About 2 weeks ago, AA said they were almost ready to ship, a little over a week.
Yesterday, I asked if it would ship sooner, if I switched to a 16" ( thinking 16" might be in stock ) she said 4-5 weeks either 18" or 16" WTF ? 
I canceled my order Today, was gonna get a 16" ODIN, but then got a back in stock email from Joe Bob Outfitters, the FAXON 16" Gunners are in stock Ordered the FAXON. already got my tracking number FUCK YES

I'm going to wait on AA.
In 5-6 weeks I'll post some targets and we can compare. I'm hoping it's worth the wait. |

finally got time to test it out after work tonight.
100% reliable primers all look fine, managed to find all my brass In the fading light, my middle aged eyes, and a Burris MTAC 1-4x got me honest 1.6" groups with factory ELD 123gr. ( 100yrds) The Burris has this reticle, which is not the best for shooting tiny groups. ( not my pic, stolen from google LOL ) 
---------------------- 
pretty sure, with a bigger scope, and better light, I can do better. so far . . . so good. |

Ordered shortly after you, AA sent me a shipping notice today for 18" barrel and bolt. Three weeks lag time. My bullets and brass show up today, so I maybe shooting this weekend. Going with 15" MI hand guard and vortex 1.5-8x Razor.
i called to cancel when primary arms had the 18" Odin with gas tube, gas block, and bolt/carrier for $269 ( labor day sale) she assured me they'd ship in about 10days 2 weeks later i call and ask if it will ship faster if i change my order to a 16" ...she says either way, it's gonna be 5 or 8 weeks or some nonsense i called back and cancelled then emailed her saying per our conversation please cancel my order ....she replies saying 5-6 weeks i reply telling her again that i cancelled she replied my order is cancelled sigh tempted to change my credit card number when i log in, it still shows my order pending I have waited several months for custom gunsmiths but for a off the shelf barrel, i guess i expect too much at any rate, I'm very happy with my Faxon, looking forward to working up loads and playing Grendel |

Try some IMR 8208 XBR with those 107 grain SMK. Both my 16” 6.5 Grendel like that combo. I shot the same load in a Friend’s 18” Brownell’s barrel and it really liked them to.

Caught the PA sale on the Odin too, just as it ended, getting too antsy waiting to get a 6.5 so I emailed them and asked when the next sale would be. They replied that they would honor the sale price all I had to do was place the order and send the sales number to them and they would adjust the price.... Ordered it Monday! $270 for barrel, BCG, Adj gas block and tube is a helluva deal.

What range do you have access to?
107gr SMK is a good bullet. |
