Yeah I can see that with FDE, but it's odd that they actually use the names elite sand and elite midnight for the other two. I was hoping they were straight up elite cerakote colors.
I've gone through this entire thread a couple times now trying to decide which color AXSR to go with. I've always been a black guy, but leaning towards Elite Sand this go round. Are the elite sand and FDE just Cerakote's E-150 and E-200? Or are they proprietary mixes for AI?
I love mine. I've hunted with it for the last few years and swap it over to my LR rigs for target use too. There are times when I find 6x a little much out in the bush. But I don't think I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon.
I lucked out. After being a little turned off on the price of the 190 Bergers, and the discontinuation of 500 round boxes, I decided I should give the 183 a try and checked to see if my LGS had any. They were on sale for over 50% off. $38 CAD per box. Cleaned them out.
It's a 1-1/16"x 20TPI savage small shank thread, but will not work with a barrel nut due to the design. Really wish they went with the Tikka threads, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me.
Looks like these are pretty close in performance (BC) to the 183 SMK according to Litz's book. Not sure why I never gave them a look before. Picked up some 183s to compare with the 190s in my rifle. should have them all early this week.
I think this is an excellent value. Just ordered one for a buddy who wanted to build something on a KRG Bravo. I was thinking Origin then came across this deal. In Canadian dollars the barrelled action with trigger comes in $100 cheaper than the Origin alone.
Just picked up 2 boxes to try out in my 7 Rem Mag and maybe make the switch from the 195 Bergers so I can save those for my 28 Nosler. The listed BC's are pretty close between the two. Shooting the 195s at 2880fps, 28" barrel with Retumbo, SAAMI 7RM chamber. Didn't hit pressure until well into...
Saw the IG post by AI today. Anyone in the know have any info they can share on this rifle and the differences between it and the AXSR? I know the info will come soon enough, but my impatience is getting the best of me.
