Very nice setup, how do you feel about the glass quality on the 4-16? Seems like its hit or miss with some people.

Without a lot of experience the glass seems to be very clear to me. No problem identifying hits on the steel target at 600+ yards.
With regard to the price, I would have loved to find one cheaper. They were few and far here back in October so when I found one I paid MSRP. I did see one once after I got mine for $699, but it was gone in a day.
MSRP is now $833...I'd be surpised to see if anyone has it for less than $700

My Surefire brake has been on back order with Larue Tactical for over 2 months, with no ETA. I recommend getting your hands on that brake ASAP. Also, anyone recommend any other vendors that I might luck out and find that brake in stock?
1.047" (1 MOA)
I have been out of action for the past few months. Back in March I discovered the bolt face was cracked at the extractor. After some research I ordered a new bolt from PTG...after all, might as well upgrade. New bolt on the left with Sako extractor and the old bolt on the right.
I took the bolt and rifle to Bentwood Gunsmith to have it fitted and the work they did was excellent...as to be expected based upon the recommendations I received and work done by them in the past.
Then it was time for arts and crafts and time to break out the airbrush
Since the barrel was removed to fit the bolt, I had to go back to the range to rezero. Wasn't too bad and only took a few clicks to get back to zero. Conditions were windy but temperatures were relatively cool. The difference between the stock bolt and the hand fitted PTG bolt was night and day. The action is smooth as silk.

Today was the day for the 1000 yd shot with Federal 175g BTHP Match...37.5 MOA elev and 4 MOA windage. The new Timney trigger felt very good.
Ended up being three 1000 yd shots...one of these is Marn's 800 yd shot with his M1A
