Current Surgeon vs AI Action

Long Range 338

So not sure then what would technically
cause the Surgeon to not be able to handle these conditions you mentioned like AI - know lots of Surgeons used in the Military (RACS CSR for example) so imagine they have seen some extreme conditions

Was the Surgeon designed and tested to the same standards? If it was then it should be on equal footing. Are you talking about purchasing a mil spec rifle or building a custom? Not necessarily the same thing.

For normal cleaning I prefer Butch's Bore Shine.
For cabon removal I prefer Bore Tech carbon remover to KG1.

I also like using Wipe-Out foaming bore cleaner if I have time.
I run 2 patches of Wipe-Out accelerator through the bore before filling it with foam and by the next morning it just needs a couple of dry patches.

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

Has anyone else’s action developed this marking? Looks like where the bolt face interacts with the lugs as it guides it into the correct location. In conversation with ARC this may be something that occurs just due to there being no guide rails for the bolt body. Just curious if anyone else’s action exhibits this or just mine due to how I handle the bolt or something like that.

Of Note: I am in talked with ARC. They are very responsive have stated it’s not a deftly concern or anything of the sorts.

I have not had much copper if any come out of the barrel during cleanings. The patches are coming out black, and surprisingly it never looks excessive to me. The bore comes out clean after just a couple wet patches, quick brush with nylon and a couple follow up patches.I am comparing that to my factory hunting rifles that i clean every 150ish rounds, they seem to require a lot more effort to clean than this barrel does.

I use Hoppes #9 for bore cleaning since that is what Weatherby recommends for my factory rifles, is it possible this new barrel is a different material that Hoppes #9 is less effective on?

Federal does it again 😅

I think the barrel length thing was an interesting marketing choice. This is just a "super magnum" with another 20K PSI being delivered, allegedly safely, at a high cost per round, and more expensive/challenging to reload. That is still a pretty interesting proposition, and I'll be excited to see this shrunk down. I'd love to be able to push a bonded, high BC, 80+ grain .224, .244, or .25 caliber projectile at 3500 FPS +, while still having okay barrel life, and a short action. I have been reading articles that say "no recoil!", but I'm skeptical. Energy is energy.

This feels like a great North American and African big game cartridge.

Thank you sir, the rifle isn’t bad for a CMP purchase!

I've got several of the Japan made Tasco's and they seem to be pretty good scopes. One is a 36X that I mounted on one of my Winchester 52D's that works just fine. Also have a couple of Tasco 24X made-in-Japan Tasco's

Just as in a few minutes ago came over to my buddies house who has a fat max or knock off of low torque range torque wrench, took the actions screws out to make sure they’re to spec (5NM - 44.25 inch/lb) and well I think that was at least A problem because they were so lose I don’t know how they weren’t walking out.

So got some more hand loads (178gr ELD-M over 40gr of Varget a very mild load), - few left over 175gr FGMM, and my buddy bought some M118 so I’ll try that too.

Cleaned the copper out of the barrel since last time as well. So I’ll update later today how it groups.

We are eagerly waiting🍿.
I'm still disappointed that the rifle didn't get to Mike R.

Ever notice that you always hear women bitching about sex with men, but you never hear gay dudes doing it? Obviously women are the problem not dudes.

Name one time you’ve heard anyone on this list bitch about their sexual relations with men.

Accessories KMW Sentinel w/ IMB, Henderson Rail

P
$850 shipped
PP f&f , MO or check would work best for me.

Right handed KMW Sentinel with the Integrated Mounting Block for a short action R700 footprint, KMW bottom metal, Henderson rail, the shorter picatinny rail, and a couple extra LOP spacers.

I bought this used and the previous owner had the IMB machined for trigger clearance. I used it with an ARC archimedes and it was fantastic. The overinsertion tabs on the bottom metal allowed me to cycle the bolt with the magazine resting on a bag.

Selling it because I had to switch to left handed rifles due to an eye injury.

ETA: there are a couple of chips in the molded in finish on the right side of the forend. See last image.

I weighed it with Henderson rail and bottom metal installed: 4.95lb

Accessories Magneto Speed V2 Cheap

NHPiper
Used V2 I have been running for a few years. A few things to call out.

1) I don't have any of the small screws used to add the spacers and lock them down. I just added the spacers and ratcheted the tie down without issue.

2) The strap for the tie down to a barrel (or suppressor) is missing a metal bar that made it easier to tighten. It broke a few years ago, however, the strap still works fine without it. I just pinch the strap against my suppressor and tighten it down.

3) Last time I used this I got some funky readings when the humidity and cold were present. The SD was consistent, but my velocity swung by 100fps. It was a day when the air temp and humidity changed massively and the strings were shot before and after the change. I had never seen that happen.

Given all of this and the fact it's well used, if someone wants it for $75 shipped it is all yours. It has served me well from 22LR to 300 PRC.
