Why SOCOM bull? Is this a precision build?

Thinking of picking up a 6mm ARC barrel from XCaliber with their sale going on. Does anyone have a recommended twist rate for an 18” barrel? They offer 1:7, 1:7.7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:12, and 1:14. And grooves in 3, 3R, 5R, and 6.

Can anyone speak to the build quality / craftsmanship of the Deadline vs. Bighorn, Defiance, Impact, etc.? Comparable?

Thanks for the info. How would you compare the smoothness and effort of closing the Ultimatum action vs. a BigHorn, Defiance, Impact, etc.? And what about build quality vs. the others?

Has anyone heard when Proof’s prefits for the Ruckus will be available?

Is it possible to order a 2.0 now or no? And if yes are they shipping yet?

By all accounts this seems to be well made and the people that have them, like them. Curious why they aren't more popular? JP uses them for their MR-19 rifle. I know they often require some minor chassis modifications (shorter mag catch, trimming the rear action screw, etc.). Is that why more...

Can anyone answer this?

I have a scope mounted on one rifle where the objective of the scope is pretty close to the rail, maybe a few mm. Does anyone know, or could measure, exactly how thick the bottom (non-hinge) side of a front Tenebraex scope cap is? I.e. how much thickness does it add to the outside diameter of...

Any recommendations for scope caps that fit the 525? Would caps for the 624 work?

I guess my question is, and perhaps this is a dumb question... how do you know if you need a cantilever style mount to obtain the proper eye relief, short of buying both types of mounts and then playing with the scope position? Is there an easy way to know ahead of time before buying the mount...

I have two Kahles K16i's mounted on Spuhr SP-3026's, which are cantilever style and 1.26“ high. The cantilever style is perfect for this scope - because of its huge eye relief you have to shift it forward on the rail quite a bit. I have two Kahles K525i's on order, one to go on an AR and one...

@CSTactical, do they ship direct from Austria? Or through Swaro in Rhode Island? Just curious.

I also had a great experience with Kahles CS. I bought a K16i that had a scuff on the finish. The vendor I bought it from didn't have any more in stock so they connected me with their Kahles rep. Despite the fact he was traveling internationally, he connected me with their CS in Rhode Island and...

@CSTactical, does this mean you got some in!?

Agree with the above. Definitely worth it in this case, especially for the extra magnification for a 1000 yd rifle.

Which reticle was on the scope you looked through? Curious because the MOAK seem to be starting to appear but not the SKMRs yet.

Curious if anyone has any thoughts on the 318 vs. the upcoming 525? They're the same price (within $100), and the 525 is only 1.6 oz heavier, but 2.5“ longer. Why go for the 318 when they are the same price and almost the same weight, if you don't care about an ultrashort scope?

Kahles' newer scopes like the K525i and K624i have the option of either the SKMR or SKMR3 reticles (and others, but I am only interested in these). Curious which you all prefer and why?

Cool comparison, thanks. Is the Twist Guard on the elevation turret as well as windage? I thought it was just windage.
