Yeah I thought so too, yet none of my carbon steel barrels have shown rust any quicker than my stainless.
Most shooters don't have a clue about the subject and just repeat incorrect information over and over.
Interchangeable bolt heads we knew, it was said by the Aero rep in the vid a few pages back. Dont know if it floats though.
Still hearing that "tikka barrels shoot slow" on here daily. My chrono data disagreed with that, but it was also said in a youtube video by Lowlight, when he replaced his Tikka barrel, so people have somehow taken instances like that and treated them as fact.
most shooters are flat out ignorant to firearms, shooting, tactics, proper function, and common sense. My favorite is still mid vs carbine with all the 'it shoots softer' bs. How a rifle is set up matters more than non material dwell time. It's all become one giant placebo watch. Carbine class had mixed rifles, instructor, after everyone shot through, told everyone the carbine gas was mid and visa versa. He then said pretty soft compared right and most nodded their head like he was Jesus swearing they were better to shoot. Then he said he lied that the mids were carbine and stop believing all the bs out there etc etc. funny. you know, the same dopes that spend on $90 on an ambi selector due to looks but fire 99% never using it. Of course there are measurable differences in wear done by crane but it's IMMATERIAL and the replacement schedule doesn't change
I didn't even know DD5 existed until i fondled it today at LGS. Literally handling sig cross....then DD5.....Sig Cross is a NO BRAINER for a long list of reasons......and $1k cheaper!
Ask someone to explain dwell time without googling it first
Honestly I feel the wisest choice they could have made is matching the origin headspace. Then prefit or barrel nut is already an established thing in the market. I don’t know why companies don’t try to go to a more standard set of headspace. I feel like it’s the next big leap. Faxon matched impacts headspace and I think it’s brilliant.
I agree with the premise, but don't understand the reference to Faxon and impact? Is Faxon going to produce a bolt action that matches the headspace of the impact 737? Can't find any mention of such a beast.
That's slick!
I've got enough IMR4451, H4350, and Reloder 26 to last me at least a decade at my current bolt gun use pace
.
Yeah, I am a big fan of not getting Flamed on this forum haha I am here to answer questions about this project as I am one of the devs. I am working on getting Aero here in an official capacity.
Hey, if you don't like it don't buy it., both products are interchangeable with both Origin and ACC. Our manufacturing processes will severely cut down wait times for "custom actions". Origin and MDTs are great products I own several. All we are doing here is giving the sport more options this is our first entry we are a large manufacturer looking down the road that will be able to offer premium feature sets at great price points lessening the barrier of entry for new shooters wanting more custom options.
Is this built with a specific 700 trigger in mind/around a specific trigger? What’s the firing pin travel with a said trigger?
John,
It is built to accept R700 triggers via the hanger. We do not have a specific one we recommend, we are currently using Geissele, Trigger Tech and Timney. The average firing pin travel is around .24 pretty standard for Remington 700
Cool, is there any cock on close or is the handoff on bolt close really neutral with the triggers you’ve been testing with? What’s the pin tip diameter?
Do you also answer questions for Ballistic Advantage?
This place can be brutally honest and over critical. Some people look at it as you entering an already flooded market with yet another R700 action and chassis. No real problem with that. It is what it is.
This is something being discussed right now. We are not in design lock yet and I will be pushing for this.
Appreciate the feedback. I totally understand I was also the whipping boy on here when I was at Leupold and we released the MK5 line lol
. Opening resets the cocking piece (firing pinhead) and is the majority of cocking, let's say .200, but when you close the bolt, the firing pin head engages the trigger sear just before going full closed and cocks it another .040. That is why there is some camming when rotating the bolt down. For that to push the ejectors back and push the rim under the extractor. Pin tip diameter is .068. The tip geometry is designed to reduce primer cratering beyond just having a tight fit to bolt
TBH, and this won't just be my opinion.
Totally, This won't be the only action we release either. I really appreciate the questions.
I agree. My vote would be zermatt since you went with x 20 TPI already.
Have you been reading this thread? We are the consumers and they ARE listening. It's fine if you want to keep your opinions to yourself but I want to see a quality gun/action/chassis come to market. The fact that it's flooded gives us every reason to have high standards.
