What cartridge? Mine does pretty well, but I wrapped it in silicone tape followed by vet wrap followed by camo form.

Son of a biscuit. I paid Capitol $160 to handle the transfer and paperwork on mine. Nice to see them carrying unknown stuff though!One other factor, even though it goes against the choice I made, is that you can get the US OG through Capitol Armory and not pay additional FFL transfer fees. I pre-ordered an Airlock and all local FFL's I contacted for the transfer charge at least $125, so the price comes out a lot closer to even. OG 6.5 will probably be my next one but I'll have to buy another rifle first.

It’s very recent development, like within the last week. If they’d had them in-stock on Capitol on the 1st when I pre-ordered my Airlock 7, that might’ve tipped the scale for me.

Ordered a 6.5 OG from Capitol Armory this morning.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will be here for spring bear season.

Please update, I’m triangulated between the OG, Airlock, and waiting on new tech at a cheaper price… as I am a tight ass.

I bet it will be. Do you have to send in prints still? They have been about a month to my door from CA once they had my stuff on file.

Yes, they already had the fingerprint card in the mail to me by this afternoon.

Little follow-up. Got to shoot my OG65 (and new Seekins) for the first time today. I’m very happy with both.
First off, there were no weird balance issues with the OG screwed to the end of the rifle—I think the 4” reflex really helps with that. It handles like a regular rifle—not like a rifle with a big weight hanging off of the muzzle.
I shot a few rounds without hearing protection just to see what it was like, and it made the 6.5 PRC sound pretty comparable to 22lr. I wouldn’t shoot a full range session like that, but for hunting applications it will be awesome.
But I was particularly pleased with the way the OG dampened (or changed?) the recoil of the rifle. It was more of a rolling thud than a crack, and pretty minimal at that, and I found I was able to watch my shots on paper.
Definitely happy with my purchase.

How was your accuracy? I’ve been on the fence with a new suppressor as my current suppressor appears to make my rifle just a bit more accurate. However it hangs 7” off the barrel and I’d prefer less out hunting. (It’s a Thunderbeast Magnus-K)
Hence maybe the OG?

What power were you at when you were able to see your bullet strikes?
That should be an awesome setup!

Well, this was my first time shooting the new rifle so I was just sighting in and shooting an initial ladder looking for pressure, so I can’t really compare it one way or the other. But this was the first four shots of the ladder test:
And this was all 12 shots, so I think accuracy is going to be pretty solid in this rifle with the OG65:

15x. It wasn’t every shot, but when my form was just right it was happening. Never experienced that before besides with a 22. Pretty neat.

Drop down to 6-8x and you’ll see more.

Thats really cool. I see it in our suppressed 6cm. First time I did it was like a fly landed on the target.
With my 7prc I have to be below 10x to see it but I still miss it a lot.

Now I’ve found the Deadair OTB… hmmm… does anyone know anything?
Sounds like you need to use one of their brakes with it which is a huge turn off for me

This. Unless the brake allows it to be a lot more efficient. It has to add unnecessary weight.
