I’m looking at my 97k - not done anything to it and was looking to improve on the Vortek but I’m not sure that I’ll get that with another make of drop in kit, Having my 80 Glided & guided by Shauny, it’s up there with the Vortex kit on my other 80’s, better probably, had to tell, I probably need a bit of a shootout between them.
The appeal of the Vortek kits are the lack of heating and compressing the spring, then having to match a set of guides - not that it bothers me but the Vortek kits usually require a coil or 2 removing with a neat file & sand on the cut and it’s back together again, all are running Britseals all round - that combination seems to work and has been consistent across several rifles.
