On a different note, I will be doing a bullet guide on the 194 Apex over on LRO, after hopefully two more elk, probably early 2025.

Hey Cody - What did you end up finding for optimum bullet jump and what is the overall cartridge length with the 194 Apex in your 30 Nosler?

.070" off, and around 3.850" OAL? I don't have the exact number in front of me, I'll try to get it later

@codyadams
I have built a shorter range version of your build on my own ideas. Same XLR set up, short action .308 for now, I'm not shooting as far as you, yet lol. Long action sitting in the safe waiting for the day the short is holding me back.

First trip out, the carbon fiber stock tube started getting a tiny bit loose in the action. About to work on it, any tips or tricks now that you have some time on it?
Also, I went with the short stock but the folder was OOS. Finally just got it delivered. How are you liking LOP with the folder? Did you go long or short stock?
Great build, thanks for sharing.

Glad you got yourself an elk! Congrats!
