Yawn for the most part. I did find it odd that two of the products featured are “knock offs” of other products. Curious to see how that works out for them.
The biggest thing it has going for it is that it is just an upper swap on an AR15 platform but runs off the Grendel mag for better reliability. People that hunt that platform and sub 300yards (Hornadys range not mine) may find it attractive in a short platform and suppressed.
1800 generally but some people use 2000. I have seen posts with lower than 1800 impact velocities and still acceptable performance but I believe 1800 is where you want to be.
I know defiance won’t last I checked but it wasn’t them that I read wanted people to send their action in. I own two of their actions and will probably sell one and upgrade to an impact nbk. Bat seems to have had their stuff together for a while now but oddly you just don’t see a lot of guys...
Some of you may be surprised how much more these types of things are being reported and handled, without the coverage. Seems IMO kids, especially in public schools, have very little tolerance for the ones who threaten/do these kinds of things. They want to feel safe at school, as they should...
I think I read some where at least one of the action companies listed wanted you to send in your action so they could headspace etc so they would not just send you a bolt. Can’t remember which one so may check that for those interested.
To be fair you were on the edge of the velocity limit for expansion possibly but clearly still within its capabilities. Nice work and congrats on the meat!
Bergara is a lesser rifle IMO. The QC seems to be hit or miss and more times than not a miss. If you do some digging on the web you find first hand stories of these issues.
Plus Tikka takes prefits and bergara does not. Tikka is a better option all the way around.
