One of the 6.5C scopes is a REALLY NICE 3~18x scope. how well do you think that would work with a .260 rem that has a 16 inch barrel?
98Z5V Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 Just now, ARTrooper said: how well do you think that would work with a .260 rem that has a 16 inch barrel? There's not much velocity loss in the .260 and 6.5C, per inch of barrel, so it won't impact it much. If anything, you might be a little off at 800~1,000, but it's a .260, with a little teeny bit more velocity than the 6.5C in the first place. I'll find out next week what barrel length and load they used to write the user's manual. I'll bet I can get a copy of the manual, if they've already got it written. I know once the scope is released, I have to test it on my .260, and get the zero information back to them. I might try to get one early, get the info to them, and get it included in the manual. I'll pitch that next week, bet it flies.
ARTrooper Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 haha. awesome brother. sounds great, I have had my eye on one of their first focal point scopes for a while, just got to finish the darn rifle. lol

No dialing, no remembering holdovers. Select the range, BAM. Done.
Magwa Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 98 you rock thank you for the info and the reply I will start saving my beaver pelts...... ?

Ballistic Advantage is making a Grendel 16" Mk12 profile barrel, 1:8" twist, midlength gas system. It's identical in profile to their current Mk12 barrels, will accept all Allen Engineering collars and brakes, and suppressors (OPS INC 12th, etc., legacy cans). Their Mk12 barrels are great in 5.56 and in Grendel. Ask me how I know about those two... This barrel is on the way to me. I'll probably have it in-hand before they make the product announcement, and before it's on the website.

98Z5V Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 I'm pretty sure I enabled these new enablers - they don't know it yet. I got this barrel so cheap it's not even funny, and they didn't charge me any shipping...
ARTrooper Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 besides, nobody can enable Tom better than he can himself

It's real, has been for a minute, and it went down with HUGE success so far, as far as reception goes. People are going nuts over it.

98Z5V Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 HINT, HINT! HINT, HINT!!! @Robocop1051 can transfer a ZERO DARK FIFTY to my Gun Pusher for the Spring Shoot, and @Matt.Cross and I can shoot the SHIIT out of it, with JB Matt, get TONS of video, and we can invite Craig Sawman Sawyer up for the Spring Shoot, too. TONS of VIDEO. METRIC SHIIT TONS. We can work this thing out, and get what the People want. It would be GREAT if Rob actually brought the rifle down, for the Spring Shoot. Can you smell what I'm spreadin'?...

I'm telling you this - it would NOT be possible, if Rob hadn't figured out a real, no-shiit, .338 Lapua Magnum AR piston-gas gun that actually works. WORKS. Two other manufacturers have tried it, an no others have tried beyond that (***footnote***). Without that platform, the 500 Blackout through an AR platform would not work... ***I need to get my hands on this, to T&E.

DNP Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 I blame Tom. He started it. All he had to do was throw out Robs white nemesis from the fall shoot.

Sounds like you all have a good time. I'd like to bring my friend's daughter Isabelle (AKA Izzy) along (had little sister Marin at the range yesterday). She has shot with @DNP and I believe gets his seal of approval. She has been shooting with me for 2 years, and is damn good. As my brother says "The boys don't want to piss her off... She could shoot off your left nut, and leave the right one hanging there." Any chance she can learn from better shooters is welcome. The 6.5 Creedmoor build is partly for her to shoot. Her first time on a bolt action rifle, she rang steel (12" diameter I think) repeatedly at 500 yards with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Her comment was "I want one of these!"

Her comment was "I want one of these!" Anyone you want to bring is more than welcome. I corrupted a friend at work, and brought him out, with family. His daughter is a Sniper, she just doesn't realize it yet. She was shooting everything out there on the Mk12 Mod 1, then the 18" Heavy Grendel, then the .260 - like a ninja. She couldn't miss, which fired her up even more. My buddy's wife says, "You don't care if you shoot at all - you're more happy about teaching people..." That shiit is truth, right there. That comment made me smile. Once you bring them out here, there's a whole lot MORE they'll shoot, and say "I want that one, TOO!!!..." We need more of that, in the future generations, and I'm all about it... Edited January 29, 2019 by 98Z5V

Seeing the grin on a youngsters face when they start connecting with that steel is priceless. When the grand-kids start competing on their own for best group of the day I know I got them.
