He shot it - I believe he was using the camera on the phone to spot hits on target while doing some ELR shooting and one of th bullets went through the phone. Phone still worked

looking at the posted video, the reflection is very stark.
yes, but I can see use cases where that may not always be the conditions, and reflected moonlight if present is just as bad as reflected daylight, sometimes worse.
just making observations based on the currently presented marketing information, maybe there are additional kit items designed to handle that problem that are not shown, but it wouldn’t be the first time something like that has been discounted or overlooked in product design.
my favorite example of poor design assumptions or overlooked issues is the battery cases for the DRS SPRTN-E, which on paper look fine but the chosen material is absolutely awful to machine to tolerance.
In that FLIR video, the refresh rate and resolution is soooo good, you can see the bullets travel downrange like friggin tracers!
Foxtrot Mike has some 1 piece barrels that are freakin cool. The whole thing including gas block and muzzle device is all one machined piece. There's a few vids on ytube.
No. It’s void of the original J Allen collet system.

No. Up until now, JAE had a collet in the area I circled. You could adjust it back and forth to adjust the fitment of the mag.
Mirrored surfaces can also have anti-reflective coatings. They are not mutually exclusive.
Around $85k per unit
I guess that means we've all gotta go be poor somewhere else.
Mexican cartel version on rigid pintle mount you know for that 200Y shot that combo is capable of , when you need to hole some armor

At about 53sec you can see it bouncing all over while on a M249 (I think) while the daylight scope is rock solid. I’m not familiar with these devices, but for $85k you’d think they’d get the mount a little more solid?
I guess there’s a chance that that it isn’t the thermal’s mount that is a problem, but it’s what it’s attached to is the thing that is bouncing? But it sure looks like the mount is the problem.
This is why you need a SOLID co-planar rail ...
(Take a closer look...complete failure of multi-part rail system)

Bingo!!! Lol that is…bad…and amazing it made it into a promo vid that cost a LOT to produce. Doesn’t help the street cred as I would hope FLIR has people sign off on videos.This is why you need a SOLID co-planar rail ...

One of the best things I saw and one of the few things I ever seen and was I want that from shotshow was SAC Press.
SAC Press- I know people argued eailer but I think it's an awesome design and I plan on ordering one some day I'm poor but one day. I can't seem to get rid of single stage haha

Agreed. I really like it too. Mark spent a lot of time with me discussing it.
It takes up a lot less bench space than it seems in photos. It's a work of art, and solid as a rock.
Do you have to have the tube underneath? I think the built in camover is smart and not relying on doe and shell holder contact. I gotta find some money and fast haha
700 LA and Tikka C4 available this year. Main changes for Xray and Bravo is around the magwell area. More material for barricade stop purposes and molded in inserts for quiver.

Thanks
I'm not sure, as I didn't ask. But I doubt it's a permanent fixture, with how modular this thing is.
Primer drop tube optional. 2 minute 33 seconds in.
Primers drop straight down. If you don't use the tube, you'll either have to have a hole drilled and a trash can under, or you'll need to add a base that has a catch tray. I think they are working on a base or working with a company on a base.
It would most likely fall into a draw so not terrible then. I'm sure inline will have a stand for it so that would work too.
Bah! Looks like the only CTR mag model is still the Bravo.
So If you want a full Tikka CTR W3, you have to first by that CTR Bravo, then navigate to their TRG Sako area and buy the W3 rear folder (why it isn’t listed in the regular accessories area is beyond me).
TRG Folding Buttstock – Kinetic Research Group
kineticresearchgroup.com This is what KRG told me way before Shot Show btw.
However, I kinda want the C4 rear. Arruugh.
Here's a short that gives a good idea to the size of the press:
The size seems great good platform that will sit flat.
I just brought price up for comparison. I'm a huge krg fan I love my whiskey 3 gen 6 nothing out there for me to leave that chassis and my setup.
Yeah, I can’t quite figure the extra price out either. Where did the dollars go? Except for the adjustable bag rider.
That last bit is what interests me.
What dont you like about the Elite?
MDT for sure is a 2 piece design. MPA Matrix Pro I think is also a 2 piece. Stock detaches from the main back bone. For MDT ACC, add the cost of the bridge pieces on top of the chassis cost. Add the cost of a longer bridge for the MPA Matrix Pro.
Similarly equipped will be similarly priced (not including the generous discounts MDT offers during Black Friday, and I think MPA also offers discounts).
I don't know how many people trust Dead Air after the whole lack of communications thing and prolonged warranty repair time during the Sierra debacle.
That’s the best picture I have seen so far. Now I know I have made a sound decision. Thanks .
It's 39% cheaper than a Zero, it can't be any good.
Holy shit... It'd be cheaper for Canadians to just fly into the US and buy at a big box store like Bass Pro or Cabelas.
Quite a few things. But again, its personal. Foreend shape, still flexible, no mlok right by front of receiver because of the weirdo square and screw holes, cant use other grips (i do NOT like that mdt grip, dont know many people that do), butt adjustment system, and cheek system also, the foreend cover is ass (yours is WAY better), the stupid bar rider bar thing seems like an after though, doesnt balance well unless you use a honkin big long barrel,...
I DO like the hidden mlok for thumb rest, and how they slotted the trigger guard, and put a griptape thing above trigger hole.
