    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    1-Look at the Artcise CS90C & CS80C. The weight difference there is closer to 1lb if I remember correctly. Still the 90 is much larger and doesn't pack as well. @Hummerdawg comment above is spot on for use. If you want to pack it get the 80. 2-The two tripods above are not bowl apex and much...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    The IB-40 isn't really an inverted head. The IB-30 (which I have is) is. It is OK but NOT Anvil level of quality/stability. I have it on a Leofoto LS-323C, which I really like for my use. The 3 vs 4 legs is quite a bit faster to deploy and more stable than the 4. The head however leaves a bit to...

    Bartlein Carbon Wrapped Barrels

    #13 (Sendero contour) is correct, NOT #3. #4 Bull Sporter and #13 Rem. Varmint/Sendero are the only "sporter" contour carbon fiber wrapped. I have a #4 that is very nice but it's not a small profile sporter contour.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    It's not as smooth as my Defiance but I think that is the level of post machine finishing, not the fundamental design. I suspect the CDG would rival if not surpass the Defiance if it were surface finished to that level. You pay dearly for that polish with the Deviance though. Look back at some...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Keymod "failed" the military's tests where MLOK did not. Everything is headed that way and Keymod is on the way out even if certain companies would like it to be different. The test @Evintos linked in the next post.👇

    I'd be totally in for one as well. I'm planning on a Xylo for my CDG. A folder would be sooo much better....

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    My order finally showed up in my account. Same as many, charge hit my card, crash, crash, crash.... no email and not in my account. I emailed ~9:45 MST that it hadn't shown up but was charged. I checked a few minutes ago and it's there in my account online. Still no confirmation email or direct...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    I read somewhere (I think it was Ted that posted it) the trigger problems were specific to super light (sub 1lb) single stage TriggerTech Diamond and a Bix n Andy similar model. I have a Diamond two stage so should be good to try out the pivoting model. I'm in for one with the Victorian Hooker...

    80,000 PSI capable actions for Sig Fury

    Forged grain structure aligns with the net shape of the part making it stronger. Cold or hot rolled bar is ish forged I guess but not to the final shape. Defiance parts are "billet". The way they are machined makes heat treat distortion non-existant. They don't have the benefits of a forged...

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    A couple of thoughts/things to consider. You probably have noticed many here have gotten pretty defensive. Frank is an invaluable resource and is generous with his time here so we don't want that getting messed up. 99% of the time an issue w/a Bartlein is going to be someone after the fact...

    This, how is a powder changeout? Both how easy and what are the chances of leaving a kernel between changeout. Any nooks and crannies? Also, got an update this morning and they are shipping ~40 units a week currently. Hopefully that will increase as they streamline the process otherwise I might...

    Regarding 419, this is the pertinent part of what they posted back in January about the dissolution of that relationship. Both parties seem complimentary of each other. Just wasn't the right fit. They are assembled and shipping out of Denmark. The one of the designers is in Denmark and the...

    This is the procedure for your pre-order. Email confirming address 2 weeks begore ship. You'll need to make final payment a few days before it ships so you are at least 2 weeks out. I pre-paid and am order #569 so right there with you guys.

    super trickler

    It's competition in that it delivers a preset charge automatically. But then so does the Hornady Auto Charge, RCBS Chargemaster, etc. It does use the same lab grade scale so that makes it one step closer to the AutoTrickler. By everything I have seen so far it will do it more accurately, faster...
