I would say it is longer than average and fully covers my back when seated. Seated and arms stretched it is close but the elastic at the hem helps it stay put. It is not quite as long as my Kenai at the tail, maybe an inch shorter.
My Preferred Barrel is stamped that way as well, and in 2 places around the diameter of the shank. Mine is a savage style prefit on my Shilen DGR Action with a barrel nut so it made sense for that application, because they would have no way of knowing where it would end up in relation to the...
In case anyone wants to know, I have worn this jacket quite a bit at this point and have some thoughts to add.
It is in fact windproof. Riding in a boat with 30+ winds and about 45*, I could feel nothing coming through.
It needs to be below 40* to do any moving in this thing. Heats up...
I just did this a few weeks ago. I just used some heavy duty 80 Grit 3" wide sandpaper meant for a long block. I masked off the barrel and set the barrel action in the stock (wouldn't go all the way down of course) and started sanding up and down the channel with the stock held in a vise...
Here's Mine:
Started as an OG T3 lite Stainless in 22-250 I picked up for $500 collecting dust and unfired at my local range.
-Bolt Wrought Iron Fluted by LRI
-Mountain Tactical LA bolt stop
-Mountain Tactical Bolt Shroud
-Mountain Tactical 2 Lb. Trigger Spring
-MTN Gear Titanium Bolt handle...
I have a Preferred Barrel in 280AI. I went with them because they were one of the few that would throat the chamber to a supplied dummy round, and I wanted a longer freebore. I sent them three dummy rounds with 184 Bergers at 3.65" COAL and when I got the barrel, those same bullets in the same...
I have 3 of the new style Trijicons, a 1-6 Credo, 2.5-15 Credo, and a 4-24 Accupoint. I think they are excellent scopes with all the right features. I'm surprised they don't get talked about more. All three of mine have the repositionable throw lever and don't have any clearance issues. The...
Could you do it, maybe. Would you want to, probably not when you could touch it up after each one and keep it screaming sharp vs just getting worse and worse. Sharp knives are much safer and more pleasurable to use
I’d imagine something with one of the extremely high carbide super steels like s90v, s110v, maxamet, or the like would do it if you’re careful not to chip the edge. The high hardness, high carbide steels are a lot more prone to that.
Not a fan of replaceable blade knives for several reasons. I prefer a high quality fixed blade with good steel. My favorite steel is CPM Magnacut. It is very tough and won't chip on bone even at 15* sharpening angles. It is very fine grained and gets sticky sharp fairly easy, and does not...
I did that one with a dremel then 80-400 grit progression with a sanding block to get it smooth and fit exactly right. I’d probably use an oscillating multi tool of I did it again because it would be easier to make a straight cut. Measure and mark carefully. Good thing is those mags are fairly...
Bit of a dissenting opinion here but I was not a huge fan of my Element 3.0 for my Tikka. Just seemed to not soak up recoil as well as a traditional stock. Also the Carbon Smoke Composites buttstock was originally designed for AR 15’s where the barrel is inline with the stock and I felt the...
That is an interesting question. Just from looking over and feeling carbon barrels, I'm pretty sure Proof, Carbon 6 and others laminate the Carbon directly to the steel, likely with some form of vacuum bagging. Applying resin in a vacuum, if done properly, should prevent any voids in the layup...
My advice on the stock is to shoot a rifle with a chassis before you buy one. I know a lot of people love them and the adjustability is great but I tried an XLR Element 3.0 with the carbon stock and just did not like how it felt shooting it. The recoil just seemed more violent. It was a very...
I'm fairly young at 27 so when I started getting into rifles more seriously, suppressors were fairly prevalent and I had used a few before starting my gun collection. Every rifle I have bought or put together in the last 9 years has a threaded muzzle because I knew I wanted a suppressor. I...
This will be the initial review of my new Canis Pamir Jacket. I have only had it for two weeks and not used it in the field, so I will just go over the features and construction of the jacket and how I plan to use it. There are not many reviews on Canis gear so I figured this might be helpful...
Appreciate the reply. Interesting how the same features work better for some people than others. Just goes to show how subjective clothing reviews are. I agree 100% that it’s designed to be used with layers and that makes it overall more versatile. Just out of curiosity, what size is yours?
