New Zermatt Lapua action

@Zermatt Arms , any word on availability of the Lapua action? And, will the new bolt head design be carried over to other models? Are the lug abutments also toroidal? Or, do the toroidal lugs rest/compress against a flat lug abutment? Except for Mausingfields, there just isn’t much discussion about toroidal lugs but I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

How Relevant is the Nightforce NX8 4-32?

It has never been relevant compared to the classic Jap glass tier of XTR3, Cronos, Raz G2. The glass is not even close, and it costs more than those. It definitely can't be compared to the G3/S3/Theos, as they are another higher tier all together. I would put it up against the best Chinese glass at this point, like Ares ETR, DNT, etc., which are of course a fraction of the NF price.
Really?? You put the G2 Razor & Burrises above the NX8?

Which thing made the biggest difference?

Consistency in my processes equals consistency on the range for me.

There is no "ah-ha!" moment for me, but I have tried simplifying certain parts of how I reload over the years...and some have yielded horrible results, so I just went back to what worked.

I will say that annealing first has improved my brass uniformity much more than I would gave thought. I just started that last year.

And all of this is moot if you can't shoot well enough to consistently see the difference.

Accuracy International Picture Thread

March 1.5-15?
Yeah that is an option, I was keen on a DFP model but the mixed reviews put me off.

I'm going to use the LRTS for a bit (with the 308 barrel) but might end up with an LPVO for hunting use.
I haven't even shot it yet, so will starting shooting before I worry to much about scopes.

That's if the rifle sees much hunting, it weights 14.5lb as pictured...

This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

This is probably the best case of not being able to have a single ounce of sympathy for that whole bunch, and what happened to them. The owner of that whole operation, was nothing but a smug, arrogant, self righteous prick.

The supposed "oceanographer" who went along, also knew James Cameron, who is considered to be an expert on these things. And who went to the bottom of the Marianas Trench in a sub he designed and built.

He was very vocal and critical of this POS, and told most everyone in the deep diving submersible community it was very DANGEROUS and UNSAFE the way it was constructed. And it should not be allowed to carry passengers.

About the only one I can and do feel sorry for, was the Indian kid of the wealthy father, who pushed him to go along. People said he was very scared. And only agreed to go along in order to please his arrogant, dipshit father who was pushing him.
