ARC has been pretty weak in my experience. Mine and a buddy's MBrace mounts cracked and broke right at the hinge with no major impacts. My going theory is cold temps caused it. The LRF bridge is tough as hell but the rings, not so much.

I've heard a couple reports of this, but haven't seen any pictures-- and I'd love to see some if you have them. It's fairly obvious the expected failure point of the ARC design would occur in hinge pins themselves or in the "fingers" for the hinge pins in the base or rings caps. I have yet to have any failures in my sample size (10 mounts and 1 set of rings.) Not saying the ARC design can't fail, but they appear to be failing at a far lower rate than say scalarworks where you can easily find lots of pictures of broken ring hinges. If I had one of my ARCs fail I'd switch brands again, just like I did with Spuhr, only this time I'm not waiting until I have a 45% failure rate to change brands, lol

How cold was it when you had the failures? Several of my M-brace mounts have seen lots of use and bouncing around on quads and side by sides with heavy razor gen 3s and S&B 5-25s down in the 15-30f range for a couple years now with no issues, but that's not as cold as is it gets elsewhere...

I suppose if I really wanted to torture test them I could stick them in a thermal chamber here at work... they'll go down to -321F, but that's a bit excessive, lol.

Stupid good. Very noticeable difference running it without and with the brake.

No POI shift shooting 3 “different” lots of ammo.

I can’t freely run cans like @hic28 can in CA. But everytime I slap one on

Question regarding the Hodgdon loading data. I entered 140g bullet and it gives a max load of 40.0gr. I'm using 1x fired Hornady brass for the time being as I had over 1500 pieces. Most of the load data I found was using over 41 grains, I have been using 41.2 for the last couple hundred rounds. The data Hodgdon gives seems low or am I most likely using too much powder. I'm averaging about 2805fps with a suppressor (less without) and nice grouping so pretty happy with the results. But, I'm new to reloading so lots to learn. Using H4350 and Berger 140g hybrid target.

So most reloading data from a manufacturer is going to be conservative for legal reasons.

Hodgdon's listed max 40.0gr load is also listed 59.2K PSI, or about 3K less than max SAAMI pressure (and many people will go over that by a bit and still not see pressure).

As long as you aren't seeing ejector marks, smears and otherwise damage to your brass, I think that 41.2 is fine.

Which 18650 is everyone using with these? Flat top or button top? Discharge rate, mah?

I don't run it. It's actually a guy name Tim Plowman who does. He just has a lot of my pictures and research posted on there.

As far as my vote Jeremy, I would have both.

Y’all are some gullible full blown retards helping some guy with his cuck fantasies.

“My husband and I have been away from the forum for a while so just reintroducing ourselves” How do you “reintroduce” yourself when you signed up October 2024, never posted and show back up last Tuesday?

Your skepticism is why she's meeting me and not you at the truck stop on route 7 on the 4th of July @2am.

The turret is in mils even if S&B labeled it 1 click = 1 cm @ 100M (yay base 10 units of measurement) so it will be much easier to calculate all your data in mils and not bring inches of drop into things.

As far as why you hit at 200 and didn't make it at 300 I'm thinking you didn't snug the setscrews on the turret tight enough after zeroing and the turret slipped when dialing to 300, but even then you should have only hit low and still made it onto a 36 x 36 target. Did you try dialing back down and shooting again at 200 and 100 to see if it dialed back to zero properly?

I doubt that the scope is out of elevation adjustment (doubtful even on a 0MOA rail as the 3-18 has 30.5 mils of elevation travel which should be plenty.)

I'd verify zero and resnug the elevation turret screws first, and you may want to lock the rifle down and dial a tracking test on a tall target to see if the scope is tracking properly.

I'll bet you keep a bug out bag ready. No machete though.

I believe that was a nanny part of Australia that recently banned machetes, but NZ may also have that in place.

Do you shoot suppressed, mainly?

No I exclusively run a brake now for competitions and training. Back 6-7 years ago when I ran one I don’t remember it being much different (I still didn’t clean) but I wasn’t as data focused so it’s more just anecdotal.

Not buying it. "Crime statistics" is like saying "experts have said," which means nothing.

Who's crime statistics? Based on what data pool? What were the age ranges of the "children?"

I'm an engineer, humor me. Without data, its still just bullshit.

Actually I don’t fucking care what you believe or disbelieve and am surely not wasting any time trying to convince you that the Earth isn’t flat either.

How does it shoot?

Sold!

Took a prairie dog at 169y with a Savage MKII 22 LR. First shot, clean in the side of the head with Federal blue box super sonic lead round nose.

Entered the side of the head but did not exit. Shooting prone/bipod off an old grain silo concrete pad over grown with tall grass over looking a cornfield from an elevated position. Perfect hide spot.
