The Czickness XLV anxious for the SGE

[marvin02]

Happy birthday to CM, hope you're having a good one.

I got the Holosun red dot mounted on the P10-S. Used a plate from C&H Precision Weapons. The plate is a great fit to the gun and the dot fits really snuggly onto the plate. Have to get some range time.

I might switch over to using the Norma Tactical plinking rounds I bought for break in...

Perfect. I am more likely to follow the break in procedure on what should be an above average barrel. On the other hand, Hand lapped barrels done right shouldn't need much breaking in (in my mind at least).

While it's a pain to do, if you do the break-in procedure, you will never have to wonder.

I typically get lazy and partially follow the recommendations...fire one and clean, fire a couple and clean, a couple more and clean, several and clean and then have fun.

The S&W 25 temptation was sold quickly. Now that I can't have it, I want it more.

I did a very scientific study on barrels that I did not break in properly.

The Howa 6.5 Creedmoor had a very filthy barrel and took a while to clean after shooting.
The Bergara 308 barrel was not too bad and cleaned up quickly after shooting.

The Howa is showing great accuracy already. The Bergara is not impressing me just yet.

So, the results are: I have no freaking clue.

I think that if a person wants to chase the ultimate accuracy, the 6.5CM is the route to take (based on everything I've read .... low recoil, flat shooting, etc.). This is probably YOU, Spicy.

My Bergara HMR was purchased to give me a reasonably accurate 30 cal bolt gun. As I've said, it'd be the one I'd choose to shoot an Elk (out west, as there are no Elk in Indiana), if I ended up in the Rockies because of TEOTWAWKI.
It's a solid choice, and has good adjustability in the stock. Like you, I would have preferred a bit longer barrel, but I've also noticed that longer barrels can be unwieldy, so 20" will have to do.

I just wish that the next time you head to Greenwood, you give me a hollar. You had to have passed within a few minutes of mi casa ! .... and I would have given you a cup of Ginseng, to refresh and energize yourself !

Or order it from KYGUNCO for $899 and be done with it, like I just did.

Anyone want a Bergara B-14 Timber in .308? I can make you a good deal...

Sorry but I'm a Tikka guy

Thanks for the "B" day good wishes my friends.

You may have logged 72 years but you've fit more life into those years than most 90 year olds

Your Tikka is very nice and I was sincerely tempted to pick one of those up instead. You have the T3X Lite, right? I found two sites with it in stock, in .308, for under $700. Fantastic price for an awesome rifle.

The key to proper break in is using the right oil, lubing up the camshaft with the good stuff and making sure that baby is pretimed to make her bark right off the bat… Then run her up to about 2500-3000 rpm for about 10 mins while occasionally revving the engine up and down to let the oil get some different spots… then let her cool down and repeat. After that, you’re good to let’er rip tater chip!

Oh… You guys were talking about guns….

Years ago when I visited the shop working on my 383, I was surprised to see them running it at 6800 and not being concerned. In my life I had never seen a big block V8 street engine run that high and just let run there while they made decisions from a laptop.

I don't argue with people who I am paying to do a job that I don't do as well as they do.

Technology has come soooo far. Parts available today are incredible. My boss was involved in a blown alcohol dragster build for while. The big block Chevy they were running at first gave up just shy of 9000 after some driver/track prep errors… They switched it to a HEMI after that and it was shifted at 10,500rpm… just absolutely incredible.
