Exactly 5 inches. I don’t think that will work with the kimber 8400/warne bases. The 84L action is exactly 1/2” longer than the 84M. The 84M bases fit the 84L, but the 2.5-10 NXS is just shy of having enough mounting space. I would imagine the 8400 action is similar length than the 84L, but I’m...

I don’t understand the cult moniker. How is testing mechanical things, and posting your findings on forums come to be a cult?
To me it looks like those who are emotionally and financially invested in a product, trying to discredit the results of his tests.
I get it, finding out that you...
This is simply not true. There are those who complain about glass quality, bulky turrets, and availability. Except for that guy who did the goofy playground tracking test, I haven’t seen durability issues.
