Probably what I should have done honestly. I keep kicking around just cancelling and ordering an osprey. Its not like the C6 is a savings.

Appreciate the info. I placed my chassis, wrench, and brake order with ARC yesterday. If they are willing to take the brake off the order, I’ll just go stainless And order a 419 brake somewhere else. Once that is sorted, I’ll place an order with y’all for a barrel. Might as well set aside another 6.5 in 26”.
Remove the 419 brake and order a PVA Jet 4. Thank me later..
So I orered my CDG action wrench about a month after I pre-ordered the action. Does anyone know if ill have to wait the +4months for my action wrench or will it be sent around the same time the action is shipped?
My understanding is that they'll bundle all the parts and ship together once your action is ready.
when they did the nucleus (or Arch) they shipped it together
Definitely considering....whats your price and lead time on a 20" carbon osprey?
I couldn't help myself. My excitement is absolutely uncontrollable.
These count as railweights right?

It seems as if something is missing…you can’t quite put your finger in it…because it’s missing.
Don't remind meIt seems as if something is missing…you can’t quite put your finger in it…because it’s missing.
only missing 2 things now. Action and barrel. Hopefully those PVA barrels ship soon.Got my barrel from PVA on Saturday, 22" 6.5CM. Of course, I only live an hour or so away from them.

I've been resisting the urge to order a Xylo. You're not helping the situation!
did you specify them to send you that color wood grip? i wanna get an xylo chassis by the pictures show it with the darker wood
Why resist? It’s an awesome chassis.
I like the chassis a lot. I have 2
Wood stain helps it. I used ebony stain and it turned out great.

I wanted the larger grip put on and ARC said they had one that was uncoated. So I opted for that. I put bees wax on it and it has darkened up after that.
Get one! I'm super happy with my purchase and I haven't even Built the rifle yet.
Do MDT Chassis leave room for trigger hanger like that on the Coup De Grace?
I know the new acc elite accommodates an impact. As does XLR, and krg C4.
I have a HNT26 I bought for this action. I emailed mdt and according to them, the chassis accommodates most actions with trigger hangers but they haven’t tested this specific action.

who the fuck does an 8.5 for a 6.5CM?@bohem,
Can you comment on the twist rate for 6.5 CM for your prefits? Most commonly I see 8.5, sometimes 8.0. More rarely, 7.5. But your configurator lists 7.0 as the only option. Is that because the others are not available, or because you don’t use/recommend them?
Thanks.
8 is most common then 7.5 gaining popularity for the 153.5 and 156gr bullets (and more better for 140/144 anyways)

7.5 is our standard 65 blank, 7 is the fast twist option that is in stock. The 7.5 blanks are all currently in honing step… you guys cleaned us out for probably another 4 weeks
That’s certainly one way to put it…
You are correct on the twist rates used. We don’t make an 8 because the 7.5 does everything long range related at least a little better
So what cartridge is up next on the machines???7.5 is our standard 65 blank, 7 is the fast twist option that is in stock. The 7.5 blanks are all currently in honing step… you guys cleaned us out for probably another 4 weeks

Fingers crossed it's 6GT! Probably something that's a bit more popular though. Like 6CM...So what cartridge is up next on the machines???
Well shite, guess I sat on my tush too long. Now I get to research 7 vs 7.5, or consider my unfavorable options.
6CM then 6x47 and 6GT because the 6x47 rougher works for GT as well.
7.5 is better than 8 all day long if you’re shooting 130’s or heavier and it doesn’t lose anything to 120 class. I don’t care about applicability to lighter than 120’s because our client base doesn’t shoot them.
The 7tw has been indistinguishable from the 7 in short and long range repeatability, the Creed just doesn’t have enough ass to make problems due to twist rate. Kinda like worrying about making a 308 in a 9tw vs 10tw… it doesn’t matter.
“Never heard of it.” - Hornadyunless you shoot 147 ELDM
I’m guessing there’s a nominal impact to fps with a higher twist rate as you impart more angular momentum (energy) with faster twist rates. Is it measurable and meaningful?
I think Litz did an article on this within the last few months, and it was measurable but not very meaningful.
It’s in one of his books, I think it amounted to 5fps going from a 12 twist to an 8 twist, so an inch higher twist would be 1.3fps or so
147? Never heard of her… she sounds like she has “a great personality”unless you shoot 147 ELDM
She's great...until she blows up at you for no good reason. Wait...were we talking bullets?

what is the best way to contact you in regards to a barrel build? email or phone? I see you can't PM you here. Thanks and look forward to talking to you
Unless you want something way out of the ordinary, just go to the website. I don't know that I've ever had reason to call, but everything I've ordered from them has been run of the mill stuff.
Prefit Barrels with Osprey blanks
patriotvalleyarms.com just wanted to get his opinions on different calibers and best options in regards to barrel choice for my build... This is my second build ever and the previous one was off of a Bighorn TL3 with a proof barrel. Also, about fluting and cerakoting potentially.Unless you want something way out of the ordinary, just go to the website.

Prefit Barrels with Osprey blanks
I'm thinking of doing a 28" competition or hvy varmint 7.5tw 6.5cm cuz who doesn't need another match rifle?! My 25cm archimedes 28" 7.5tw shoots the 135 Berger really well at 2860 and 2950. And a 153 at 2700-2750 doesn't beat it at anything but probably barrel life. 7saw has me tempted as well but that doesn't beat the 25 at anything either. I have a pair of 6gts already, 1 tactical other hunting. I have a pair of CDGs coming, and the plan is to burn out my 6gt/25cm archimedes setup, and have replacement barrels spun on these 2 CDGs. Already have the barrels for that in hand. Good problem to have I guess.
