    Good to know. Do you think it’s worth trying anything heavier like 85/88gr with the 26” barrel? Or just stick to 75’s and keep it simple

    Got my 223 kit today. Waiting for some 80gr ELD’s then I’ll take it out for some testing. 223, 308, 338L so far and a 28” 30-06 PVA prefit on the way.

    I bought it (very lightly) used, few hundred rounds on it. I’m up in Canada and ordering a new kit from SAC is a pain in a** and there’s one distributor who sells them up here and they price them quite high. And they only offer 18-22” barrels, wanted a longer one. Took some patience to wait for...

    Finally snagged a SAC 223 kit with a 26” 7.7 twist Bartlien for my M2. Should show up next week, can’t wait to have a 223 in the rotation again.

    Has anyone had any luck with trigger mods to the newer A2/M2 trigger to get rid of creep and lower the weight a bit? My M2 has an inconsistent amount of creep. It's always there, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Once it finally gets through the creep it breaks crisp. I feel like this trigger...

    Finally got my 7PRC together

    I used to have ATACR’s too… not anymore. Next purchase will be the 5-42

    Another option for a great crossover scope is the March FX Highpower 4.5-28x52. It has a massive FOV compared to most so 4.5 power has been plenty low for close in stuff for me and having 28 on the high end is great for long shots, and it’s light enough to not be a boat anchor. I’ve been using...

    Thanks! I’ve had great success with other DT barrels so I figured this would be no different.

    What are the chamber dimensions like on the factory DT barrels? Just picked up a factory barrel for a screaming deal and it’ll be my first 338. Have a bunch of Lapua brass and plan on using 300gr scenars.

    I agree with you in theory. Not looking for light with this setup, just looking for a steel smasher that has some more weight out front. I would go even longer than 24” but there is a used barrel already made with only 20 rounds on for a decent price.

    Interesting info. I was just about to buy a 1.250” 24” 6mm creed barrel for my M2 but this has me cautiously rethinking that. I know @Dogtown uses some 1.250 barrels in his M2. @Dogtown have you had any issues like this with yours?

    That is the perfect design, imo. Seems way better thought out than the ABR.

    Well that’s a damn shame, and makes me nervous for buying custom barrels for my new M2 that I paid half a kidney for.

    30-06 Recommendations

    Bergara Ridge 30-06, 24” threaded barrel, good trigger, 7.7lbs

    Precision 30-06 builds

    Very nice! I’m surprised to hear that it dropped off at only 1800 rounds, figured the 30-06 would be good for at least double that. Mind if I ask what your load is?

    March FX 4.5-28x52 FFP High Master

    I put one on my SRS-M2 and I’ve been loving it so far. As mentioned earlier, the field of view is the best part, didn’t know what I was missing until now. The only issue I’ve run into is how low profile the turrets are. Running my ARC mount, the top of the rings are so thick that I have to lift...

    Thanks, it’s a ShadowTech ss loophole sling.

    I hunted the foothills quite a bit with my AX, never took it on an actual mountain hunt, but a lot a miles and a lot of vertical at times. First trip sucked but it motivated me to drop some gut fat and hit the weights. Take the AI and go make some memories!

    My guess is yes since every long action cartridge has always fed better for me.
