Sputnik Wrote:Received my Neptune V barrel with a Bartlein upgrade. It was ready to ship 4 weeks after ordering. This after cancelling my AA upper order I made in April, with no end in sight. Mark's customer service is unsurpassed, as he responded quickly to several questions I had about the upper. Oh, the upper? It is easily more capable than I am. Many groups at 1/2 MOA at 100 yards with factory 123 gr Amax and SST with several rounds in the group touching each other. The Factory ammo were one MOA at 200 yards with lateral separation from a slight crosswind; otherwise it would have been better groups. I shot 6 rounds inside a 1.5 inch circle with a reloads of 30.6 gr of CFE-223 during a calm wind; the 7th round spread it to 1.75 inches; 8, 9 & 10 were ah-sh*ts (my flinches), or wind...yeah blame the wind! For me these results are fantastic! My shooting partner says the extra money for the Bartlein barrel was well worth it!
What length are you running and what diameter is the barrel at the GB? Just wondering what the weight aspect is but man that sounds great...
