I run Evolution Gun Works 1-piece bases on most of my rifles. They’ve been rock solid.

If you find a bag, I have an X-curve I’m gonna put up for sale. It’s got a large hip belt though. Has a small accessory pocket on each side of the hip belt. The buckles that attach to pack to the frame were swapped out with auto locks. PM me if you have any interest in it.
I’ve seen a couple here and there on gunbroker, but yes I special ordered mine through a local gun store. I ordered it at the end of January and got it about a week and a half ago. So it definitely took awhile. But the gun hadn’t even started shipping when I placed my order, so that definitely...
I did not record velocities. This was about as quick of a range trip as possible, just trying to get it zeroed. I’ll hopefully be able to start developing a load here in a month with a buddy, so I will record it all then.
I am waiting on my EGW base to get here, then gonna throw a Leupold VX-3i 4.5-15 on top. Need to install/time my muzzle brake so I can throw my suppressor on and get it dialed in. I should be shooting by mid week next week!
What base did you end up getting? I think I’m going to go with the Evolution Gun Works HD that’s drilled for the #8 screws already. I’ve had great luck with EGW products.
Damn that sucks they wouldn’t help you out. I’ve had great luck with their customer service. I had a pair of Brambler gaiters for about 3 years, and one of the lace hooks finally broke off. No questions asked they refunded me so I could buy a new pair (they were out of the color I originally...
+1 for the Sig Romeo 5. Great optic in that $100-120 range. I prefer a Trijicon MRO, but that’s quite a bit more. Look on AR15.com or tacswap.com, you can find great deals on both sites!
I don’t have any experience with that particular trigger, but I can say that Apex makes phenomenal triggers. I have one in a P320 and two in Glocks. They rock.
I’ve been trying out the stone glacier socks, so far I love em. I’ll see how they do on some extended trips in terms of stink, etc. I was skeptical about using synthetic socks, but so far they have been great.
Anyone able to purchase one of these yet? I’m still waiting on my .280 AI to get in.
I had a chance to handle one in 6.5 Creedmoor today at Scheels. First thought was holy crap this is light. Second thought was the stock definitely seemed to leave some to be desired, but I’ll see how it shoots...
