    Just picked up this exact model from basspro and love it. I'll be able to post pictures of the bolt, etc either tonight or tomorrow if you're interested. 


    Interested if this is the same as the PCC version without Timney trigger?  For the price, seems hard to beat even adding a new trigger back into the price.

     

    Description on Cabelas says flash hider, but picture appears to show a brake.

    Thanks Indy that's the sort of info I was looking for, do you think the Apex trigger bar and the factory trigger will work ok together or make no difference?

     

    It should absolutely work with the factory trigger.  In my experience the Apex bar will reduce the take-up and give you a more crisp break.  It may, however, add some weight to the trigger pull.

     

    The combo of the Apex bar and Apex enhanced trigger (or GG trigger) should yield you crisp break with a pull weight less than factory.

    Hey guy's probably been asked quite a bit but

    I have a pre úpgrade'X5 and I want to drop in the Apex Enhanced trigger and forward set trigger bar. Can I fit these without the upgrade or am I wasting my time doing so?

    I'm in Australia so I have to wait for our importer to get his stuff sorted out before the upgrade can be done and have no idea how long that will be.

     

     

    Yes.  I am still rocking (2) pre-upgrade X5’s.  One has an Apex trigger bar and GG trigger. The other just has a GG trigger.  I have used the Apex enhanced flat trigger as well and works 100%.  I found the flat Apex trigger shoe would leave my finger aching after a match or practice session.  Others use them with no issues.  I simply prefer the GG trigger profile over the Apex.

  4. Here are the results from yesterday as the fam wouldn't let me slip out to the range on Sunday:

     

    Acme 147gr FP

    3.225gr Sport Pistol

    CCI 500

    1.135 OAL

    131.6 Avg PF

     

    Acme 147gr FP

    3.30gr Sport Pistol

    CCI 500

    1.135 OAL

    134.1 Avg PF

     

    Acme 147gr FP

    3.425gr Sport Pistol

    CCI 500

    1.135 OAL

    135.9 Avg PF

     

    Powder throw weights were an average of 4 measured throws. 

     

    Sample size ranged from 11 to 24.

     

    The highest load showed the least variance at 1.51 STDEVA in power factor for a 24 shot group.

     

    Subjectively, the lowest load had the tightest group on target.  This was at 20yds from a bench.  It was also the first group and I was the most careful while shooting it.

  5. I am currently rocking a pair of Columbia-Montrail Trans Alps FKT trail running shoes for my big hooves (15).  They have good traction and relatively good cushioning without being overly squishy.

     

    My next pair will likely be Altra's due to the more natural toe box.

    I’m not conventional necessarily that’s true. I thought official match ammo had to be declared per match by match staff.

     

    This was my understanding as well, that each particular match COULD designate an official match ammunition.  Reading the rules, it appears the “official match ammo” designation only prevents you from being bumped to minor scoring (if your “official match ammo” fails to meet major PF) or going subminor and shooting just for fun (should your official match ammo fail to meet minor PF).

     

    You are still required to chrono as well.

  7. +1 for Acme 147gr FP.  Have not tried SNS, so not a direct comparison.  I can tell you Acme bullets are consistent and coating holds up.  I recently ordered a small batch of another vendor (lots of color options) and their sizing was significantly different than advertised and their coating had flaked off just in shipping.

     

    Lots of people I shoot with use SNS and I’m sure they are great bullets.  For me, Acme gets the job done at a lower price.

    ... Besides price they are perfect

     

    Agreed.  I bought 500 last fall before our section match.  Ran great.  If they were closer in price to my reloads, they would be my go to.  As such, I will probably still run them in majors just to be safe.

     

    I ran a group of 10 over my chrono.  Average PF was 138 out of my X5.

    I've done a couple using JB weld and just took my dremel to one and ground it all off to redo it.

     

    That epoxy looks easier to work with for sure.

     

    What was the problem with JB Weld?  Did it provide good adhesion between the media and the grip?
