    Leupold spotting scope

    Not sure about it's usefulness, but the Tremor reticle is almost always more money. I wonder if there is a royalty payment associated with it.

    Barrel vises and cerakote

    I also use a Viper. I got some 1/4 inch thick leather from amazon and cut two pieces, each in a cross pattern. One on bottom and a larger piece on the top. I cranked down on the nuts the first couple of time to form fit the leather. You do need to really tighten them to keep the barrel from turning.

    Ingenuity Powder System

    If I had to guess, and that is all it is, I would guess issues getting the aluminum body CNCd. Most machine shops are heavily booked and if his machine is not running yet or was late…..

    New barrel questions with a boroscope

    Or get a couple of boxes of ammo, go shooting, the go home, clean it and put it away unless it doesn’t shoot up to expectations then try shooting it again. If it is still an issue contact the company. Freaking out over pictures of the barrel. Not sure what exactly they will lead you to do...

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    Burned as in way out of my price comfort zone back then bought what was the best optical scope but with a questionable service history ( only service was in Japan). It lost tracking about 8 months in. Was told to expect 2-3 months turn around, rumor mill said 9-12. Sold to a guy for 1/2 price...
