They textured the actual molds for the production stocks, so the grip is molded into the actual surface of the resin/composite, I don't believe anything else will be added. With the clear resin and busy pattern of the carbon nothing visually jumps in those photos, I imagine the light needs to...
They are planning to map out an action one of the guys here is gonna send in to confirm if fits in their tikka stocks (it should, the footprints are similar they just have a different inlet), so I would presume that would mean the two versions of the Tikka they currently have and maybe the...
No joke. If they REALLY wanted elk off their property just allow hunters on it for free, those elk will scatter. But the fact they don't tells you everything you need to know about their true motives.
Here is an example of velocity differences, mind you each bullet design they have is a little different but as noted if you're 2200+fps you're typically into more consistently performing territory.
No, they state lower numbers which some folks cling to (not saying you do) and don't get the performance they want and others like me who uses barnes alot will comment to stay at a higher velocity and then the person will say "but Barnes said I only need 1800fps" and then turn around and...
I have a Black Friday sale order so they had a bigger backlog from that I am sure but my timeline was the into production email, then 2 weeks for nearing completion email then 2 more weeks till it shipped. IE one month after than production email. I did have mine lapped though so dunno what...
Velocity at impact at your desired distance is your main consideration with selecting a mono (obviously it needs to be stable and accurate too. Personally that’s 2200+fps for me and most Barnes to get good expansion, not “minimum expansion”.
Did you weigh it before installing? If so length and cartridge? Kinda curious what magnitude of weight they’re fluting removes. I’m thinking a few ounces on short lengths perhaps?
