cheers

There are a few floating about now able to be bought as stock only

@AR7 sounds like this week or early next week. Even the 'stocks only' require the Carbon Fiber bits.
Definately looking forward to getting my phone call! I will drop everything I am doing and drive straight there to collect.

Sounds like I need to find a pistol grip though! I had thought this was included.

Didn’t think about the pistol grip myself. Makes sense as it can be a very personalised item regarding fit. DeltaMikes down our way have a good selection so at least I can try a few on the chassis before I buy one. Won’t be long now for those of us in the que.

Ordered mine yesterday.

Still havn't heard about mine. According to Dave, I am supposedly first in the que for this 2nd batch!

All the pre orders should be ready to pick up on Monday. Some of the custom builds are still awaiting a few parts.

Ordered. Amazing piece of engineering Wingman.

I’ve opted a 6.5 Grendel with a 12inch barrel carbon sleeved. Wondering how have you found the 10.5 Inch barrel? Have you lost much velocity going that short or noticed any other disadvantages?

Good on ya mate, I'm sure you will love it.

Disadvantages? No. I handload 120gr ELMs and 120gr Targex pills (which I highly recomend in the Grendel) so claw back most of the lost velocity with good component choice. I'm sure all my mates I hunt with can confirm, the 10.5" Grendel has been a stone cold killer.. nothing runs away.
The the lighter jacket 120gr nearly always dump 100% of thier energy on the animal not just zip through.
The consistant accuracy gives methe confidence to head and neck shoot everything so not to loose too much meat.
Here's a pic of a fallow I hit front on low in the neck at about 130m, it smashed the spine and grenaded between the shoulder blades.. these bullets don't need a lot of speed to deliver good terminal damage.

Can confirm, Wingmans 10" is impressive

agree. It does indeed.

Be like saying @Mintie has a sweet taste

I pesonally carried @Wingman’s ten inch up a hill and i can attest that hat it is effective… his ten inch is very easy to COCK and fire an buckles anything its fired at including slightly young does at dawn…….
I liked his ten inch so much , i hung it round my neck…..

Might need to call it Ron
