I noticed the 7.5" twist. Is that in anticipation of the 156(?) Berger that's supposedly in the works?

That one and the new 150gr SMK.

I just picked up a box of the SMK's, and they look really good...long and lean;)

Aalf do know how to put a rifle together and shoot it well.


When its time to fight, you fight like you are the third monkey on the ramp to get on Noah's Arc... and brother, it is starting to rain!

Pat, anymore updates? Particularly interested to hear how the 135 and 140 JLK's do.

Picked this up yesterday afternoon so I'm clinging to your every word, lol.

I'm liking the EH-1....

Well, everything else too.

I've only put 140 rounds through it. Been squeezed for time, but there's a lot of summer left..

So far the 139's are shining...and there's no guessing on how it performs on game.

Recoil with this APA brake is about the same as a .223, virtually nothing.

Thinking about building a 6.5 PRC....trying to figure out which action would work best for this build. Looking at the Defiance XM action and the Surgeon 591 WSM action.....any suggestions between the two??

The set-up is going to use a BDL style floorplate....want to make sure this thing feeds reliably and smoothly in the field.
