[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 1883517"] For clarity from Joel on Snipershide “I’ll be happy to answer the “elephant in the room question “ what’s the difference? First off, I own the print to the Vector. And since I own it, I decided to run a small batch of the original design, and change nothing other than the name to Zeus.. While that was in process, I was spending time redesigning the other prints. I changed the Apollo, Apollo Lite/Ti, and the Helios to a .725” bolt. This eliminated the issue with the cocking piece receiver interface most common on the naked 416 ss actions, gave more lug surface area, and eliminated the mag hitting the bolt body due to the large .750” od bolt. I redesigned the cocking piece so the bolt lift is smoother, and the cocking piece does not wear away the receiver while cocking the action. I changed some geometry on the lugs themselves. I also added threaded trigger pins, so no more using a hammer and punch to switch triggers with a $4k optic mounted on the action. I am in the process adding these changes to the Zeus. I have a small batch of the original design Zeus in stock and availability for immediate delivery while I wait on the updated inventory. The updated Zeus should be available in a few weeks. The tennon is exactly the same as the Vector. I believe in complete transparency and I am always available to talk to should you have any additional questions. Feel free to call the number on the website. I pride myself on my customer service.” (Russo, 2019) [/QUOTE]
