My arbor for the fuel and dry sump got handled last weekend. I think that was the last part to make. Plumbing and wiring come next.

Porsche GT3-RS won in a drawing then driven off of a mountain in NV while drinking and driving.

4895 and a 105 Hybrid is an award winning combo. Keep working with it. That upper left 3/31 group is close to what you should expect. One ragged hole or smaller. Regarding the primer, I have had a few not go off over the years. Usually I could trace it to something I did (set a can of fizzing soda next to a primed tray of cases, for example). If it’s a one off, don’t stress it.

That's what I've read about the powder and bullet combo, so I thought I would give it a whirl. I'm not going to get too concerned about it until I get closer to 200 rounds down the barrel and do some load development. For those 9 groups, it averaged .64 moa, so considering that I'm happy. If I can get it to shoot consistently under .5 moa with some development, that will be just fine for my needs in PRS. The first firing pin hit on the primer looked normal, but it didn't ignite. It was definitely a surprise.

Looks like:
-tool-less zeroing turret
-no more locking turret

Now....just need dual focal reticle....

This kind of behavior will not stop until qualified immunity goes away.

I have never heard of a NF with shit build quality. I am sure there is probably some out there, but NF is a solid scope.

A little more than an 1/8" i could see being excessive. It doesn't make any sense though that your actions screws were too long of pillar bedding but your mag box is now too short.

They fed fine before pillar bedding, they both don't feed after pillar bedding. If that is the only thing that changed you already know there is something wro g there now.

Although what you have happening sounds like what happens to Remingtons running ammo that's too long without notching the feed ramp.

Nah, thanks for the offer. I'll go 150 each if you want to move forward. PM ME if so.

I will take it

Sounds like you are applying flawed logic from a misunderstanding of bedding to everything else.

It's flawed? Then that's why I am here. Could you explain?

Similar weight to the Element Nexus 4-25x50 then.

Glassaholic has just finished a review of all the 6-36x56 LOW based scopes, looks like he is going to be busy again with the lower magnification versions.

The same could be said about any pillar in a pillar bed job that wasn't cut PRECISELY short enough to squeeze a LITTLE bit of the stock, but then stop there because otherwise, you'd be squeezing just the pillars, and the stock wouldnt get any tension whatsoever, and conversely, the pillars would get almost no squeeze, and the stock would take most of the tension, but would then swell and contract with the humidity, defeating the entire reason for the pillars.
That's why a pillar bed job is kind of a precise job. The amount of movement in this box far exceeds the amount of play necessary to prevent it from being crushed when torquing action screws. That was one of my questions I guess; was how much play.

No. The pillars should take all the squeeze. That is literally their purpose. The pillars should be permanently adhered to the stock.

Sounds like you are applying flawed logic from a misunderstanding of bedding to everything else.

Too easy mate.
Sounds like you've already got the best setup. I run a similar setup.
The SAP sling has the quick cuff section towards the forward portion (captured by the clip buckle). If you are shooting off a rock etc such as you mentioned you can slip your arm through, cinch it all down and get a lot of stability. Unsupported shooting has gone away alot in the precision world for some reason, but it's still a good skill to have. You can find some good video's on unsupported sling shooting

Yes. I tend to be either/or for positional sling use versus a tripod for hunting. I don’t find a sling helps much if the rifle is clipped into a tripod. My overall body positioning solves the tripod challenges pretty well.

The AT-XC is an improvement over the AT-X but not for the price difference

I agree with this. It's not a worthy upgrade if you already have an AT-X, but if you are looking to pick up your first short action AI then I think the juice is worth the squeeze.

Dot3 said:

I agree wholeheartedly and am working to account for all of that.

I’ve talked to a few folks about the concept and they’ve been very interested in trying it out. So I think some of the lack of competitiveness also stems from not knowing how/where to compete. That doesnt fix inexperienced ROs or other issues though.

I’m hoping to limit the gear race as well. I’m open to suggestions on how to do that without flat out saying gamers ain’t welcome.

Locally I find most hunters are not interested in competition because they have built a secure persona around their experience. A new game makes them feel insecure. Also, many of them will spend big $$ on another new rifle , but refuse to spend more than $500 on an optic.

Is that screw on the top behind the ejection port a cover for an optic mounting system?

Yes. This has the Nighthawk IOS plate system.

No money. Eggs, extra-large. One for one trade.

Tailwind said:

Same guy here. After I said pm in bound. I received this message. But I had already sent my info to original seller. Smelled fishy because it was not the same message thread I started with seller and asked if he could respond to my original message, which he could not. Seller confirmed with me it was a scam. Original seller GTG… We all need to be very vigilant with these transaction. The Hide is an awesome platform for our shooting community, but also easy to prey on complacent buyers.

This is very much (at least to me) a chatgtp assembled sentence. The syntax and phraseology are too classic and no one under 70 types like that anymore.

You can get carried away with certain things in which causes distractions to where you are not mentally focused on the task at hand. While I'm a master multi taskmaster, the bench top only has what I need to shoot, fill out any pertinent info before or right afterwards. Half the time I pull a scrap piece of paper from the trash can and scribble, half a joke.
I like taking a picture with notes and place them into that guns album, easy to access, even screenshot the Garmin if needed and move that to the album. Sometimes simple notes work the best. In the end, whatever works for you. With that in mind, it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish, some examples below all different goals. It also helps as a quick reference if I can't keep key points "in my head"
Again, all in what you want and the lengths to get there, I try not to make that part a pain in the ass and enjoy the trigger time more so.
