SOLD WTT: NEW Proof CF 18” 6ARC D.Wilson LMT Barrel w/ SA Gas Block for 14.5”

I have a brand new, never installed or fired 18” Proof CF 6 ARC barrel with Superlative Arms adjustable gas block & tube installed, with Proof box, modified by D.Wilson for LMT rifles. Test-fitted on an LMT 13.5” upper, and as one would expect from DW, it is absolutely perfect.
I WANT the same Proof CF DW barrel in 14.5” — and you can have / keep the installed SA gas block for nuttin’ as I’m fine with providing my own block and tube.

Precision Rifle Gear Review of Creedmoor Sports 55in Deluxe Rifle Case vs. AIM 55in Dragbag
- By carbonbased
- The Armory
- 8 Replies
So, I’m posting this because some AI’s require taller mounts than regular Rem700 pattern rifles which makes it hard to fit in many rifle cases. At least for me and maybe for some others with high mounts like @pfl338. Maybe you have this problem too.
I have no relationship with Creedmoor Sports. I get nothing out of this. I bought the case with my own money.
Why this case? I like 55”-56” long cases because they fit lengthwise in my mid-size SUV (~56” max). I was having trouble finding well-made cases in this length that fit tall-ass scope mounting, and without tons of doodads. (Edit: and WITH a shoulder strap. Looking at you, Triad Tactical … wait at 52” you’re too short anyways lol).
The AIM has no shoulder strap, but I figured out that I can leave the right backpack strap out and use it for a shoulder strap. It works OK. Could be better.
Rifle (for size compro): post-2014 AXSA in 6br, 24” barrel WITH a darn 5/8 to 1/2 adapter for a suppressor. Adds roughly 1” to OAL. Measures roughly 52.25“ (with can) currently, buttstock collapsed.
Scope mount: Spuhr 1.89” sky-high (discontinued?) for 34mm tubes
Suppressor: 9” long (~10” with that stupid adaptor). I should have the manufacturer switch it to 5/8-24 so I save an inch.
My AIAX won’t fit in my finely (and US) made Armageddon Precision Rifle cases because it’s too tall with that Spuhr. Doesn’t really matter as they only come in 52” & 58”. The former is too short for transport with a suppressor, and the latter is too long for horizontal storage in my truck.
Currently I use an AIM 55” dragbag, which is unfortunately made in China, a fact I discovered after I bought it. I believe the Creedmoor Sports case is too, but it is only $127, is made of a better-feeling version of 1000d Cordura, and uses actual YKK zips (#10 on the main one) vs. unbranded zips on the AIM.
Edit: the pocket zips are one-way, which is awesome. Never wonder where the zipper pull is again! I wish the main zip was this way too (like the Armageddon). Curiously, the Armageddon’s pocket zips are two way?
On China: I can’t find any other 55”-56” well-made case like this, made in the USA or not. Not even the 54” Bulldog tactical case, which I own as well. The Bulldog is just a smidge too short (but is wide and tall). However, the Bulldog is (also) a good Chinese-made case, and it fits rifles with 7” suppressors that my preferred/better-made 52” Armageddon case cannot handle.
Apparently the AIM is made of some 1000d flavor too (at least current versions). However, mine is stiff/rough and feels…for lack of a better term…simulated.
Unlike the AIM, the Creedmoor doesn’t have all those blasted clips and stuff that snags on everything. But the AIM is meant for hiking, so I get it.
The CM is available only in blue (deemed periwinkle by some wag in the comments lol).
AIM 55” is behind the Creedmoor bag
Note: can’t use the Velcro thing with my 10” suppressor/adapter combo. Makes the ID too short.
The Creedmoor case also has a nice, semi-unusual, and solidly-mounted spine shoulder strap. If you want to tuck this non-removable strap away, first reduce it to minimum length and then use the little integrated Velcro strap to keep it flat against the spine.
The spine-mounted shoulder strap keeps it away from the top access zip (which buggers up the access for your rifle). This is one of my few criticisms of the Armageddon crisscross sling attachment.
Edit: strap is long enough to carry the rifle messenger bag-style. Interesting. Have only tried it briefly.
See stock pic below for a strap pic.
There’s also a stiff insert in the muzzle area. The AIM uses its zipper padding for this. I don’t care either way, each solution works.
Both the AIM & Creedmoor come in 60” versions too.
Fit: tight-ish, and because of the shape of the front end, one must dip the muzzle in first (vs. the butt). As previously noted, I can’t use the Velcro thing at the butt due to my rifle+suppressor OAL. But I’m content; the fit is fine. Once I get rid of that suppressor thread adapter, the fit will be even better.

Cons:
- Edit: turns out I like having four pockets!
With two pockets per side, too many pockets? Maybe? Maybe not? - Edit: discovered strap is a little slippery/tends to crunch up and likes to slide off my shoulder only when I’m carrying a range backpack (with the CM strap resting over the backpack strap). My other bags don’t do this as readily, although it eventually happens.
- Edit: going down steep stairs: the bag hangs low on the strap. Won’t hit a doorframe, but when descending steep stairs I find that the buttstock end tends to gently bump the stair step behind me. This can cantilever you down the stairs if you are not careful. I’m 5’10”. Now I turn slightly to avoid this. But see below!
- Edit 6/7/24: I’ve gone back to first reaching for the Armageddon case, and if the rifle doesn’t fit, then the AIM. Over time, I’ve become a more irritated with how low the Creedmoor bag rides when over the shoulder. It’s a tripping hazard. Still a nice bag, however.
- No padding around zipper. I don’t mind for my use, which is bringing the rifle to the range.
- Edit: spine mounted strap can get dirty easier than other types.

SOLD
What’s for sale?
Brand new Gray Ops 34mm tube 1.54” height 0 MOA scope mount with diving board, bubble level, and Send-It level mount. Basically, the full “system” completely new and unused. Super well thought out mount with steel threadserts for the crossbolts, serrated accessory mounting interface, serialized caps and mount, directional identifiers and such.I really like these mounts though I have too many mounts and not enough scopes or rifles at the moment! From behind the gun you can see the bubble level without shifting focus, the diving board is tall without being too tall, and the Send It mount placement is very flexible.
What’s it cost?
Asking $500 shipped and insured. May consider offers, but these are really pricey mounts. All together these items have a >$584 retail value! Payment via basically any discreet electronic method (Zelle, CashApp, PPFF or Venmo), USPS money order, etc.Trades: I’m looking for SAC seating dies type 4 and 6.

Hey all. New member here and sorta new to long range shooting. Been lurking here for quite some time and have gleamed some excellent help just by reading thru post history. I've come up on something I was hoping for input on. Been looking for a soft rifle case and have narrowed it down to two: Savior Specialist LRP 51" or SERT PRB 53". Savior OOS everywhere and after speaking with them on the phone, they indicated an updated version expected out later this spring. The PRB from SERT looks really nice and Ive read several positive reviews. However, it looks like the only place you can order the PRB is from mfg website and their website gives me the impression that it hasn't been maintained. I've emailed SERT with questions but no responses. Does anyone know if they still in business? Has anyone ordered recently? The most recent reference I've seen anyone post regarding a purchase is a couple years old. Would like to proceed with SERT if they still good to go. If not, will likely wait for Savior to release the LRP. Thanks in advance!

Selling my chrono. It’s in good shape overall. The strap has some fraying in the end and the bayonet has some powder staining on it. The case has my initials on it for identification too. It still functions perfect though and has all the spacers. I’ll include a spare battery as well. $135 shipped SOLD
