Update 4-18-2024 Guess what’s here…. It’s the PurePrecison SKLTN in 350 Legend. I spent some time this evening fitting the XTSP trigger into it. Tomorrow I’ll break out the bore scope and take a look down the tube as well as try to get some nicer photos with some natural light. Sure looks good...

It's not in my initial lineup of ammo and bullets to take a look at but I may add it at some point. I may also take a look at the cutting edge 350 bullets later as well.

Update 4-7-2024 The XTSP MOD 22 trigger arrived this week and I have been running it through the “lab” type tests for break weight consistency, min pull weight, and such in the Kelbly Atlas Tactical action before the PurePrecision 350 Legend rifle it will eventually go in arrives. This is for...

Update 3-22-2024 The Barnes Vor-TX ammo and TSX bullets are here. Barnes 350 Legend offerings. 170gr Loaded Vor-TX ammunition and 170gr TSX bullets The PurePrecision rifle was also assembled test fired yesterday. It should be on it’s way soon. It will be fun to get started at the range with...

Update 3-21-2024 The Hawkins hunter bottom metal came for the 350L build. As I expected the machining is excellent and it looks great with their flush fit magazine. It’s off to the PurePrecison guys for the final assembly and testing now. Shouldn’t be long. Hawkins AICS/ M5 Hunter DBM and...

So.... In our talk with Philip from Vectronix he was very excited about the chicken icon idea. As I'm sure you read, it pops up when the rangefinder decides it needs to have it's compass calibrated. The idea is that calibrating the binos compass looks like doing the chicken dance. Philip really...

The range extenders slightly improve the LRF sensitivity. I did not ask Philip why this was, but that is what he said. I assumed they just have a slightly larger lens but I haven't checked that.

The correct number on the pro 32's is 1.2x.5 mil. I questioned Hamilton about this back when I reviewed the Pro 32's. From Hamilton (2 weeks ago but my e-mail has been a bit swirly since a recent update and the e-mail got buried and never showed up as unread): "Pro 42s and Pro AB+ have a...

Update 2024 2 29 Happy Safran Vectronix Vector X release date. This is that big product announcement I have been teasing. Safran is a large military / aerospace company best known in precision rifle circles for it’s military electro-optics products marketed under the trade name Vectronix...

The spec sheet I posted has preliminary stamped across it so presumably there is some stuff on it that may be non-final or at least not double checked. To further muddy the water, my notes from my conversation with on the subject with Philip say the 1.5x.1 is on the 8x and 10x with the 1.8x.11...

Happy vector x embargo date. I have some more information about these to share as well as their preliminary spec sheets. Frank and I have been in contact with @Philip_at_Vectronix about this product and I will be doing a review of it later this year along the lines of the Leica Geovid pro and...

Update 2-28-2024 The article on level use in precision rifle is now live. This sort of ended up being three articles that I have divided them up as such into three clearly delineated “parts.” I went back and forth about actually dividing it into three articles but ended up thinking this middle...

Update 2-26-2024 Despite the initial 6 week shipping estimate when I ordered it, the Garmin Xero C1 chrono arrived last week. I guess I haven’t even mentioned it yet. There are a few products that I will be reviewing that I haven’t put in this thread. This Garmin is one of them and there is...

Update 2-12-2024 Wednesday Frank and I got caught up on my past optics reviews with an EveryDaySniper podcast on ~$2k and above rifle scopes. This included both the scopes in the ~$2k series and the couple of Alpha reviews I have done over the years. This podcast includes a very brief...

I pinged Hamilton at Leica about the beam divergence specs in the Geovid pro AB+. Given it's the weekend, I don't think we will probably get an answer until next week. My suspicion is that it's probably the same laser as the existing Geovid pro units but that is purely a guess.

Just ordered a C1. I just could not stomach the idea of trying to drag out the old 35P for all the shooting I have planned for this year. I expect I'll write up something on it with my experiences this year. It honestly looks like the first "does what you want it to easily" chrono I have seen.

Atlas CAL's are a great option for high quality simple bipod. I probably use mine more than any other bipod. Those pic / arca clams are also nice as you can use the same bipod for multiple rifles in different configurations that way. My motto is never buy the same bipod twice. That way every new...

Update 1-31-2024 Tuesday Frank and I did an EverDaySniper podcast with Frank on sub $1k scopes. In this podcast we talked about sub $1k scopes in general, a little about how to pick the right scope for you, and I gave a short summary of each of the sub $1k scopes I have reviewed in the past few...

I just checked, the wind meter in the review unit I got from Sig is WFANO-01 as well. Pretty interesting that you can change the wireless range setting if you pair it with a WeatherFlow app. That should be of great help to people in maintaining a stable connection to the wind meter. I had never...

I don't see any prime on press on this thing. Is that the case or does it have some priming mechanism that I am not seeing?
