    Well… they did fire the finance department…. I’m hoping we see dealers under msrp as soon as supply catches up

    “Max torque should be 50 ft/lbs.” Viper wasn’t lying. I bent the top clamp of my vise with 65. Oops.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems good. I couldn’t get the barrel tight enough at first but I was trying to protect it with garden hose wrapped around. That didn’t work. I switched to using brown sugar around the barrel to act like rosin and then torqued the nuts to 65 ft lbs and the barrel didn’t even try to...

    It wanted to bind when run imperfectly, wasn’t terribly smooth and bolt close felt like crap to me. I’ve never tried an origin, I just have no interest. Don’t think bighorns suit me. Maybe the origin is wildly better. I can push a tikka bolt sideways and it still goes straight home. Push the...

    Yep been trying to do that, enough it was twisting a little on action at first when I hit it

    I’m trying to avoid heat cycling the action, that may be dumb but I just don’t like the idea of putting a torch on it. If I have to I will. I might can find a Chester, I’m using the hammer to bump already. I think my main issue is getting the barrel tight enough right now. I may switch from...
