    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Glad to hear your plus 1” is running. I’m running Odin’ rifle plus 2 and I can firmly state it’s a nightmare with a carbine buffer system. The first block they sent me was leaking like a sieve. I switched to a Aero fixed block and immediately got lock back with 108 ELDMs but with 87g vmax it...

    Zero'd my new BMP what should I expect?

    Not dumb luck at all. Hand lapped barrels don’t need any real break in to speak of. Bergara has the production barrel making game down pat. Find something it likes and shoot the snot out of it.

    Zero'd my new BMP what should I expect?

    Dont start getting disappointed with 1” groups this early. Don’t know if this is your first time dabbling with a “precision rifle”. But you may be looking at an accurate picture of what you and your gun are capable of with the 1” group. And that’s just fine. The reality is that true .5 MOA...

    Athlon Warranty/exchange question.

    And that certainly makes things easier! I’ll give y’all a shout today. Anyone wonder why I shop with Camera Land?

    Athlon Warranty/exchange question.

    So I have an Athlon Argos BTR gen 2 I picked up as a knock around scope for my 22. I’ve since built a nice little 6ARC and moved it over to that platform. I got home from the range weekend and noticed an oil drop on an internal lens near the center of the reticle. Obviously it’s headed back...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Holy hell. I just grabbed 3 boxes off the shelf locally from the stock of around 30 boxes the shop had and at $30 I thought I was getting bent over. $55? Someone might be desperate

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I’m a one round wonder. I can load a straight shooting 6Creed! If my pop taught me anything, a job worth doing is one worth doing right.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I’m obviously looking for that wide node and the 27.4 seems to be right there albeit slow. The loads .2g above and below landed in the exact same spot. If it’s printing small groups from the outset and also in a node then so much the better. I’ll redo the faster charge of 29.4 loaded up and...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    First ladder with LeverEvolution under 108 ELDMs in once fired Hornady brass. 18” Odin barrel. 3 shots each. Im hoping the 3rd charge of 27.8 wasn’t a fluke with 1 hole. Only 2425fps but I only shoot to 600 here in south LA so I don’t need the speed.SD was only 13 so not great but worth a...

    6mm ARC Short stroking

    Just got back from the range and problem solved. I yanked the Odin gas block and found I was getting a ton of leakage around the tube and barrel both. The block was a really loose fit. I grabbed a new Aero fixed block I had in the parts bin and the fit was much tighter on both barrel and tube. I...

    6mm ARC Short stroking

    I’ve thought of this and I’ll experiment today but typically with bolt bounce I’m assuming a round would still be stripped.

    6mm ARC Short stroking

    It’s listed on other sites as rifle plus 2. Odin doesn’t list the length other than rifle XL. Glad I’m not going crazy. Everyone wants to blame gas but that’s just not the deal here. You would thing Odin would make a recommendation for this kind of setup on their webpage.

    6mm ARC Short stroking

    I just built a 6mm ARC gas gun around an OdinWorks 18” barrel. It uses a rifle plus 2” gas system. This is built on an Aero Upper/Lower with Aero BCG. Carbine 3oz buffer and carbine spring. Gun is short stroking with the gas block fully open. Failure to strip a second round and failure to lock...

    LOP / Trigger distance Question

    I firmly believe length of pull is less important in bolt guns than grip fitment. We set these things up with the old crook of the arm and 90deg finger method but if the grip doesn’t fit your hand all that goes out the window. I would hope to see more companies come out with adjustable grips. I...

    Bergara b14 hmr pro

    The B14 and the HMR Pro are two different rifles. The HMR Pro is built on the Premier series action among other upgrades like stainless , Triggertech Primary trigger. The B14 is their basic action and stock trigger with carbon steel barrel.

    Time for a new barrel??

    Cleaning regimens are caliber/barrel dependent. A .308 might go 2000 rounds without needing cleaning. But I’ll give you an example of where listening to the “don’t clean till accuracy drops” crowd got me in a jam. i shoot 6mm creed. I barely cleaned the gun over the first 400 rounds. At 400 I...

    Parallax / Focus Disconnect on Athlon Ares

    After a bit of digging this is apparently not as uncommon as I thought it would have been. I did see a good post about getting in focus first and then adjusting the diopter. Solved the issue for one gentleman though the whole thing seems a bit off base to me. It’s worth a try.

    Parallax / Focus Disconnect on Athlon Ares

    So first I’ll admit I have limited experience using optics with parallax adjustment. This is my first year shooting with them. I’ve also never shot with any upper tier scopes. So my experience is limited to two scopes. With that being said I have an observation and I’m wondering if it’s a...

    Bore guide necessary with Otis?

    It’s not so much the bristles but the wire they are bound with that sticks out the front of the brush. Repeatedly jamming that into the lands with no guide can possibly affect the throat. Though most are bound with aluminum which is substantially softer. I’ll stick with a bore guide myself. Too...
