Sorry....This post would be on page 1 if the 7PRC reloading, Garmin update, and awkward Stock Guy interview arguments were filtered out. And I feel like I have no idea what’s been released at SHOT…

But, it has been made clear that current, off the shelf powders will get you to same velocity. It’s nothing proprietary that’s getting them the velocity numbersDon't worry, I found the answer, and as I assumed the factory loads use a powder not available off the shelf to consumers..
I'll see if I can find it. I believe it was from Federal themselves on the Vortex podcast but I'll have to look/relisten. I understand manufacturers use special blends but I recall them talking about this specifically and they said it wasn't anything special and can easily be duplicated by consumers with commercial offerings once people started reloading.Man idk where your getting your info, but the folks over at Federal have stated that they use proprietary powder. Just like Hornady did with the first batches of 7mm PRC. Its VERY common for ammo manufacturers to use a blend of powders or to make their own specific powder for a cartridge that are NOT available to consumers. Even basic Google searches reveal the same information.
agree on the 4DOF. $4K also not something i'd spend on these even if all the "best this, best that" claims turn out to be true. he didn't get into it in the video, but briefly justified the price with it being a premium product, it comes with accessories (didn't mention what they were), and lifetime firmware updates. which going back to the garmin thing, would be nice to have your $4K binos not be obsolete in 2 yrs.I have a hard time believing the 4k price tag.
Had a opportunity to look through a prototype a few months ago and they were really good, but not 4k good. Running 4 DOF vs AB is a no go for me.
If we're including things we knew about beforehand...yes, the new Sierra TMKs are cool. The new Lyman affordable cans are cool. But nothing that has been revealed *this week* has caught me yet.So far, Sierra's new bullets are about the only thing getting my attention. This year seems like a lot more me-too items, gimmicky stuff, and iterations of varying utility, rather than genuinely new and interesting.

IDK man....I always just end up with socks.There's always hope, that the last package under the tree isn't socks...
Really curious about what company is going to be offering the Rokscope though. Haven't seen anything official yet.
do you have a link or picture? I can't find via google.new hunting stock from Foundation, the Remnant. Looks nice.

My guess is $4k is MSRP which almost nobody pays. Also, Leupold does have the no-questions-asked warranty on electronics AND glass right? For something as expensive as high-end LRF binos, knowing that you're covered if you drop them is worth something.I have a hard time believing the 4k price tag.

Its a chassis not a stock theres no mould for the action just the forend and the side plates which are cut out of flat carbon. The foreend could easily remain the same.Change of design? Different footprint? Tikka footprint is completely different from 700 so they have to have a separate mold anyway. Why not start with a standard Tikka mag mold. Then you likely open it up to a larger market. Only have to have one mold since the tika footprint uses both short and long mags, then you could add the aics mold later if people are requesting it. The only reason I can see for doing aics out the gate is because they've determined their primary market prefers aics with Tika and or doing an aics mold is easier than figuring out the Tikka mag mold.
When I have looked at aics mags for Tika stocks, they cost just as much as Tikka factory mags, and they are nearly always heavier and they always function without fiddling, with the exception of the 2235 round mag. As a mountain hunter concerned with weight, weight and function, I would go with the Tikka factory mags. No reason to add weight to an ultralight stock unless necessary
As long they keep an AW cut option!Impact NBKx - apparently a lighter version of their NBK action. Which is cool because the NBK was supposed to be lighter but its not at all light.
