Let's talk .243 vs. .260 vs 6.5 x 47

[Cypriss32]

Great.....I wonder if they will close it down..

[PistolPete75]

I like Nightforce, the pda version. It's simple to use like JBM. If you plug in the correct numbers, it'll get you right on target.

If you use a kestrell and plug in the right data, the rest is a breeze.

Pete-were there any details to the surgeon bottom metal? Mag release location, pics, etc?

dunno nothing except he said that it was rolling of the machines and ready to go soon.

[Cypriss32]

There are so many options now.... CDI, Badger, seekens, Surgeon, HS, klip clip, and I cant remember others.

That's what Don told me he was shooting through the ones we got.

I spent quite a bit of time talking to Don at that class at Pala because I was shooting a .243 too and he is using the 115 dtacs with winchester brass with those barrels he sold you. Just thought you might like to know.

[Cypriss32]

If I remember correctly Dons current barrel was a 1-9 or 8.7 or something like that. He couldnt shoot the high BC bullets. He told me the sent him the wrong barrel accidently. The 243 sounds kinda good. More money ohh well. Cry once and buy once right/

I'll take Don's word that they are 1:8 twist.

Good to hear the 115s will work. Lets plan on the reamer for that bullet.

Did you order the Surgeon action? From the looks of it, we might get them in a few weeks. I'm also going with the Surgeon BM to fit my aics mags.

Fyi Ryan, I might just get my barrel turned by Randy since I need a FFL to send my action to. It's less drama. I'll probably have Randy order my A5 and bed it too, and call it a day. It should be doing .3 moa

I want my rifle pillar/steel bedded instead of glass bedding it.

[rksimple]

Yeah. Got in on the GB. Cant wait for the action. The surgeon BM looks OK. I don't know if the mag release comes down far enough. I like that the badger latch goes down a bit. Seems easier to manipulate in a hurry or with gloves on.
