OK, glad I wasn't drinking coffee while reading these! Then again a coffee flush thru the nose is probably good hygiene!

Really nice rifle and glad to hear the scope rings are going to be a lot lower.

YZ-80 you must be a Gentlemen, only 3 fingers?
You must know that all ready! A gentleman who had the foresight to take on the venerable YZ80 as his moniker is a gentleman of high regard, no less!!! If I were born to manners becoming a gentleman, I am quite sure YZ60 would be my handle!
Proceed sir....

MPAYNE,
A "Deal on TP"?? It is no longer referred to as TP. It is now called "ButtCoin".

Razor lht is here and installed with a ARC m10 extra low rings... ocular bell has more than adequate space... however when running the bolt it has enough play to hit the eye bell of the scope when lifted up. So, not sure where to go from here, it's only at the top of its play that it hits. May have to go to slightly higher seekins rings, even though I do not want to. They next highest ARC rings(lows) are 0.94 and don't want to go that high.

edit* seekins 0.87" are perfect

I would leave it low and have the bolt handle worked on.

considering this as well, I just spoke with defiance and they have had a few people say they had this issue on hunting rigs and apparently are looking at making some handles that are turned down more in the middle. Unfortunately their production appears to be shut down during the pandemic so not sure when that would actually happen.

It's just too sweet of a rig to take a saw all to

I have taken a dremel to more than one firearm, but this one won'tget that treatment! I will try the seekins .87 and see if the extra 3 hundredths clears it and go from there. Doesn't hurt that they are cheaper than the m10s!

Same here with this barrel,,, a 2.8 contour which is 1mm thicker then a factory Remington sporter barrel,,, total weight of this hunting rifle is 11.9 lbs with ammo,,, optic,,, bypod,,, sling and ammo pouch of 9 extra shots...

Yes,,, the little bit of thicker pipe allows for some fairly consistent shots back to back...

Any-Who,,, it aint nothing like the package you have on the go,,, thx for sharing...

No issues with seekins 0.87" rings, so we are back in business, even better this ring height is perfect for off hand shooting. This rifle shoulders phenomenally. Now to getting some powder through it!

loaded 75 and 75.5 grains of rl26 at 3.720 coal for an initial range trip. I don't think I will have any pressure issues with that load but I'd like to not waste a bunch of time in the reloading room. Things are moving along!
