How will the ordering go? All money up front? Or a large deposit?

I think it was 50% down last year.

Yes

Apparently I can't type. It should have been:
Tier1 - APR CF Bbl = $2,399
Tier1 - Proof CF Bbl = $2,549
Tier2 - Steel Sendero = $2,199

Will any of these options be considered in a .338 Lapua? Sorry if already been brought up.

Do you really want to be behind a 7-8 pound rifle chambered in .338 Lapua?

Wouldn’t be the first time, so yes I would. on the upside all day packable and for one shot on a trophy is worth every thump.

You’re more of a man than me! But you have a point with only have to shoot once.

Well don’t get it mixed up with being a man or just being a dumb man, but I have been in the mountains with a 22lb thumper and let me tell you it was brutal so hopefully it only takes one shot.LOL not sure what would be worse packing a 22lb rifle all day or shooting a 8lb rifle chambered the same just once.

22 pounds would make the hunt miserable. I’d vote lighter and just take the hit once and make sure you where a mouthpiece lol.
Or get it in 28 nosler, I know they’re chambering it in that.

Edit: I said 28 nosler without know what game you’re after. I just know the 28 nosler hits plenty hard.

Man that would be fun. I'm planning a 300wm but a 300 Norma mag would be a mean machine slinging a 230 Berger.

Decided on caliber yet Keaton?

Have you seen any pressure issues with Proof barrels and the 6.5 PRC? I was reading a on a 6.5 PRC/6.5 SUAM Facebook page yesterday and there was a post from a gunsmith saying he had seen 2 proof barrels that had pressure issues with the PRC.

We just added another CNC mill with the intention of setting it up to true actions.

That's a cool idea! Any chance I could get a tour of your shop when I'm down that way this Spring?

Yeah I'm going to do 22 Creedmoor. Probably a 1-8 twist 22" barrel to keep it a little handy. Might go up to 24".

I have not seen any. That said, the first gen reamers had a freebore that was way too short for the actual ammo that Hornady released. If he was running one of those he would for sure have pressure issues.

Doors are always open for anybody that wants to come by.
