Actually,I have not,but probably should. Hint.

Fixed Fhuqkers set THE bar,there is no doubt. Though in fairness,I've never used one in conjunction with a padded mattress,nor with any other Bullet Steering Device. Hint.(grin)

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

It takes many cycles to to realize this,
I’ve currently got over 20 firings on some lots of .243AI brass and nearly that on a couple lots of .223AI brass, and have not had any donut issues.

Always find some to turn off near the shoulder/ neck junction as the round count goes up.

Scott,

Fortunately, the 162 jumps nicely in my Montana 7-08, though I had the mag box and receiver opened up to 2.920” to allow a bit more latitude to play with.

A bit of data regarding drops and hard use. No SWFA 3-9x test yet, but the other SWFAs are a good indicator:

Good intel fellas. Glad to hear it on both accounts.

The 3x9 SS is almost great. To me, the correct version of it is Trijicons 2-10x36mm. It’s just my opinion but it’s darned near perfect for my use. I’ve got a few 3x9’s and they’ve been great just never seem as great as some others. But they are still a lot of scope for 500 bucks for a 4-9 variable.

At 400 bucks the Athlon Helo’s are running in the same pack. I’ll read through those threads you sent Jordan. So far the handful I’ve had have held up well without a bobble but I’ll admit they haven’t taken any serious whoopings. But they have taken some light spills on gravel and similar and been on point.

Mechanical zero stops,locking turrets and illumination do not suck. That especially in conjunction and extrapolated,to wares that have none of it. Hint.(grin)

It's not a concession,that wares of said attributes set on shelf,ready to ship either. Hint..............

Yup, that’s a great point as well.

I won’t toss my 3x9’s in the dumpster but there’s better now for about the same money.

I'd just do a faster twist, especially if you have a long action...

or just chamber either one in a NEEDMoor case with a faster twist...
