    Anyone shooting 260Rem in 2022?

    I’ve got a Gradous AI AT prefit in 260 Rem I plan to take out this week. Haven’t shot it much over the last few years. Only 100 rounds on it

    Oh man lol. Thanks!

    AutoTrickler V4

    That’s what I do, but to run the tubes to empty them I’m playing with the desired charge weights and hitting +1 continually to keep the tubes spinning as they approach the target weight until empty.

    AutoTrickler V4

    Yeah the clean up is the hardest part. I just keep playing with the target weights to get everything out. Would be nice if it could be programmed in so both tubes can run to empty the system once the dispenser is closed off and everything dumped out the back.

    02810 S/N is where the switch was made in the short action origin.

    Night Vision Burris thermals

    ILya, Have you spent time behind the Leica Calonox View? I have the BTS35, which was a bit of a compromise for me as I wanted lower mag and a larger field of view to be used as either a handheld or as a scope, so I chose it over the BTS50. But the Leica Calonox view has intrigued me and I’m...

    AI AX or wait and SR

    Ahhh, I see, the problem was my reading comprehension lol. I was thinking AXMC not AX then wondering why the AXSR was recommended over the AXMC for magnums.

    AI AX or wait and SR

    Because of the factory SFP of the AXSR?

    AI AT or wait for AT-X

    If a guy is gonna go AT with plans to swap out the AT butt stock to the AX stock then I’d definitely consider a fixed stock AT if the savings are there. You’d have to debond the hinge anyway on a folder for the swap so if you could get a fixed stock version for cheaper then why not.

    Night Vision Yep…another “what thermal scanner” for a newbie.

    How important is the FOV on a handheld scanner? At what point would you drop down in lens diameter and magnification to gain some FOV?

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    Also, I used Manson go and no go gauges. The barrel I got back from Benchmark the second time screwed into my action about 90 degrees too far. I sent it back to them and they found it was fine on the one action, but the same as mine on their test action. That being said their customer service...

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    What does the different part number argument have to do with it? Why would there be a different part number? That would imply AI designed and knowingly put out rifles with different specs. I’m just saying there are tolerance issues on some rifles. They’re not perfect. I’ve had 2 AT308s and 2...

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    Yeah I wouldn’t expect AI to produce barrels with any differences. But the same can’t be said for all their actions, which I learned the hard way. And I’m sure it’s extremely uncommon, but it does happen. I don’t know the differences in serial or dates between the rifles they had there at the...

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    There are some differences between AI actions as well. I’ve experienced it myself with my AXMC. I had a prefit barrel that was tested on a well known barrel manufacturers test action and then shipped out to me. It headspace perfectly on my rifle. I ordered another barrel from them and they...

    New Barrel Throat Finish, Rifling damage- is this Normal?

    Your comparator measurement doesn’t really mean anything to anyone but you. Too much variation between comparators. I use two of the same brand and caliber and they both provide different readings. How much of the bullet’s bearing surface is in the neck?

    AutoTrickler V4

    What a pleasant surprise. I forgot I even signed up. Started reading all the dates you guys were listing thinking I was August but went back to my email to check. “You are receiving this email because you have a reservation for V4. Yours was placed between March 12 1:58pm and 3:07pm Atlantic.”...

    Bighorn Origin or TL3

    Your assumption is correct. I meant the material not the finish.
