    Maybe check out the new Schmidt and Tangent scopes. Arc just released a new action... I doubt Tom Myers will be there, but if he is, it would be interesting to see if he brought his new Mod 22 tactical triggers .

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Are there any plans of discontinuing any of your other actions? It looks like you have four actions that are aimed at the same tactical rifle market.

    To chassis or not?

    There's nothing wrong with practicing with your rifle. I wouldn't worry about upgrading it. When you feel like you're ready to really up your game, buy a custom Remington 700 type action. This will give you the most options down the road. Some can be had for very reasonable prices.

    Defiance action new costs?!

    I haven't tried the Vampire. Mine is a BAT TR from SAC. The bolt will bind if I try to bind it, otherwise it's very smooth. I guess it depends how the actions are spec'd as well. I'd imagine if you tried a BAT benchrest action, it would bind quite easily, but the tactical action I have is nice...

    Best oil for preventing rust?

    Me either. I usually leave mine scattered around the living room and on my bed.

    Defiance action new costs?!

    I let this guy at the range with an Impact try my BAT. I felt sorry for the guy because I actually saw regret sweep over his face after he cycled my action.

    Precision Rifle Gear OPS-CORE NFMI plugs only

    Same experience with the Howard Leight MAX. My ear holes have gotten looser after all the penetration. Why don't these ear pro companies just fill their earmuffs with lead? I'll get used to the weight.

    Tangent 5-25 or new Schmidt 6-36

    Reticles are certainly very personal. I think on paper, the FML-TR1 and the Zeiss ZF MRi are the best tree reticles I've seen.

    Precision Rifle Gear OPS-CORE NFMI plugs only

    You're right about their website. It's a pain trying to sort through all the different types of plugs. Ill try a few from your list. The ear soft ones aren't advertised for gunfire, but if they reduce noise in the proper frequency, they should work. I'll give them a try as well.

    Tangent 5-25 or new Schmidt 6-36

    I spoke to Ilya about the outer portion of the reticle on my M7Xi that exhibited the same thing. He said it's common for FFP scopes with high erector ratios and wide FOV. Maybe @koshkin can educate us a little more on it. I didn't notice a loss if image quality with the M7 on low mag, just a...

    Tangent 5-25 or new Schmidt 6-36

    @wooferocau Do you still have your 3-27 and 5-45 Schmidts? I wasn't clear if you replaced or returned them. If you can recall, after adjusting the diopter, was the entire reticle sharply in focus at low magnification on these scopes?

    That's good to know. I'll stay away from the ops core stuff.

    I'll give them a try. Do you like the regular Flents or the "quiet contour" ones?
