Sisco Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Had my case tumbler fray a wire unnoticed. Shorted out my whole garage! Fortunately it was just the GFI that triggered, but it melted the wires and connector. So I ordered a cheap replacement for now. https://www.frankfordarsenal.com/case-cleaning/case-cleaning-tumblers/quick-n-ez-case-tumbler/855020.html#start=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 From what I saw at the spring shoot I have two Athlon scopes inbound. Ares BTR GEN2 2.5-15x50 and Ares ETR3 3-18x50 dealer threw in Athlon Armour scope rings. Was hoping to get Helos 4-20 BTR GEN2 put it seems they are very popular and sell out quickly I'm looking forward to checking out @shooterrex 's Arken scope this fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf McQuade has been talking up these scopes. There is a long thread over on snipers hide about them. I hope they are as good or better than the Athlon scopes I have. Just waiting on the scope and the muzzle brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterrex Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Right hand. Nice rifle. Waiting for the scope to get here today so I can go out back and brake it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Got the scope mounted. Probably need to find shorter rings . Muzzle brake won't be here till Monday. Edited August 5, 2023 by shooterrex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterrex Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 The rifle is a little over 10lb. The scope is just over 2lb. Not counting base,rings,and bipod. A beast is an accurate description. The steel muzzle brake will add a bit more weight when it arrives Monday. I do like the looks of the entire package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) It goes boom. Scope scooted on me a bit. Guess I didn't have it all tightened down. Still waiting on the muzzle brake. Just shooting off the hood of my jeep using a sleeping bag for a rest. Should do better off a table w/bags. 96 yds. Very decent factory trigger.

Time to start saving again 😂 It's how we roll. Plan, make steps - GET SIDE-SWIPED! - and drive on with the original plan. Unless we get side-swiped again... When it comes down to it, when that happens, it won't matter if it's the Bergara or the Tikka - they're both great rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did install a LaRue MBT2 trigger. Out the box, it was a tack driver (<0.75" groups at 100 yards off of lawn furniture) using Hornaday 178g Precision Hunter ELD-X. Enjoy!

98Z5V Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hellish great rifle, just in the design of the upper/rail fitment, and having zero contact with the barrel. Built-in accuracy, that you don't have to fight, right out of the box. Very few manufacturers have a design like that - around 4 do. Badass gun.

I’ve bought a dozen or so different boxes to test out when the time comes next month. The barrel/DD consistent quality and price had me.

Wish they offered some of their AR15 colors for it but I thought it was pretty nice and worth a little extra tacked on On 8/9/2023 at 11:42 PM, Rsquared said: Sweet rifle ya big ol' mutant. 😆👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some decent videos of it stacked up against some bigger price tag rifles and it held its own. I agree about the upper/rail design…the BCG was another big selling point for me Edited August 11, 2023 by jrtmasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
