2018 Alamo Precision Rifles TBH Special Thread

Well, dang it. Glad you got it sorted out. Too late now obviously, but I bet they would have sent a replacement set. I'm going to keep my eyes on the next few sets now.

I will say I really had to lean on the lapping tool. The anodized or whatever it is was hard as a rock.

My buddy suggested swapping rings altogether with some Burris he had in stock

Thanks for the update, Robert!

Yep, you guys with the "6.5 man buns" (thanks for the laugh Craig) will be getting yours first most likely. This is probably a good time for an update. What is that saying about the best laid plans......

We had originally planned on running them through in batches as we originally laid out in the projected schedule. For several reasons spelled out in the original post this was the best approach. That was obviously based on our vendors sticking to the schedule, which mostly happened, except for actions and a few barrels. It seems like the dates keep getting pushed out on longs and short mags. I have been assured that we will have the long and short mag bolt faces by the end of this week. That does leave out the standard bolt face long actions. I am awaiting the latest update on those and will post here as soon as I get that info. I don't want to guess at it.

In the meantime, we have begun pushing the shorts out at each available opportunity and you should see those popping up with more frequency as the week progresses. We know you guys are ready to get these things in hand, and we want you guys to KNOW that these builds will be high priority when the overdue components arrive. At this point in the schedule, we aren't even going to attempt to "batch" anything. We'll be pushing them through with the regular scheduled builds as parts arrive to minimize any further delays.

Thanks,
Robert

Not what I was wanting to hear, since I'm getting a .25-06 Ackley Improved, but it'll be worth the wait. In the meantime I can play with my new boat.

I will ablige you.

Not part of the group build. Found the A5 used on a great deal. Robert suggested I have Joe Ducos convert the cheek piece to adjustable so I did.

Axiom action with a 22 inch 8 twist Muller in 6.5 manbun and a jewel trigger. Seekins rings holding a Ziess V6 5-30.

They knocked the paint job out the park. Pictures don't do justicd.

Did you go with the low rings or mediums? Putting the exact same scope on mine. Looks great!

[Slick8]

That's medium rings but the base sits very low.

My other rifle has seekins low rings but the base is so tall that the scope actually sits higher.

I ordered mediums so I should be okay. They are on back order.
