Terminus Zeus Vs. ARC Coup De Grâce Bolt Action
- By Apop-ra
- Bolt Action Rifles
- 12 Replies
Hi Folks. Icelander here.
Im deep down in PRS shooting and have been using Big horn action. (really good action) Had Impact 737r but did't like it.
Are going to have Borden Mountaineer sometime in january 2025 and Terminus Zeus are in my shopping cart.
But now I also see American rifle company Coup De Grâce Bolt Action as a feasible option.
What do you all say about that. Should I get Terminus Zeus or ARC Coup De Grâce Bolt Action.
I would like to have both, but afraid my wife would shorten my lifespan or at least make the rest of my life miserable
(joke) I have a great wife that understands how sick I'm when it comes to guns and gun related stuff

KRG X-Ray Chassis: Initial Review
- By Iggy

I had the pleasure of seeing Justin of KRG at SHOT Show 2014. His Whiskey Chassis (WC) has always been one of my favorites. It's well thought out and the machining/construction is top notch. What caught my eye this time around was the new X-Ray chassis which is mostly polymer based.*While it lacks the adjustably of the WC, it makes up for it in price ($549 intro) and weight.
I've managed to get my hands on a pre-producion version, so things may change when the final version comes out, but let's take a look at the chassis.
First let's break down some of the features:
- Uses the hallmark self-bedding aluminum "backbone" and trigger guard of the WC.
- Tool-less adjustable cheek rest like the WC.
- Adjustable length of pull via spacers, not included.
- Vertically adjustable butt pad via removal and two bolts.
- Includes bag rider/butthook that can be replaced with included MOE polymer rails.
- Polymer for-end with spaces for included rails and bipod adapter, but also many available accessories.
- Accepts AI magazines
I'm currently using a McMillan A3 and like it for its narrow for-end, and traditional appearance with a vertical grip. All similar qualities to the X-Ray. My first step was to see how much lighter if any the A3 was compared to the X-Ray.
The A3 was weighed with the bottom metal and cheek pad. This more closely resembles the X-Ray because all those features are built in and I would need them to shoot. So we are comparing real world application weights and not just the bare minimum.
As you can see, there is a savings of 0.84lbs. Which you can really feel when you hold the rifle offhand.
A side by side comparison of the two. You notice the for end is a bit shorter along with the length of pull, but *they are similar in overall dimensions.
Taking the complete chassis apart shows all the pieces. The buttstock is in two pieces, but I could not get them apart. I'm sure KSG does not recommend this. This is everything that is included in the box along with the accessory rails.
Most of the chassis is polymer while the trigger guard and backbone are aluminum. *The trigger guard has a generous amount of room for aftermarket triggers as well. You can see in the photos below how much room there really is.
Here's a closeup of the backbone for reference as well.

A simple DIY QD bolt action brass catcher (magnet mounted)
- By CollarChoke
- The Armory
- 36 Replies
EDIT: updated version and instructions available at: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...-catcher-magnet-mounted.7241362/post-11924356
So I like using a brass catcher, but I hate the ones that mount via picatinny. Even the old MPA folding one is cumbersome and can get in the way and when running Spuhr mounts and other picatinny hogging stuff you often don't have anywhere to keep the brass catcher. They also get in the way when storing the rifle and it's just a pain to take them on and off in general.
I wanted something I could use easily across rifles, that would stay put during positional shooting, but also easy to rip off in case of anything. So I found this AR brass catcher print on thingverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3675277
Scaled that down to 70%, epoxied some magnets to it, added some male-velcro top and bottom to keep the mesh bag from sliding off and low and behold it works pretty good! You simply just plop it onto the side of your bolt action ejection port. The magnets are strong enough to hold 12 loaded rounds in the mesh bag, so spent brass shouldn't be an issue. The little roof ensures there's enough space for the brass to eject properly and I can't get it to fail in dry cycling practice anyways.
I'm sure someone like @pfl338 could turn this idea into a better executed version, but even this dumb prototype is pretty functional. I'm going to replace my old MPA catcher with it and if it's reliable enough I'll spend some time adding some proper magnet mounts and all that as well.
Figured I'd share in case other folks want to give it a go as well.
