BAT Mavrick, have you tried it?

[bichettereds]

For some reason, I have lost my tuning touch with 133. The lot I have is 2022, it seems a little fast, as just 30.1 grains results in 3450. I am satisfied with the LT-32, so I am not in panic mode.

You must have 0029.

That’s surprising.

I’ve been using 0077 and it’s actually a tad slower than the ‘19 and ‘21 lots I’ve used.

0029 is as a wild child.

Hmmmm, no seen it yet; but I do remember Bart Maverick from the old 70's show*...

Loved that show even though I thought he was a coward at times. Never looked for trouble.

Okay, this thread has gotten off track as many do here, I'm wondering about 1st hand knowledge of the BAT Mavrick, being shorter than the Neuvo it should be stiffer, correct?
Thanks guys!

Anyone? Experience with the Mavrick? Thinking of building one. @Alex Wheeler

Two shooters I compete with bought one. I cycled them both, and they felt decent. A little stiffer than my DS's, but they have been cycled a few thousand times. I need another gun like I need a hole in the head, but if I do build another one, it will be with the maverick. Chopping 8oz off the gun opens up a lot of options.

Well, I done what I said I wanted to do and that is sell off some comp guns, problem is I still have a new Mavrick and Neuvo. Do I sell one and build one (which one?) OR sell off both and really get familiar with what I have? I want to get better, read the wind better and shoot better. Help an old man out, what would you do?

Sell all the guns but two and then buy more barrels for those two. Buy a barrel vice, action wrench, and torque wrench if you don’t have them so you can swap barrels quickly and easily. Then shoot the barrels until they stop shooting and replace them. I replace two barrels a year.

What stock are you going to put it in?

I have a Bruno/McMillian carbon HV, I plan on it being a 13.5 lb gun.

Only you know what makes you happiest. Having known equipment stresses me less. And having known good components in bulk comes in a close second.

Sunday in church, reading the Bible, LEARNING the Bible, having a close relationship with my family and friends, that's what makes me happiest!!
Oh wait, you're talking about guns and gun things. I agree, the 3 comp guns will shoot better than me, I've shot 2 of them in competition last year and had some problems, problems are solved (I hope and think) and I think this may be my best year ever!!
