Does anyone know if that Elite Sand E-150 code the same as AI uses? I have a few barrels ready for Cerakote at the smith!
 
can they do a small test in some scrap? GCP had to custom mix to match my elite sand fwiw.
 
Thanks, I figured it was a AI color. Just may go Graphite black

From cerakotes website for the elite sand. Looks pretty close to me.

I'd be shocked if it was the color AI uses, but having your applicator buy a sample bottle is a cheap way to test it.

I can confirm that H-250 AI Dark Earth is not a direct match for the DE skins and cerakote on factory rifles.

I can concur.
 
Tom Irwin or someone at AI once said on the Hide it's proprietary color that they use. Only AI and Cerakote knows the exact color.... at least on the FDE.
 
No biggie, graphite black will be easier to sell ( if I was to flip that barrel) as it matches everything… thanks for the info.

Your right on the skins for sure. Does not match. It's very close to the metal parts though. The barrel I would say was the closest. Optic was done in H-250.

Elite Sand I've seen multiple variations of. My early ES MC rifle and early ES SR were much different then the one I had in last week. Much more flat then the shiny ES of early rifles.

All things are possible once you take off the QC sticker.

Dudes who keep their QC stickers on are the same kinda dudes that start talking to you in a checkout line about how their boyfriend has a peanut allergy.

How many guys running a 33xc on the AXSR platform?
 
Went to the range to test out my new spotting scope. Needless to say its a beast with outstanding clarity! I machined a rider for a Hide member in Europe and thought I would try that style out, so I machined one out of 6061-T651 for my AXMC, lots of contact surface and massive amount of room to lay my off hand across. Not quite as slick as the GTAC but easy to install. (Edit) added a couple of pictures with the rider properly installed, remember kids ,don't put your rifle together late at night after consuming a few adult beverages.🤪

Aw sh..t!! Is that the BTX115? I have the BTX95. I’ve been thinking of upgrading my lens to the 115 for awhile now since it’s release. Nice setup bro..

I have always been a Kowa guy, but this is a whole new level for me, I have lots of floaters in my eyes and the BTX paired with the 115mm objective almost negates them, being able to use both eyes to spot with is awesome.

I know right! Had to sell a kidney on the open market lol. I believe what makes the it so great is the extra light that objective lets in and being able to use both eyes.

I had easily been resistant that Colossus of Rhodes, that Lord Humungus, that ICBM. “Pshaw, I need not such a luxury,” thought I.

But now, you tempt me with that silvery twist of phrase, “almost negates [floaters]” and I feel my mental immunity failing, only to rebound slightly when I realize the whole unit is $6k.
