Boy.. I can understand the prices of these top level components but the lead times are extremely depressing.
Drug the ol lady out to watch this and show her there was someone spending more on the this than I am... didn't see any tears!
Thanks for the video!
Watching while having morning coffee with the wife again this morning. Very glad you didn't mention the price on the Borden actions 😢. Conversely, showing the March prices made my Nightforce seem like a pretty inexpensive scope 😂
I like F3R scope mounts. But you’re right. Never in stock.😢
Thank you John.excellent presentation. Congrats on winning.
Thank you kindly
Love this! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Your channel is great. Thank you for sharing
So nice of you
Thanks for the knowledge share!
You bet!
Been waiting for this video!!
I hope it answers your questions.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
Thank you, you too!!
I am glad you laid this out so I know now I could never compete with anything I own. I would have to get a bank loan to even entertain the idea of being able to compete.
I'm sure you could compete fine at the local level.
Amazing video. I wish more F-Class shooters would share this info, like in the "What the Pros use" articles for PRS & ELR. Thanks for sharing your incredible experience and time-served knowledge. Do you think you could follow it up with a "What I've spent on my F-Class adventure" or "How many bullets, brass, barrels, actions etc used to date" video? It would help with explaining to the bank why I'm getting that 2nd mortgage.....
Keep making great content. Much appreciated.
Thank you for the kind words. Here's a video I did a while ago about the cost of a national level match you might like. ruclips.net/video/EkcvtcdUsU0/видео.html
John, I see from the F-Open finals almost everyone is using Borden. What are your thoughts on Defiance, is Borden that much better? I always like the idea of Defiance having everything integral, recoil lug, scope base but I don't know why we don't see more of them in the finals.
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I am shamelessly stealing a couple of items here for my setup: (1) one piece scope rings; (2) scope level; and (3) the ammo caddy. Thanks for posting this overview!
Glad it helps and thanks for watching.
Wow Gear is so cheap in the US , Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
I love the transparency with all your gear and methods ! Have you moved away from using the app press?
Yes but only because I'm using the Dillon for everything. I still think it's a great press for a lot of people.
Wow. My Christmas wish list just got longer 😂
🤣
Thanks for the sharing! Incredibly useful resource, amazing job! Just wanted to clarify what reticle are you using in your Majesta? And could you please also share your thoughts on why exactly that reticle and not the others? Thanks again!
I’m glad it helps. As for my reticle, I’m using the W1 reticle because I like simple reticles and the w1 is a simple crosshair with a target dot.
Congratulations on winning the nationals quite an accomplishment!!! Do you not use your amp press ? Thanks
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah it gets used but I keep it covered.
Hi John, can you do a review on the Cortina bullet sorting die
Yeah it's on the board and coming up in the next couple weeks.
Now measure shoulder bump after each type of process. On thinner brass I get inconsistent shoulder bump with expander ball pulling the case neck instead of pushing with a
Mandrel
Yeah exactly. That why I haven’t used an expander balls for close to 8 years.
Thank u for these vids ❤… If u had to recommend either 21st century vs k&m arbor press for seating, which would it be? Thanks in advance 🙏🙏
If you're talking standard 21st or K&M I would definitely go with K&M for any number of reasons. If it's the larger 21st then you have decide if want to travel with it or not. The 21st have a larger level and plate so some people prefer the leverage but it's a bigger unit and the hydro unit could be damaged in travel. In any event, for my needs the K&M is my pick no matter where or how I use it.
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, John. The website is looking great. What would you say are the differences between the Dima 5-7 and the Dima G5? I cant find info amywhere.
From what I know the G5 is a lighter stock and slimmer through the body. It's basically one long taper instead of the meatiness of the 5-7. Both should perform great, more of a preference than anything. He's great answering emails so I'd give him a shout and he can give you more answers for sure.
Hey John, great videos, what program are you using to track your shots on the computer or iPad? Ive seen it before but can't seem to find it. thank you in advance, have a happy holidays
Thank you. I'm using the shotmarker system. autotrickler.com/pages/shotmarker
Congrats on the win! I’m upgrading from a Trijicon 4.5-30 for 600 yard competition off a bench. Would you save for the majestic or grab the 5-50 tenmile if your current budget was 3k?
I’d say you’re smack in the middle of that decision. You have more than enough for the TenMile as it’s under 2k but need to save another thousand or so for the Majesta. You can’t go wrong either way and only you know your abilities and monetary thresholds. Many are in the boat of getting the TenMile and putting the other $1300 towards components to practice but if you feel you need just a little more in a scope then save up. But seriously, both are amazing for their respective price points so neither should leave you feeling like you made a bad choice as long as you’re honest with yourself.
@@FClassJohn thank you for the reply. Can’t agree more. New hotness is always attractive. Think I’ll go for the tenmile route. Been watching your channel since I started learning this sport. Thanks for showing the loss as much as you show the wins. Really helped me learn and feel good about making mistakes as long as they make me better.
@@donniepollard8441 Thank you and glad it helps. Here's a link to where I bought my TenMiles and they have the best prices that I'm aware of alnk.to/faAi030
Is your borden action a single shot or repeater?
My only suggestion is on your website with the links.
This would be a royal headache for me. If the company changes the webpage where the product you are trying to link is located your link will die.
Unless you know something about the web that I don’t and I promise you I’m not a IT guy at all. I just foresee this being a constant check and update.
What I’ve in the past was just post the product and the supplier/manufacturer and let the user figure it out.
But if you know a better way. Please fill me in.
Take care John. I appreciate everything you do for us fledgling shooters.
I don't disagree but will manage for now however long term I'll most likely just link to the home page.
Is there a reason to choose the Henderson over Giraud? It seems the Giraud cutting off the shoulder would reduce tolerance stacking. I ask because I'm in the market to pick one up. Thanks, happy Thanksgiving!
Both are fantastic machines and you'd be happy with either. Maybe this can help ruclips.net/video/cAp9a5-f04I/видео.html
Happy Thanksgiving, John! What mods have you made to your 750 for primer seating?
I'll probably have to do a video because it's tough to explain and several people have asked. But basically I have the armanov block on the left side amzn.to/49N3HkK and then I modify the priming mechanism on the right side so it sits lower.
@@FClassJohn thanks, John. Looking forward to your video.
John, how is the weight of the Dima stock compared to a ZR stock? My ZR is now pushing extremely close to the limit with the Majesta.
I don't have the ZR anymore but they were always the heavier stocks I had so I'd have to believe most wood stocks would be lighter including Dima. That being said avoid heavy wood like purple heart, wenge and some other African or South African hardwoods because they're very heavy. Also if you want a lighter Dima I would avoid the 5-7 line and go with more of the G6 or G5 line as they are slimmer.
Hi John, great website! What are you using for a spotting scope stand?
Thank you and thank you for pointing out that I forgot the stand setup. I've added a section on the website here www.fclassjohn.com/what-i-use with the links to the three pieces that make up my stand. I like this option because it's easy to travel and I can use it in prone or stand it up and use it in a chair.
Thanks John! I'm always traveling so this will be a great setup!@@FClassJohn
@@johnkennedy6331 It does take a little getting used to in order to get the setup stable but once you get it figured out it's easy to work with.
If you are going through 5-7 barrels a year, where are you getting Berger 180's to shoot that much? I suspect you and Cortina et al have an inside track to Berger that no one else has access to, because no one who is a regular Joe is finding 180s or 184s anywhere.
You realize, they probably order 10-20k bullets at a time?
Yeah, from where? 7 barrels shooting .284 is 10,000 rounds. So that's this year. Where last year could anyone order 10-15 thousand 180s? Or the year before?
