Best **** Gun has a funky looking chassis that uses an ar-15 buffer tube, I think about anything that uses the ar-15 buffer tube could use one of the folding buffer tube attachments? not sure on that. KRG whiskey 3 as well, although thats still $1300+. The value proposition is entirely up to you.

Factory mono BCs are generally pretty bad. even the barnes LRX, at 3000 fps muzzle struggles to get past 650 at 2000 fps (and I agree with @lancetkenyon, stay >2000fps with a mono, even if they open below that, they basically never open up all that well). the only way to do it I know of is to...

Very curious to see what recoil reduction is gained. I've been searching for something exactly like this, but I haven't seen much on how much it affects recoil.

I was looking at getting a criterion for my savage but remembered this conversation. Does anyone have good results from criterion barrels with the BD2s?

Saw that, I have a tikka so I'm good to go (long mags and long bolt stop).

Awesome! I'm burning through my factory 1:10 twist 270wsm for now, but the freebore measurement will come in useful for me in the future.

Scopelist has a demo unit on sale for 1200. Given that they've had it on sale for quite a while, I would hazard a guess that its not really a demo.

I think the Sig 6ks are pretty similar, with the advantage of being lighter. I ended up going with the ABs though, I couldn't get over the 5 year warranty on the Sigs.

Oh great, an ai advertisement.

I think as long as the blast is hitting the front of the unit (the side that doesn't have the screen) you'll be ok, although I'd probably try to tuck it up close to the rifle anyways. A heavier tripod might be needed too lol.

It was about 5" down and 5" forward of an 18" 243. No brake, factory hornady superformance ammo. It has some impact marks on it that are about the size of a grain of powder, and the cracking is consistent with what I would expect to happen with an impact on the very edge of the screen. Edit: I...

Its getting replaced for $100. I'm happy with that, I don't expect every company to be Vortex.

Heads up, don't set the Garmin down, then adjust your shooting position backwards to the point that the muzzle is behind the Garmin. Bad things happen (I think this was unburned powder impacts?)

As @idcwby said most run them with pretty short jumps. I had to back mine out to about a .1" jump to get them to work though, and I have a friend who never got the badlands to work (he has a pretty picky barrel in general though)

Can't speak for your action/stock, I get lost on all the different savage variations, but having just put a model 10 into a stocky's stock I can say those aics bottom metals take much more work than I though they would (about 1/4" of material from the front of the magwell), so I switched to the...
