Side question: does drinking Red Bull not mess up your heart beat rate? I don’t even drink coffee if I plan to go shooting that day cause my heart would beat like I just ran a 100M…
Who knows, I drink a 20oz Red Bull before every match. But I also drink them daily as that's the oilfield breakfast starter pack

How to tell if Bartlien proof or lothar walther?View attachment 7922401View attachment 7922402
When I bought a takeoff barrel from someone here I had the same question. I was told by Mile High that the Bartleins should be 5 groove and the Proofs are 4 groove. Not sure if that holds true across the board but that’s what they told me. Not sure about the LW barrels.

So I noticed that on MHSA, the Proof Research barrels are cheaper than Bartlin barrels. Are there any major differences? I am sure they all shoot great. But what drives the price difference?
 
Proof is corporate owned. I've "heard" that they are a bigger shop and hirer a lot of tool changers to man the CNC machines. Bartlein is probably a relatively small company compared to proof. I have never had an issue with the proof barrel and one of the most accurate barrels have ever had was a proof. I think their barrels are really good but I think in the mass sample size out there Bartlein reigns as the most consistently high performing barrels. And they have a pretty big following so there's a lot of competition to buy their barrels. I think in terms of supply and demand they can charge quite a bit more because people are willing to pay that for a Bartlein barrel.

If you are relatively new to the precision rifle I would just save your duckets and get a proof barrel. I doubt you're going to see a difference between the two. You have to be reloading and shooting at a pretty high level. I think there are a lot of new shooters that agonize over this brand versus that brand and then they feed their rifles factory ammo.
Makes sense. Thank you! I know both brands are reputable. I am going to go with PR then.
 
Ohhh Great and powerful AI Gods...

Asked a question and coming in search of truth

- Can someone tell me if the Competition trigger shown will fit an AW manufactured in 96?

Appreciate the time

Thank you
 
My buddy finally listened and bought a accuracy obsession / vision chassis for his AX.

So helped him with the install. Here is a couple pics
