    New Atlas Bipod--Play in Legs Usual?

    Search for a fella on here by the name of Kasey. He's the owner of AccuShot. Or for a more prompt response, call him directly. As busy as he is, he's great about answering calls and responding to voicemails. He'll give you a better answer than anyone else here.

    New Atlas Bipod--Play in Legs Usual?

    Kasey from Accu Shot is a member here, he'll probably chime in and confirm exactly where the play is built in. Either way, when it's loaded, the feet are behind the mount on a forward cant so any forward pressure pushes the feet into the ground. On a Harris, the feet remain perpendicular so any...

    Manners T5A vs T5

    1.3lbs is not negligible when a stock pack can do the job for a few ounces. You can see by my sig I chose the adjustable but I wasn't concerned with weight for that one.

    Manners T5A vs T5

    I won't miss having to mangle my bases to get usos to fit. OP, if you don't EVER plan on running another scope on that rifle, then you can skip the hardware. Personally, I like having options but I can dig the weight savings too.

    carbon fiber stocks from evil empire

    A comparably optioned Manners or McMillan + bedding and dbm or mini chassis runs around the $1200 mark and they're not carbon fiber :p Manners already has a customer for life but the more the merrier, right?

    Need a folder for a 16.5

    Mine wears the qd brake(can't remember the length vs the hider, I'd have to measure) and I thought about pinning it but I'd be out $90 once the barrel is worn out. Since my original question's been answered, what are you using for a case? After using Pelicans for some time, I'd like to try a...

    Need a folder for a 16.5

    Got in touch with a field office today. They confirmed that the law measures unfolded, assuming the stock is affixed and not readily removable. Opens up the options a little.

    Need a folder for a 16.5

    Thanks Ryan. Just tracked down their number. Oddly enough I paved the lot next door just a couple years ago.

    Need a folder for a 16.5

    AI stocks don't do it for me and I'm looking to keep it relatively light. KRG and Manners are frontrunners but until I get a hold of someone who can clarify legal length, I'm gonna err on the side of caution.

    Need a folder for a 16.5

    The strike 33 is nice looking but 7.2lbs is way too heavy to be considered an option. I don't like that a Manners or W3 will be around 5 lbs but they're the lightest folding options I've found so far.

    remington 700 sps 16.5 anybody know about it?

    jbmballistics.com. Its a free online calculator that will help determine a bullet's performance under the specific conditions you shoot in. Barrel length is accounted for in the velocity. Shorter barrels will launch em slower than longer barrels but this is the most difficult variable if you...

    Need a folder for a 16.5

    I was under the impression that it's the shortest operating length. Anyone know? Like really know? Wikipedia and random Google hits don't count. I'm not committing a felony because of the bozos on the internet(no offense, guys :p)

    remington 700 sps 16.5 anybody know about it?

    The only way to determine max range is to shoot it. These aren't TRGs or AIs; some will shoot better than others. My rings will be in today, itll get shot and chronod this weekend. I'll reaport back with velocities but I anticipate 7-800 yards wont be an issue if your wind calls are good. Not...
