    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    30.6 ounces still. They could have cut more out of the darn thing. I think a LP fuzion alpine port is 28.5 ounces so a couple ounces less and seemed like a little less aggressive cut. I'd still happily accept one as a gift! Hard to pay considerably more than a tikka donor these days though.

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    Good choice sir. Bravo is a great practical shooting stock. Just trades off some benefits for being good for shooting vs good for carrying compared to a traditional sporter stock.

    Heavy Sporter Barrel in Sendero Barrel Channel

    Benchmark #4 (smaller than a bartlein #3) in a proof sendero contour inlet. Definitely no worries about barrel contact-

    Heavy Sporter Barrel in Sendero Barrel Channel

    Sporter steel barrels (not heavy sporter even) in a big assed barrel channel is kind of my default setup now. Why does it matter if there is a gap? It's funny world out there. All kinds of people buying chassis because they think they look cool. many result in large gaps in barrel channel...

    Daughters first deer rifle

    6.5 creed would make most sense of the choices in OP. 6 Creed, 243, or 6 ARC would be more better though.

    KRG Echo Chassis

    I love bravos. I’d happily trade one of my bravos for another rokstok though. Echo isn’t lighter enough to make me feel any different about it than the bravo.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    I know that the Aeromatch 140 is a 140 hybrid clone. I'm saying that the 140 BTHP that has been being used in loaded AAC 6.5 ammo and marked as a .580 G1 bc, is probably the existing hornady bthp that happens to have the same BC and not the new aeromatch bullet.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    I would agree since they are already cloning the 105 hybrid. I am a fan of 107s though. The 75g bthp isn't really .395 g1. Seems they weren't worried about correcting their existing inflated BCs when they got all serious about BCs with the intro of the ELD line. Apllied Ballistics says 0.348 G1...

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    The only question i have is are there really shortages of the SMK bullets they are cloning? I'm not particularly interested in them but I feel like ive seen them available a lot. TMKs on the other hand.. lot harder to keep in stock.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    No need to be a smartass because you were too dense to read what was laid out clearly in front of you. If you’ve ever looked at a Berger hybrid and a Hornady HPBT you would know they don’t look the same. Their profiles are obviously different. So unless Hornady is using Bergers or JLKs for there...

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    Except the 105 hybrid clone is probably an accurate bc. The bthp are not.

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    My ace 223 is really growing on me. It’s shooting 75 ELDs and cheap ADI 69 SMKs really well. Doesn’t bughole everything it touches but it shoots what I wanted it for very well.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    they say “don’t change your load, seating die, or dope”.. they are 69, 77, 168, 175 smk clones and 105 and 140 hybrid clones. Look at the gol darn BCs. They aren’t being sneaky about it, they are outright saying we’re making the same thing for cheaper and it’s going to be more available.

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    The factory tikka plastic stocks are quite rigid for what they are. Primary upgrade with the bravo is Ergos IMO. Having AICS compatibility and being highly modular are other possible benefits.

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    There’s a ton of people who thread barrels, have no fear. My factory 8 twist lite didn’t like 75 ELDs either so I had an ACE 7.5 twist in the factory lite contour spun up and now it likes 75 ELDs. Factory barrel liked 73 ELDs and a number of other bullets. It will be my most shot rifle, almost...

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    Didn't read the whole thing in detail but a tikka lite 22-250 with 8 twist (if such a thing exists for lefties) would be a great place to start. Getting a muzzle threaded is a pretty basic task. no additional trigger, bottom metal, magazine needed like a 700 custom unless of course you change...
