Bullshit! You know you want an ELR gunFor 900 bucks, you'd be silly to not grab one. I know I'm going to get one even though I have no idea what else to build as I have all my bases covered for hunting and match use.

I have two and they are awesome!The easy button answer would be:
M-BRACE SCOPE MOUNT

With as attractive a price point as he's offering there are going to have to be limits on options IMO.
Well I guess maybe I'll do a 33xc lolBullshit! You know you want an ELR gun
I’m thinking a couple LA hunting builds, 30-06 and/or 7mm rem magSo what's everyone planning to build with this action?
I'm thinking a 6mm prs build for myself.
I'm thinking LA myself as well. 300 Norma Imp and maybe a big 7I’m thinking a couple LA hunting builds, 30-06 and/or 7mm rem mag
Have a nuc 223 build and an arch 6.5CM barreled action I still need to build
mags are the problemQuick question. I'm looking to do my first custom build. Probably 7prc or something similar but would like to have a second barrel spun up for a plinking rifle. Would the cone breech for these barrels help with feeding of sa cartridges like 6cm or something similar? Not sure if that would even work with long action. Any thoughts?
PPC and .223 bolt heads for me.In for one if there are PPC bolt heads during intro pricing. Really wanting to build a 6 ARC.
30 should be the new 20.I think 30 is the way

What’s the largest cartridge you do this with?I run my gen 1 nucleus with hand tight barrels. Just give them a hard pop twist at the end and haven't had any problem with headspace going out of spec or them starting to back off. I check to verify it's tight at the same time I verify my suppressor is still tight.
, I’ll have to try this outNothing big. Just short action rounds. I'm shooting 224 valkyrie, 308win, 6 creed, 223. When I get this action I'll be using my barrel vice to tighten the barrels for my 7-300prc and 338nm.
Both Mike and Tikka are doing interesting things to achieve that. I’m not sure you can do that to a run of the mill, off the shelf action without specific material preparation.I run 150ft/lbs because that’s the max on my ARC action wrench.
Tikkas are very good predictable factory guns. They are estimated to be over 300ft/lbs.
Ian Kelbly no doubt builds very accurate and precise rifles. He says no less than 150ft/lbs.
Mike at TacOps no doubt builds accurate and precise rifles. He estimates his torque at or more than 500ft/lbs.
A 1.06” 60° thread doesn’t need any prep to hit 150ft/lbs. A little grease on the shoulder is all I use.Both Mike and Tikka are doing interesting things to achieve that. I’m not sure you can do that to a run of the mill, off the shelf action without specific material preparation.
I’m talking about 300-500 ft-lbs.A 1.06” 60° thread doesn’t need any prep to hit 150ft/lbs. A little grease on the shoulder is all I use.
Not verified, but they max out their torque wrench, and a big burly dude reefs on a 5 foot cheater bar.500 ft/lbs is insane. I do calibration and maintenance for a living and to even get remotely repeatable readings takes a machine to verify a torque value like that.
Quick change is more desirable for me as a condo dweller with no access to a work bench / vise.quick change barrels make no sense to me. barrel vice and action wrench/torque wrench if you so desire
as far as hunting goes he did say they have a lighter option planned. Hawkins mostly eliminated the need for running a wyatts box/obendorf anymore as well
I'm sure the CDG will be just as east.
I emailed WTO about the switch lug and was told they haven't had one in hand but their ARC switch lug should work for it.Hello Hide! Long time follower, first time posting. As many have previously stated, this new action has many features of what I would consider to be the perfect rifle action. There are, however, two features that I would consider highly desirable in this action that have been mentioned earlier in this thread, but not directly addressed. To me, this action is begging to be used in a switch barrel configuration, alternating between competition and hunting. As such, the ability to use extended length Wyatt's boxes/ M5 Obendorf bottom metal, as well as AI and AW mags, would be a huge benefit. Also, as a switch barrel, the option to have a true quick change set screw system, like the Terminus Zeus, would also be a nice option to have. You would still be able to use regular shouldered barrels, but have a quick change cut barrel if you desire. I understand that cost and production time may not make this a possibility, but I think adding these options would make the Coup de Grace the most feature packed action on the market today. Ted, your engineering prowess is well known. Whatever action you offer, I'm sure it will be the among the best of the best out there. Either way, count me in!!
Not sure what the added benefit is of 100+ lb/ft of torque. My hand tight Zeus has been flawless and a great feature I have used repeatedly, especially when I clean my barrels.You’ll never see Ted drill a hole in the tenon of his action.
With a vice and an action wrench, every action is quick change. Then you have the added benefit of 100+lb/ft of torque.

Looks like Ted will have the video up in a little bit
It's coming. We'll try to have it up before Thursday.were we not promised a video on this new action. No one seems to have posted a Shot Show video on it ... anyone ?
Is that the final fluting design in the video. If so it looks awesome imo.Not even done uploading yet and you guys are on top of it! Impressive.
Ted
