I now have over 800 rounds with the Hyperion k and hybrid lite 22 GT. No problems tho I’ll admit I didn’t measure anything. Just wanted enough to go 5/8x24. Next barrel I think will be a light Palma again that I’ll have Kampfeld spiral flute.
Hope these show it well enough. If not I can take some more. If you have not seen how the slik sling works here’s a
YouTube video demonstrating how you would deploy your rifle using it and will probably do a better job than my pics at showing how the system as a whole works. Mine isn’t quite as...
This is a pic of the whole slik sling installed but I’ve since switched to the exo buttstock “bucket” and used the top attachment of the slik sling. Keeps it secure but also is quick and easy to remove the rifle when needed regardless of how full the pack is. I will snap a pic of how I use it...
After using an xlr exclusively this season I liked the flat bottom (this is the only time you’ll ever catch me saying that) and the full length arca was utilized once. So it is not always needed but it is a nice option to have. Not to mention it is much more comfortable to hand carry vs a stock...
I was talking with a buddy about something like this the other day. I don’t know anything about it but wouldn’t think it would be that difficult to have a full length recessed arca installed? I’m sure the opposing view is that it isn’t necessary for shooting off a pack or trekking poles, while I...
Just over 1/4 of a year, I mean 90 days into the wait for my stok, they got about 25-70% of day 1 orders left to get it right before mine ships out. I want and expect perfection… 😜
I thought I’d give one last update on this since our rifle hunts are all but over. Since the last update this scope has been used to harvest an elk, another mule deer and 2 wolves at ~310-600 yards. Hoping to get out after more wolves this winter but will likely be a bit before that happens. I...
This was a buck my wife shot a few years ago with the 147 eld at about 50 yards 2700mv. Entrance center of chest and had shrapnel and bloodshot mid rib. Dead on his feet, made it maybe 50 yards
I wear same size in both first lite and sg puffy’s. Almost exact same “size” as you. 5’8 ~185lbs and I wear a large. Gives me enough room for a couple layers under and still not too big/baggy as a standalone.
I believe starting with 223 bolt is easier. Kinport Peak Rifles will do the bolt work for you, back when I had it done I called 2 or 3 local(ish) smiths plus lri and Kinport was the only one willing to do it. I believe it was $125 or so and quick turn around.
