Unfortunately CA makes the same quality crap as Remington did, that put them on the auction block. The only thing that sells their rifles is carbon kool-aid looks. Their chambers are usually tight, barrels rough as hell, smiting work is garage shop amatuer level. Their actions aren't true, you...
Dead air caught a bad name in their QC department with how they handled the faulty weld issue inside their Sierra suppressor line. They dropped the ball, took a long time to publicly take blame, and even longer to get all the customers squared away. They have gotten better on all accounts. You...
PRC holds 10gr more powder. Will have roughly 120-150fps advantage at same psi levels in modern day rifles. The magnum case head will hold primers longer running elevated pressures. Both these cases are at home on intermediate length actions, especially running the long heavy bullets seated out...
I was at the range today, guy next to me was shooting a 24in 7prc with a newer dead air nomad ti xc, it was QUIET, very. I was shooting my 300nmi with the diligent LTI with dead air E brake attached. Switched back and forth a few times to my ultra7. The DD with ebrake(which weigh about the same)...
I primary want something for Tripod interface to clip in to my mount. I've ran a Hnt26 which is a carbon arca rail, and they're robust enough to hold up. If they added more fiber and extra hard resin for about 6" from recoil lug forward, a guy could possible machine arca right into the forend...
When order bank opens up again, I'll be getting a couple more. Ones gonna become a project stock that'll be inlet for a recessed arca rail in front of recoil lug, have a local guy who works with carbon. He'll carbon glass in the flat inlet, for strength, then I'll set t nuts from barrel channel...
Needs a thicker carbon backer, or some more substantial fill to set something stouter for screw retention idk, they're doing all they can to keep weight down. Glue em from the factory!
6um/6saum/6prc si, all 71-76gr of each other, 75fps spread between em at same psi. I have a 20in 6saum getting spun.
Tikka triggers..........they're good. I was shooting my Tikka 65prc today(trigger is oem spring, I just shortened and backed out the factory setting screw quite a bit, bout 20oz)...
What are you guys getting for bare rifle weight with the proof carbon prefits? I've played with a few cross at gun store and I hate to like them, cuz I've got so many rifles already. An 18" carbon sendero lite 6 creed would be sweet titties on a cross.
Put 50 rounds down new Tikka barrel today at range, 170 ish total on rokstok. Noticed my butt pad is loose, not quite falling off like other guys, but I can wiggle it side to side, lil gap when I pull on it. Hopefully this has already been addressed.@Unknown Munitions @Stockys fix this shit...
I have a few 6cm but have not gone under 18" barrels as I want to keep mv at or above 2900 with heavy high bc stuff, without being super high psi. My 18in runs 112s at 2950 but I'm using rl26. 20in and 22in are 109eld at 2950-3000 with H4350.
I built a 25gt for prs this spring. With 135s top end was 2770 from a 28in barrel. I tried varget, H4350, rl15.5, never could get em to shoot consistently small. Switched to 131 blackjacks, and they shot better, at 2720 with varg. The barrel never would shoot like my 6gt, 25cm 65cm match rigs...
An Ace #2 sporter at 18in will support 5/8x24 threads for your can, it'll be under 3# for barrel, likely within 3-4oz of a carbon and half the price. A Tikka with that barrel in a rokstok will be around 6.3#. Lightweight is cool and all, but the lighter the rifle, the more attention to all the...
Yeah it's relatively thin elsewhere. There are dots in the vertical stadia at 1 mil, 2 mil 3 mil etc, which are smaller than the center dot. I really like the tenmile 3-18 reticle, I just wish there was more seperation between the dot and vertical/horizontal stadia at the center region.
Recently mounted the hunter 3-15. Glass is solid. Center dot is 0.2 mil in size, which workable on lower end magnification, but quite big for shooting small groups at distance on paper. Installed it on the womans 6cm, she didn't like the lack of mag, but she printed a 1" 5 shot group at 300y on...
