Afternoon all, I’m about to swap out my old geovids for a new set and likely to go to the 3200.com because they’re fairly easy to get hold of and there’s no messing about with SD cards.. I’ve got a few questions that I can’t seem to get an answer for off the internet.. so hoping other users might be able to help.. I've downloaded the app to have a play with the custom BDC profile creator. Apart from it being G1 for BC and no multi-BC options (can’t see a way to change to G7?), it seems fairly straight forward and matches my dope and verified strelok profile.. shame it’s in metric and you can’t pick and choose your units for all of them.. I’m making an assumption but I guess the 3200.com HD-B’s have a pressure and temperature sensor built in as well as angle, so these are all taken care of when you ping the target and it gives you a solution taking these parameters into account? Another question, the 3200’s range out to 3200yds in the right conditions, but the ballistic profile creator only shows drops out to 1000.. I appreciate that if shooting past that, you’d likely be back into strelok but do the binos give you an elevation solution past 1000 or just turn into a basic range finder? im not getting the 3200s because I need to range that far or need drops that far but just trying to gather a bit of info so I can make a more informed decision.. last question.. I’ve always run 8x56 but think I’ll end up going 8x42 due to weight.. ive had little experience with the x42s but there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference in terms of FoV. Anybody compared the two in low light conditions?

A mate, whose on here and myself ordered and have recently received an AG composites stock each. Really liked the fact that they offered specific inlets for actions and bottom metals, their quality and the look. As well as the short lead time. The slightly off putting thing was the fact that they don’t ship outside the US. When challenged on this, the response was because they had all on keeping up with demand in the US. They make carbon stocks for the higher end Weatherby setups and have a good rep in the US. we ended up dealing with ‘Pam’ over there rather than ordering through the website and the customer service was great. I did follow up with an email to them asking if they would consider shipping to the UK in the future, but didn’t get a response. We shipped to a mate who lives on that side of the pond and he shipped them to us. my stock was for a R700 LA and I hadn’t decided on the DBM at the time of ordering, so ended up having to have it inletted and bedded (superb job done through Steve Kershaw), Baldie had kindly offered to do this for me, but the rifle was in for other work at Steve’s anyways, so he did the lot, made a really good job and a quick turn around. The other stock for a mate was for a Stiller with HSP DBM, it fitted like a glove. Ive not actually shot mine yet as I’ve only just got it back after inletting and bedding, but really like the feel and the quality. I like the fairly high comb on the non adjustable and the fairly ‘hand filling’ palm swell. I’ll post some better pics when I’ve had it out..

@Big Al thank you for some really informative and unbiased, fact based information. It’s really good. I’ve not heard about measuring the .200 bit before and wondered if you could explain some logic behind it? I bump my shoulders in a Forster die and do it for chambering more than anything but really keen to learn more about what I should be looking for apart from the basic headspace measurement, TIA, FFM
