I didn't see a muzzle break code either. I just paid for my rifle, I hope I get an opportunity to get a break on a brake.
I think in an earlier post, Josh said to order and pay for the brake separately to keep the cost below $2000.
FYI, I have had a nucleus for months. has 600+ rounds through it. Josh and Ted did an awesome job on getting this action slick bc its smoother than my nucleus.
Anyone else refreshing their email way too much today? Congrats gentleman, glad to see these moving!
Thanks guys.
@Srgt. Hulka the coupon code is a 1 time use thing and it's unique to each SN shipped. It is printed on the label of your rifle inside the box.

I just received payment notice!!!
we are excited for you!
my number is in the 38xx range, guessing I have a few months.
gives me time to put together components and prep some other stuff for the rifle.
I just heard from PVA that anyone who has ordered a John Hancock in 6mm CM, RH, and Black KRG stock, that they don't mind if you haven't paid. PVA told me that they hope you ignore their requests for payment and that they are going to send your rifle out anyway.

It was done for best performance with factory ammo and our production reamer for 6.5 PRC
I sure love all the pics!! I cannot wait til I can post pics of mine. OK, I have typed enough, I need to get back to refreshing my email.......
I feel like all the JH guys need to get together into a plt/co./bn. and do some "army training" with their new rifles...
Order 1929..... dont expect to see it for a while..... Christmas new years then shot show..... maybe in the spring
Your Nucleus barreled action is on the top of the list for guys in the next batch of Nucleus actions. We are waiting for more actions to arrive right now.
I spoke to ARC this week twice and they found an issue with the latest batch of bolt heads that came back from DLC plating. They are optimistic we will get them just before Christmas.
Sorry for the ignorance, but the bolts are DLC? I thought the whole action is nitrited
In the same batch as his.
The order numbers are not particularly telling because our system has every order in the same contiguous order. A barrel nut ordered today will be almost 4000 but it will also ship today. Same with Hancock orders, barreled actions, etc.
Nice shooting, I like that range! I don't get up there often enough.
Mifflin County
1020 or further now. Tons of steel. Paper to 500 or further now. Can drive to 1k too.
Very rarely people there.
Is 880 a formal range or a private spot? Sounds like I am in a similar location to you and would love to find somewhere longer than 700, as nice as 700 is.
The range is Mifflin County Sportsmen's Association I live approximately an hour and a half away from the range it goes out to 1040 yards and they recently added more Steel to the range, fortunately the arrival of my John Hancock rifle coincided with my last hunting vacation days. It is a 6.5 Creedmoor using Prime ammo and less than twenty rds at the time, @ 100 yds while sighting in here is a better pic
, and if I lived closer it would cost me alot in ammo lol.

I'm really excited to start seeing results from these JH rifles. Good looking rifle and good looking groups.
private farm im able to occasionally sling rounds on. depends on the location of the cows also
Hurco VMX42i w/ H200 4th in the 40tool configuration.
Really nice shooting! I'm glad to see you're enjoying it!
Gotcha, covet those spots LOL
Nice...I have 8 Hurcos myself. Various models. The conversational programming is the best in the industry, IMHO.
Looking at all these pictures of shouldered PVA barrels on Nucleus actions is starting to make me want to buy a BRA shouldered pre-fit for my Nucleus to replace my Criterion BR barrel. I've only got 670 some rounds on it, but the group sizes and smooth curves are just so attractive...
That was important to me as well. I bought the Hurco over the Hwacheon for 2 reasons:
1) Hwacheon only did 30 tools
This could be mitigated by going to a VF4SS and getting 50 tools, which is pretty nice, but then I'd have to deal with Haas again and my local HFO has been suffering a lot of service support problems in the last year.
2) The post for a Hurco is basically anything and since my Haas 4 axis post is super reliable I decided to just go that route. I actually posted a program from our CAM package, drove the thing over to the dealer and we loaded it into the controller and ran the program without any editing.
I check mine as well. I doubt Jeremy will make that mistake, but I will respond / forward the message if that by chance happens
I'm going to be your bad influence.. Do it! Currently running a shouldered 6BRA, .48inch groups at 200 yards.
I got a shipping notice on Wednesday!!
My FFL should have a package arriving tomorrow.

Holy cow, that is awesome!! Congrats!! You are like one order number before me, I am so stoked!I got a shipping notice on Wednesday!!

I don’t think enough of them have been produced to hit 1776 yet.
SN 1776 would be so cool that it could be auctioned for charity...
I’d bid.
