    PVA John Hancock Rifle Status

    I'm in the same boat here (well, except I don't have a rifle). A couple of friends have shot some PRS rounds and I wanted to join in. I've got a 308 AR that I could shoot, but after doing a lot of research (analysis paralysis) last year around Thanksgiving they have a black friday deal for free...

    PVA John Hancock Rifle Status

    It's disappointing. I had hoped to do a PRS shoot or two with some friends so had thought the JH would be a good way to get started in the sport and in the production class. I"m coming up on a year from when I ordered (when they had them advertised during black Friday) and it sounded like they...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    I checked a few before I called- ARC looks like they are shipping Nucleus actions (from what I can gather on their website, says right hand actions in stock and ready to ship, sorry lefties (3-4 months)). KGR has bravos ready to ship. Timney seems to have triggers in stock (haven't really heard...

    6.5cm powder.

    just getting into reloading 6.5CM as well. I had planned on H4350 to start with but have been hearing a lot about RL16. I know RL17 is out because of the temp swings but hadn't heard much about RL16 temp sensativity. Found this nice thread here about H4350 and RL16 with some temp/velocity...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    I sent email but didn't get reply. So I called today, got the "waiting on parts from a supplier" answer. My order was from November 2018, what I thought would be a pretty standard setup (John Hancock, 6.5CM, FDE stock, RH). I knew there would be a wait for the rifle, and had hoped to get some...

    How would you attach a sling to my rifle?

    The types that would attach to the OE sling mounts, I haven't really had any issues with from a hunting standpoint. For the QR cup type (round barrel type QR with a push button) spend the extra and get a name brand QR (like Blue Force Gear that comes with the slings).

    Wholesale Gun and Gear Buying Clubs.....worth it or a gimmick?

    There is very little markup on many guns being sold these days (outside of custom rigs or limited production models). If it costs you much money to join one of these "clubs" it's not going to be worth it in the long run unless you a find exactly what you want, when you want it, and plan on...

    How would you attach a sling to my rifle?

    most people would use the attached sling attachment points on the front and rear. And google "multi cam sling" for a myriad of options. Personally I prefer Blue Force Gear/Vickers padded slings with appropriate sling swivels for your sling attachment points that are on your rifle already.

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    I sent an email earlier to this week for an update. I'll give them a call next week after the holidays and see if I can get a better ETA. Headed down to the precision rifle expo next month and had been hoping to have the rifle prior to the event. Personally I don't mind paying for the rifle in...

    Supercross? AMA? MotoGP?

    MX/outdoor nationals are done. Nice to see AC finally get a championship (and I'm sure that ProCircuit was happy to put another plate on the wall after a long draught). ET is on another level (when he's on). I can see at least one more outdoor championship in him hope he steps up his game in SX...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    I guess I had been hoping that with all the "lead time for barrels is 3-5 weeks" that you see on their social media that maybe they were getting caught up on JH rifles. I would think that they would want them out there for the public to shoot. I know they have made great strides in production...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    A little bit of my same thinking. ARC has Nucleus actions in stock, AFAIK KRG is shipping bravo stocks, and I know Rock Creek has 6.5 barrels in stock (and PVA had a bunch of them, but maybe just shorter versions?). Maybe Timney is out of triggers? I ordered two cans around the same time frame...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    I agree. Everything I have read points to the JH and anything PVA makes being a solid product. I've worked in a few industries where time lines for new products are.. shall we say.. varied. I tend to not show products at shows until I have them either in production or on the way if being made...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    anyone received a John Hancock recently? with the barrels going out fairly quickly (at least some of them from the sales) and the actions seemingly available from ARC wondering if they might be coming out sooner. Right hand nucleus actions are showing in stock, not sure if the backlog on the...

    Suppressors My next suppressor...

    as others have mentioned I doubt if it would just blow up (at least not right away) but over a little while (depending upon brand and can) it would erode the blast baffles and could blow up. basically almost all of the pistol cans will shoot 300 subs thru them but if you want to shoot supers...
