm trying to slid up over a knob on some coyotes a few hundred yds away in several feet of snow, I put my rifle on my snowshoes and push the whole works forward. I do agree though while on stand im not playing...

    Hahahaha! Youve got that right. Not many trees, but there are some cute girls up here when you can find them without 14 layers of cloths on during our week of summer. Ive been running manners, McMillan stocks to combat some of the cold. I keep my mpa stock for matches. Xdeano

    Archimedes?

    I run into the cold aluminum issue up here in North Dakota with my MPA chassis. I will not take it out calling because it's to cold on the hands. So I know how you feel. I've thought about putting some of that adhesive backed mole skin on the forend. Can't really wrap it with anything without...
