On these arca pic combo rails on the scalloped foreend, can you still balance on a tripod and ballhead? Or is it more for arca bipod attachment? Seems kinda far forward to balance

I far prefer to lock in forward instead of balanced, better recoil management.

Can’t just say shit like that

It’ll happen.

Finally!

Ok interesting I didn't think about that. That is reassuring then thank you

@Ryan Avery how many molds are you presently planning on?

 

[khuber84]

I ordered a rem700 SA to compliment my Tikka version, F it.

 

[BBob]

@Ryan Avery how many molds are you presently planning on?

Unknown said that was dependent on how many stocks were initially ordered. They posted the breakdown at one point.

Yeap

 

[WesternSlope]

Yeah, that post is what my question is centered on. I’m curious what number of preorders corresponds to what number of molds.

Also does when you ordered correspond to how soon you receive your stock?

We will update timeline’s next week.

Has anyone else spent a good portion of the last 24 hours poring over the Cerakote color chart?

 

[roosiebull]

What happened to the limited green and gold?

Not seeing it there.

You didn’t watch long enough, it’s right at the end

Nope...I did that for over a week!

 

[HighUintas]

I've been trying to figure out which cerakote color is closest to the gray/green/blue color that some kimner Montanas and Barrett fieldcraft have. The color examples on cerakote website aren't great.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Pay for the 2-3 cerakote option and request they mix colors to get a close match. If cerakote doesn’t have a standard option that’s as close as you’ll get.

However, you can record the H# of a few you think are close and google images for more reference or email cerakote for clarification.

At the risk of being told to ride the short bus, I’d like to ask some questions about shooting with the flat toe. @Formidilosus @Ryan Avery are you getting elevation adjustments mostly from squeezing the bag? Are you having to reach up and adjust the bipod more?

I did shoot with the bravo a bit and loved the recoil impulse of the flat toe, but it was fussier to get on target. Admittedly i only shot a few hundred rounds not a few thousand with it, so maybe it would have become second nature with time.

On the other hand with my Alterra stocks I have become accustomed to preloading the bipod more so things are not really sliding on the bag at all.

Would love to hear some thoughts and eventually see some use videos.

Would really dig some instructional videos where you go through your shot process.

A “forms fundamentals” sticky or series would be very helpful so you don’t have to dig through different threads to find all the nuggets of info he’s imparted over the years

I'm interested as well. Both my rifles have a sloped toe, and I do sometimes adjust by sliding the bag back and forth. I've also found, though, that it works well to lift slightly with the trigger hand, squeeze the bag, and settle the toe down into the bag again to the desired height.
I use a Pint sized Gamechanger with Git lite for a rear bag. It's fairly squeezable. I shoot off my back pack so there's no forward pressure involved, and actually I'm applying pressure rearward into my shoulder with the grip hand.

It’s all rear rest.




For all that are concerned with a parallel toe:

What are y’all doing that this is an issue?

This is an issue on a contrived flat range range where someone wants to only use this bag that is too hard to begin with, and somehow can’t or won’t change the bag’s orientation or add another.
