Do you have the actual #'s on those mags? I'm not seeing it on the Larue or KAC sites. ETA: Found this on another site: I called Larue this afternoon and asked what length of COAL the Larue LT762-20RD magazine can reliably handle. The answer was 2.860". I found a quote from MFINGAR in the archives here that stated 2.870" as well. But still not finding anything on the KAC mags. |

I don't understand the fascination of taking the things that make an AR15 harder to fire accurately consistently and using them to replace the things that make a bolt gun easier to shoot accurately and consistently. Here's your new precision bolt gun, complete with no stable resting surface fore end and extra long error inducing lever pistol grip.

It would be nice if LaRue did a 10rd mag with an option to block it down to 5. OR has a capacity limit while game hunting.

It may not check all the boxes for everyone, but it's very innovative and something that is different from all typical bolt actions out there. It's blending everyone's favorite black rifle, with the positives of a bolt gun. And this is just the beginning, this rifle might trigger a new wave of bolt gun innovation.
They're trying to make bolt actions great again. |

I think the really neat thing about the stock is how light it is and I guess the attachment system they use on their rails. I cant say I really notice a difference when shooting off a barricade using my bolt guns with manners and KRG setups vs my ar15. I do like a narrow hand guard when shooting offhand. None of this matters though since I shake like Michael j foxx after drinking a case of red bull. |

You do realize you don't have to have a round bottom when you have a modular forend right? You can add whatever combination of baracade stops, flat sections, hand stops, etc that fits you, your shooting style and the particular match you are shooting. OR if you use it for hunting, get rid of all the gun game accessories and put a RRS Arca-Swiss adapter on it and latch your rifle directly to any universal arca-swiss tripod. You can change a thin round modular fore-end to be fat and flat. You can't take a fat flat forend down to thin and round....... |

View Quote That's why I'm going to use the manners with the MPA system in it, but variety is a good thing. There are so many different chassis and platforms on the marketing and coming to market there is something for everything. Manners typically are far lighter than any chassis system. Q managed to to really keep the weight down which is impressive |

I'm curious for the reasoning behind not having the top rial be integral to the receiver. Just so you can change the angle of it? I bet a 20moa would fit most people's needs and should add a good amount of rigidity to the receiver.

It has to do with the ability to run without a rail at all for an ultimate light weight set up. |

I think I'll pick up a .308 to start and then will entertain a different barrel down the road.

The fact that they have the barrels and aren't offering it shows that they want to squeeze more money out of people. They want guys like me to buy a 308 and add on a $600 barrel. Doesn't make any sense if Kevin really wants to please his customers. |

Yep, sign me up for a 22" Creedmoor once this rifle has been put through its paces.

From them....only 308 will be available this year, but barrels will be available from $400- $1000 depending on manufacturer. They mentioned using Proof barrels, so it sounds like they'll have plenty of options after a bit.
Still pretty butthurt they won't offer a Creedmoor right now. I halted on doing a t3x CTR Creedmoor build in favor of The Fix. |
