    No visitors as far as I know. 99.9999% certain. And members themselves can only attend by pre-booking either 3/4 hr or 1 3/4 hour slots. Numbers on each range at any one time limited. The bookings...

    Could be. If I get a response I'll add it to the thread for sure. I certainly have no vendetta against Volquartsen - I genuinely thought they'd want to know and act on this.

    Which results are you referring to? Both VQ barrels were returned unfired - I'm not wasting my time to machine, fit and test them when they have obvious defects. I've been caught that way before. ...

    6.5 2700fps with factory 129s from 18", no recoil, kills great. Bit hard to find ammo at the moment.

    6.5, more than enough energy, less recoil better, and ballistics all round. In saying that under current conditions what ever you can get ammo for will be your biggest concern. I'd stay with...

    Probably will when they get more recognition, noticed it has a fluted bolt aswell but i would say and meh 18" is fine it fits a spot. There's plenty of synthetic stocked models with 22" barrels...

    A carbon stocked model seven in 7m08. I’ll chuck a suppressor on it too. 180111 180112 180113 I’m going to try to get it down to the same weight as my Tikka .308, 2854 grams, or there about.
