The +p idea has been around a long time. DE edge trademarked their work with that name. But a bore rider throat, stepped is the same. The concept is not new. Some are fans and some aren’t including very well known shooters and smiths. To each their own.
Thanks for the honest answers. I’ve been lucky with my carbons so far… got a couple benchmarks that will getting spun up soon. Fingers crossed my good run continues.
The chassis thing is interesting. I’m waiting on a element I ordered. I’m super nervous. It will be on a big thumper. My first...
Are you thinking of being done with carbons? Done with carbon 6? Or just short barrel carbon magnums? Also noticed your starting to go back to stocks? Is the chassis fad faded out? Curious how your feeling if you will share. Thanks. Oh and who did your fluting?
Your a lucky man! I’ve struck out on h1000 and a couple others I would love to have. I have to keep my phone turned off during work and it screws me. One of these days I will get lucky!
You should be happy with your APR. I have 4 of them in the safe. They all shoot very well. Heres a 3 shot sub .1 group from one of my 300wm’s. Their rifles are a great value.
While that is true. He stated in his OP he had 3k ish for a rifle and 2k ish for a scope and was talking about certain builds. This puts you in the realm of a semi custom that will do just that. I’m not saying he or anyone has to shoot at animals that far. That is up to an individual, skill and...
I’m not sure what that is supposed to mean? Everyone has different hunting styles and expectations when it comes to gear. I live and hunt in some of the deepest and steepest parts of the lower 48. If I don’t have a rifle and scope that can be accurate and repeatable well past 1k then it is no...
That is EXTREMELY dependent on what your hunting/shooting style is. I’m not here to argue what is better, worse, ethical, etc. but for me 3k won’t do it.
This is such a Madonna/pretty boy feature. Sure I guess it’s nice but I have absolutely never needed this feature. I am a LR hunter I guess. Shot plenty of animals cross canyon, creeks etc. taken multiple hrs to get to them on and on. I’ve had no issues finding my spot without a range finder...
Where ya at in Oregon? I could potentially let ya play with a few things. That’s a great budget to start. Full custom, probably not but close enough. Those APR rifles are great value. I would push you towards something like the altitude. There are other options out there as well that are...
Absolutely agree, born and raised in the Nw coast range. I know rain. Now live on the east side where sun, snow and cold are more of the norm.
I couldn’t agree more on reviews. I pretty much ignore 99% of them. Now days majority are sponsored and are completely biased or just flat lie to...
I do personally feel the mark5 5-25 is better and more durable then the 3.6-18. I may be wrong…. But I own 6 mark5’s. 4 of the big brothers and 2 of the little guys. I also live in Oregon and have a couple friends who work their… I’m not a fan boy. They have been great for me except one of the...
Haha, we spend a ton of time in the cold and snow. Although, -28…burrrr. I considered picking up the 8k as I like gadgets. But honestly my 2400’s have been flawless. Why fix what isn’t broke. I hope the 8k is a fluke? I like sig as I’m an Oregon guy and can swing into their shop if needed but am...
