Anyone tried dropping one into an AICS AT or AX chassis yet? Wondering if the bolt handle clears the chassis, and if the folding stock on the AX will fold over the bolt handle and knob without interference.

Interesting. Mounting with the Thunder Beast Compact Brake I haven't noticed any POI shift and it sounds like it should, at least. Maybe call up Thunder Beast and see if they can take a look at it for you?Not my first can. Also had a .6 mil elevation shift and .3 mil windage shift. Shift was consistent, but I was hoping to use it the same way you do.
My Surefire by comparison only has a .2 mil shift despite weighing double that of the TB.
View attachment 6934774Almost there! Got my glass for it yesterday. Now if I could only get my stock to arrive!
I ended up getting a TT special when they were on sale because, unfortunately, I think it's likely my stock will be here before the Super 700 will. I like the trigger but am disappointed that I can't get it to lighten up to the advertised poundage. I wondered about that after I had already picked it up. Not disappointed in TT, just wish I could have known actual weight range before actually trying it.
At TT factory setting it was 2lbs 12oz. The directions say that it must be 3 clicks in to keep screw from falling out so I backed it all the way out till no clicks and then back in 3 clicks and I'm at 1lb 8oz. That's right where I run at right now but wanted to be able to go to the advertised 1lb if I wanted to. I was wanting a 1-2.5lb range. Knowing what I know now, the Diamond probably would have probably gotten me that but I was afraid it would be too light on the heavy end since it says 2lb at top end.What is the weight range you were able to hit with that trigger?

Yep, you should be fine at 1.5lbs. It is really consistent and I like the short smooth pull. The only negative I could give it and nitpick to TT about is with the adjustment screw backed that far out, it is loose and rattles if you bump it the way it hangs down. Won't know till I get to really use it if it would be annoying.Thank you! I have the same trigger going into my Nucleus and I was hoping to get around 1.5lbs. I had the same problem you are having with my Stiller action. I couldn't get close to the lowest weight advertised with a Timney 510 trigger. I sent it back to Timney (who was very helpful), but the geometry of that action was preventing me from safely going any lower on the pull weight.

Yep, different firing pin springs give different pull weights from what I understand. I'd be curious to know the range with the Diamond when you get it.It must be something with the action,I have the TT Special trigger on my Shilen DGR action and can turn it down to 1 lb. I have it set at 1.5 lb.
I bought a Diamond for my Nucleus build,I'm just waiting on my LH action to arrive in a couple weeks,hopefully!
I had the Nucleus in a KRG Bravo while I was waiting for the PRS-2 to be finished up. I actually like the Manners just a little bit more as it puts my hand a little further forward so I can get better leverage on the bolt than I could on the KRG Bravo. For whatever reason, I had an issue with not being able to open the bolt with just my index finger when mounted in the KRG, just couldn't quite get the right leverage. No such issues with the Manners.How do you like the PRS2 and Nucleus? The Bravo places my hand perfectly for extremely fast cycling. I imagine the PRS is the same?
Thanks, I can't really complain. At this point I'm just fire forming brass and breaking in the barrel. I've got about 100rds down the tube so far. Can't imagine how much more things can improve with proper load development from where it is now.Nice looking rifle, looks like it shoots well also!!
Nucleus RH 6.5x47 Lapua
26" PVA Shouldered Barrel, Med. Palma, Button Rifled
Triggertech Special set around 1.5#, very awesome trigger!
No light primer strikes, every round of the guns first 50 went boom today. The rounds on the target are #11-50 in 5 shot increments. The wide group I had my brother-in-law shoot it for a group.
I don't have much to compare the action to except a Tikka, and a Stiller TAC30. But, it is very smooth and looks up perfect. I can run it fast or slow and it's just awesome, no regrets here. There's something about the action that just feels rock solid. It has interesting features, but they feel very thought out and simple almost.

I have just been able to unscrew mine with my fingers, is that an issue?Has anyone changed out the bolt knob yet? If so......what's the right tool for that job.......strap wrench?
I put mine together yesterday.
Nucleus LH SA .473 bolt head - 30 MOA rail - Barloc
X-Caliber 20" 1-7 twist 5R Varmint contour threaded for suppressor - Chambered in 22 Creedmoor
TriggerTech Diamond trigger
KRG Bravo chassis with a LH Whiskey 3 backbone and modified shell to LH
Revic PMR 428 scope in medium ARC M10 rings
Now if it will ever stop raining around here,maybe I can do some load development.
Mine was not a normal Bravo. I put a left handed Whiskey 3 backbone in my Bravo. My understanding though is that the RH Bravo and Nucleus mate together perfectly. Are you RH or LH?Was there any special fitting required for the Bravo or was it a drop fit? Got one on order right now up in Canada with a ~4 month wait time. Living vicariously through you guys for now.
Did you just use a standard Remington 700 inlet? Or order one specifically for the nucleus?My first custom action!
Action: Nucleus SH w/ .475 bolt face
Stock: Manners PRS2 with gen 2 mini chassis in scorched earth
Barrel: PVA button rifled Rock Creek in heavy palma 6.5 creedmoor
Muzzle Brake: Area 419 Hellfire
Scope / Mount: Vortex Razor Gen 2 4.5-27 with ARC high rings
Accessories: SAP 2 round holder, Area 419 RRS accessory rail with Atlas PSR bipod.
Magazine: the 5round Accurate Mag functioned well, I have two 10 rounds on order from ARC
I'm terrible at taking pictures of rifles, here's what I was able to capture at the range last Saturday.
This last picture has my Nucleus next to my Tikka both in 6.5 creedmoor.
I was one of the first people to order a "Nucleus inlet" XLR chassis while I was waiting for my pre-order, and when I ordered it they sent me one of their Rem700 chassis with a slight modification to accommodate the straight bolt handle vs the usual swept bolt handle on a Rem700.Did you just use a standard Remington 700 inlet? Or order one specifically for the nucleus?
