I will update when I get a day off to take him out!
He has shot out to 300. Prone, seated, and off a tripod. He's still a young shooter but he has been making pretty good progress!
Same boat here. I would say the thing that burns me out the most is the absolute shit management. I went salary 3 years ago and have been promoted twice since then, with no intentions to go any higher. I did 8 years on shift, 3 years on days, then took higher pay to go back to supervise a shift...
Athlon Ares G2 15-45.
Lot of punch for what it costs. Can also buy a reticle eyepiece later on.
Gen 1 Razor for the same reasons as above (used) and they can take Swarovski eyepieces.
Glass is better in the Ares.
All mounted and ready to roll! I’ll update with range reports.
65 in/lbs on the ring bases.
30 in/lbs on the caps.
All degreased and loctite applied.
50 in/lbs on the stock screws.
Factory 20MOA rail has been removed, all degreased with alcohol, nail polish on rail and dab on screws. 6-48 at 28 in/lbs.
FWIW, the screws were ready to strip at 28.
Anyone recommend a stock torque for a Savage SA in 308? Factory synthetic stock. That is next on the agenda when I get home...
Huron, rings, and bipod showed up today. Will get pictures and range report with the boy up soon.
So far I’m really liking this Huron, seems like a damn solid choice!
Had some 30mm rings laying around for it, but I decided to go ahead and order some Warne MTN Techs. I figured I would go ahead and update as we go along!
Thanks fellas.
