The makings of a fun new plinker.

Waiting on trigger group from none other than Gadgetsrfun a TandemKross trigger kit, gotta pick up my carbon barrel Saturday and hogue stock coming on Friday. Monday afternoon I’ll be sighting her in in the back yard.

Now the dilemma…. Is an aftermarket bolt actually worth the $$$???

Well, IMHO they are because of the aesthetics of a custom bolt AND charging handles. Yes, I have a good number of Ruger Logo bolts, but they take on a whole new character when they have a paisley scroll or a flag or something like that. I'm not much into the in-your-face "sayings" many of them have, but I do like the different designs, like flags, etc.

My go-to are the JWH Custom bolts. Great customer service and very well done. https://jwhcustom.com/

Those look nice but man they have horrible customer service according to the internet.

I my save my pennies and buy a DLC coated Volquartzen. But $300 is steep!

They do have a blemished bolt for $200 that's pretty tempting....

I have now had 2. Neither have been impressive. Tunneling, edge distortion and chromatic aberration are my main complaints. For reference, I've had the EP 5-25 and the EP 1-8. Got rid of the 5-25 almost immediately, still have the 1-8 on a 10/22 for the kids to use if you want to see for yourself.

It’s ok. I like the look, reticle, image size, and turrets. The CA on the EP5 kills me though. We used the SH4 4-16 at mammoth with good success, but they aren’t “jus az gud” as upper tier offerings. Definitely get the job done as a new shooter.
