Current Surgeon vs AI Action
I’m no expert on Surgeon. I know they sold some rifles in the GWOT. Chamber’s may have been modified, specific triggers, etc. I don’t know. The AW and AX series of rifles didn’t suffer from trigger failures until the appearance of the competition triggers AFAIK. I own both and like both...- Long Range 338

Current Surgeon vs AI Action
Was the Surgeon designed and tested to the same standards? If it was then it should be on equal footing. Are you talking about purchasing a mil spec rifle or building a custom? Not necessarily the same thing.- Long Range 338

Current Surgeon vs AI Action
Because in spite of the idea that a commercial action on a custom rifle is as good as an AI, it’s not designed and tested the way the AI system was.- Long Range 338

Current Surgeon vs AI Action
OP Don't let a bunch of guys on the internet tell you what YOU need. The info you are getting is what we as individuals think are the most important parts of a rifle and with our own bias of what makes it best. What you really should do is attend a small local match and try to get some time...- Long Range 338

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!
I had a client with the same light primer strike issue. He had seen the video and adjusted it what he had supposed to be correct. If you call American Rifle they will talk you thru the process and get the trigger hanger set just right. With the client they were able to quickly resolve the...- Long Range 338

Defiance or American Rifle Company
The CDG is miles ahead of the Defiance actions in terms of features and ingenuity. The only figment issue is with the trigger hanger and stock/chassis needing to be inletted. It’s a bit of a PITA but it’s a one time issue. Personally I haven’t seen the need for the trigger hanger but many...- Long Range 338

Wyoming roadtrip
The biggest obstacle in Yellowstone is the overwhelming amount of idiots. You’re going to lose half your time waiting in traffic or in lines. Do your driving thru Wyoming in daylight as there are lots of animals crossing the roadways at dawn and dusk. As stated, there is still plenty of snow...- Long Range 338

Thermal clip-on compatible options for Zeiss LRP S5 3-18x50
So, there really is no optic with a thermal. You have a sensor (think camera) on the front end and a display you are viewing thru your day optic. Your aren't having to collimate optically like you would with a NV unit. However the more centered you are, the better off you are. Most pic rail...- Long Range 338

Thermal clip-on compatible options for Zeiss LRP S5 3-18x50
Alignment is going to be dependent on how you have the Zeiss mounted as well as your mounting option of your stock/chassis. Assuming everything is one long pic rail, typically 1.5" tall mounts are pretty close for NV/Thermal use.- Long Range 338

Dead Air Keymo
I haven't had much chance to test it yet. I do have the new Nomax and I've installed the keymo but winter has kept me from confirming. I'm confident it will be just as accurate with the 338 as it has been with everything else to this point. ETA: I've tested at 100 yards off the bench and...- Long Range 338

Dead Air Keymo
Keymo is my favorite QD system and is absolutely repeatable. Of course it does come at a cost (money and weight). As mentioned above you can get repeatable results with direct thread and other attachment methods. I have found the Keymo to be the most supported and easiest to use of the QD...- Long Range 338

Rifle Scopes Another “I want a new scope” thread
So….. Your use should drive the optic. What is your priority? Price, glass quality, turrets, or reticle options for example. Nothing inherently wrong with any of the optics you listed but at the end of the the day it’s YOUR optic. 1st focal plane scopes are really tough for hunting if you...- Long Range 338
