Hi,
Well...optics start at about $2500 right????

Not always necessary thankfully.
But you must have a 260.
What are those big barrels chambered in?

After carful consideration I have revised my quote....
Sell me a fucking rifle already.
It’s been warm in the north east this year...can shoot comfortably outside.

Hi,
Might as well be upfront and public about that too, lol....to continue the line of transparency of Hoplite Arms.
We intend to ship the first Sentinel stocked rifle to @Dthomas3523 for him to put his hands on it and give it a whirl. If he likes he can purchase, if not he can ship it back.
We intend to ship some of the first Doru chassis rifles to @TacticalDillhole @b6graham and few others so they can put hands on it and give them a whirl.
This will happen within the next couple of weeks, so those that are tagged and those that are in PM, please send me your FFL information.
All BEFORE we take any customer funds.
Very cool Theis.
You first adopters - let us live vicariously with lots of pics

Ummm, I notice you have LSU purple but where’s the scarlet and gray one?
Hi,
In the melting furnace where it belongs....No Losers allowed in here, lololololololol
Before anyone gets snowflaked feelings on that comment.....me and Dewey are good.

I would call the RPR market a sub 2k.
So your weapon systems are for a connoisseur appetite. Just wanted to know where I would have to be to get in the door.
If I can't afford a $2500 optic, then I certainly can't afford the system to mount it to.
Optics wise... I think we all got crazy
Used NF for 1000 will do the job just fine.
I can guarantee that I missed a lot more shots because of me and ballistics more than last generations glass.
Now the higher pressure we’re talking about on this thread is worth the price of admission.
I’d rather shoot a rifle capable of superior ballistics than upgrading glass.
Just my opinion.

Hi,
I will have to check on that.

Hi,
I will weigh that for you when I get barrels threaded on Tuesday/Wednesday.

I hadnt planned on going to SHOT this year, but turns out I will be in Vegas on the 24th if anyone is still around and not totally dead or sick with the funk.
I am in agreement. I am anxious to see how the barrel life issue is solved shooting these High Pressure rounds.
May take a few years, but it is the next logical step.
Wow!!! This has to be the first product I would not be concerned about being an early adopter!
Hi,
Seems to be working now. The email server gremlins might have chewed a wire or something.
With the way some of the things have been going on here the past few weeks; I would welcome something such as that, haha.

Hi,
I will not be around, lol...I am back to the office on the 23rd.

Hi,
Great!! Already have plans to meet with him to discuss some other things

I’m sure I missed this, but for SA, will it use AW mags or do you have some proprietary mags?
Also, I have a 6gt reamer I can loan you if you want to chamber any of the first rifles for the homofeline.

Hi,
AI #6955 Magazines.
First 10 barrels are already chambered but if you want; bring reamer to shot show and I will have barrel cut for you with it.

Hi,
Thank you for such compliment!!
Since I always get asked different questions in this thread, lol...may I ask you a question?
For my curiosity can you PM me what reason(s) you personally have used to come to that comment/decision?
Sincerely,

The openness and transparency.
Its hard to have doubts about a products release when someone is doing everything they can to relieve any doubt about it.
PM sent. The short answer is my first high end scope was an early Premier Heritage took multiple trips back to HQ for issues. They finally fixed it but the experience left me jaded.
I will spend the whole week in vegas. I might be wandering at the show still on 24th if I didn’t already get into too much trouble with all the gambling and drinking that has to be carried out too.
And it’s rare for a manufacturer to bring the customer along the build journey. Seeing Hoplite’s due diligence is highly appreciated and welcomed.
Love the transparency and being brought along for the journey (starting long before this thread). The amount of thought, diligence and testing really stand out vs the rushed to market products we're used to getting.... but...
Call me 'jaded' and/or your 'typical garden variety skeptic', but reliable triggers have proven far more difficult for this industry to execute properly than actions. If you don't mind can we revisit the Hoplite trigger as mentioned last in post #92 (see below quote)?
Are you able to elaborate on "Not M700"? Specs/features/pull graphs/etc?

Hi,
@goosed
Triggers, Triggers, Triggers..LOLOL...they sure do cause a lot of "triggered" reactions.
We did not attempt to reinvent the trigger wheel at all. We purposely sought out a trigger design that we felt paired with our thought concept of the receiver and built the receiver to function with that trigger.
I personally hate roll pins in anything, especially when installing a trigger..so that ruled lots of designs out.
All Hoplite Arms rifles utilize the Timney Howa 1500 trigger.
Single screw mount.
Easy weight adjustment.
Effective safety mechanism.
Proven sear engagement design.

Hi Theis,
I thought the trigger attachment looked familiar many pages ago.
Love my Howa's.
A possibly stupid question for you,
Running higher pressures with faster velocities in the standard cartridges do we need to think about different twist rates to get the best from them ?
PS
I've been lurking for years here & finally signed up.
Hopefully some of your rifles will make it to Australia for us to get our hands on.
Thanks

you might be in luck
i think there was another guy on this thread from your part of the world and they had it figured out
Fingers crossed.
If not my go to dealer imports a lot, so shouldn't be a problem when the time comes.
It will take a bit of time to save my penny's yet.
Thanks

i hate to derail the thread but i have to dust off the original.....
all joking aside though, i am getting tired of shooting green or tan rifles
i think im going for a little splash of color
might do the copper with some black tiger stripes, or green with orange and call it "Battle Cat"
