My 22/250 VLS Remington finally gave up the ghost. Throat is really burned out. I looked all over for a replacement, nothing but Axis II's around. So I said, what the heck, lets rebarrel this one.
So I order from Jim at Northland Shooters Supply a Criterion 22/250 Remage barrel 1/9 twist, the nut, the machined lug the wrench and the tool that holds the lug. It came in 4 days later and it is beautiful. This deal with NSS was a great experience.
Then I'm thinking about spotting this new barrel and lug into my stock. So I says to myself, " Garry, Garry, you never liked that stock in the first place." So what do I do but order a KRG Bravo chassis stock. And while I'm looking what the heck the adjustable butt pad, not the polymer one, no, the aluminum one. That would have come in Friday but Fedex delayed and it came today.
Now it's head slammed into a wall time. On the 16th I ordered the barrel vice from Optics planet. Then on the 18th I was thinking about the project and decided I didn't want to use my Sightron SII 6-24 dot scope. So I ordered a Vortex 6-24x50 Diamondback Tactical FFP Riflescope, then an extended Weaver base. A couple hours later I remembered I needed 30mm rings, ordered that. Let me point out, they all said in stock and all said ships in 1-4 days.
Check on it Wednesday. The order on the vice and the order on the scope and base both show "processing" the rings show "Shipped". I sent them an E-mail and in three minutes got a form letter as a reply. Asked again Friday and again got the same form letter. The I find out that shipped seems to mean they printed the label, not that it left the facility. It still says "Ready for Pickup" as it has for several days.
Let me note something, they took the money from my account in two hours. No delay in that.
Gotta think this is the last with Optics Planet.
