Terminus Zeus Switch Barrel Return To Zero - Does it work?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Like I said, these groups are not a good representation of the accuracy of the system, BUT the zero returns quite well. Thoughts?

[@jaredanderson2009]

The next custom action I buy will for sure be a terminus!

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

You will like it.

[@toddb930]

I'm impressed.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Cool. Thanks for watching.

[@billcarlson852]

Next video compare the terminus Zeus to accuracy international????? I just purchased a terminus Zeus switch barrel. I am going to run the creed trio. 6.5, 6, 22 Creedmoor family on top of MDT elite chassis Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.

[@beyondtwominutes]

Very nice! I was told this system doesnt work. Well clearly it does just fine!

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

It does! Thanks for watching.

[@matthewthompson634]

I’m assuming the barrels have to be made specifically for this quick change action correct?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

yes. they are readily available from a number of manufacturers. Straight Jacket Armory for example.

[@ericmccowen5599]

Thanks for the video. Those actions are awesome. Definitely on my wish list.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Thanks for watching!

[@rogersmaland7077]

Very good video, when it comes to precision after taking the barrel off you should look at the Blaser R8...can also take the scope off and there will be no impact point change.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Cool. Thanks for watching.

[@TheTyrider427]

would love to see an action comparison video! from another MO dude- STL

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

@@TheTyrider427 good idea 👍

[@Accuracy1st]

As if I won a massive lottery, I DID GET MY Terminus Zeus QC long action, left hand, with 2 bolts, mag and standard. LOTS of rifles coming in the near future. Should have my MDT chassis system in the next couple weeks I think

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Nice! 👍

[@Rob-100]

I have a Terminus action on a MTD Acc chassis did not get the switch barrel one. But I wish I had.

[@toddodle8688]

You may not see this but I am curious about your comment. Based on the long action with 2 bolts, does this open you up to basically any caliber?

[@Accuracy1st]

@@toddodle8688 Yep. Any long action magnum, short action magnum, long action standard bolt face, short action standard bolt face. With this action and both bolts I can barrel up and shoot anything I'm interested in: 6 and 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5-284 Norma, 708, 308, 260AI, 270 Win, 280 Rem, 280AI, 30-06, 6.5-06, 7RemMag, 300WM, any PRC including my new 270-7PRC, 300WSM, 300RUM, 338Edge and on and on

[@toddodle8688]

@@Accuracy1st now this is amazing news! May be the way to go for sure! Is it just a longer bolt cycle for shot action rounds? I don't honestly think it would make a difference but what are your thoughts?

[@terrycole7753]

Has anyone ever run this type of test on a torqued barrel?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Good question. I'm not sure. I haven't seen one.

[@prone_wolf8871]

Benches guys change their barrels lots. But I'm not sure if they did poi shift testing.... In theory if your using a torque wrench it should be pretty repeatable...like scopes in rings...... I'm going to be testing using fix it Stix for a light torque value to see if that changes much from just hand tight

[@KevinWood44]

Did you make the updated video changing caliber yet? (not busting you balls if you didn't I just can not find it) Thx

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Not that I remember. Sorry. Freaking busy.

[@KevinWood44]

@@PrecisionRifleNetwork haha Its all good Im not bad at ya lol Id just love to see how it does w diff calibers

[@djalluget6870]

God video. Very impressive

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Thanks Deej.

[@williamsweet7511]

Terminus Zeus vs Areo Solus, which would you pick?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Still the Terminus for me because I never have to headspace when I switch barrels and calibers. Two little set screws is as easy as it gets! The Solus, like all “savage small shank” style barrels, needs to be torqued and headspaced properly each time. That’s not super difficult to do, it’s just a lot of extra steps.

[@prone_wolf8871]

Terminus.....much better control with one guy checking everything then hourly employees.....

[@usernameisaname]

Terminus gets my vote, easy to set up and Joel (the owner) is a very nice guy and very easy to work with. Aero hasn't been in great standing as of late with quality control and customer service (at least in their AR department)

[@viking9934]

I love my Zeus but I’m having feeding issue with my Dasher and 12 rnd MDT mags…

[@prone_wolf8871]

My mdts work well with Creedmoor, no experience with dasher. My chassis has an adjustable mag catch. Can yours be adjusted ?

[@viking9934]

@@prone_wolf8871 No it’s not adjustable but it’s not the height, as I can’t go higher otherwise I’ll block the bolt travel and lower would be way to low. It’s a Dasher thing I guess… I need to try the ARC mag

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Dasher mags almost always need to be tuned to feed correctly.

[@viking9934]

@@PrecisionRifleNetwork I’d love to see you make an episode with Joel from Terminus about that

[@prone_wolf8871]

@viking9934 I actually want to build a 6mm arc cause it's so accurate in my gas guns, I want to see what it can do in a good bolt rig

[@prone_wolf8871]

This rifle shoots much better then shown. Yes, there is a shift in my test....but with the shift, it's only about half inch off of poa... and returns after 5 shots.... You can literally watch it walk back to zero in 5..... I literally remove my barrel to put in a case for transport....no issues. Terminus is excellent and Joel the owner is a good dude... 👍 I'm trying to test a method to use fixit Stix to tighten my barrel instead of my hand so it's more consistent.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Thanks for watching

[@maxcopple8187]

No such thing as absolute return to zero. Even the AI system has an MOA shift. Not bad at all. Especially since you can build the terminus system out for much less.

[@prone_wolf8871]

The shift only matters for the first shot....my terminus returns perfectly after 5 shots in a semi predictable way.... I discussed this with Joel the owner of terminus and told him I'd be removing my barrel every shooting trip. He said no problem as long as I had a good barrel...

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I agree with you. 👍

[@tiputipu777]

Smacking the end of the barrel on the scope, woopsie ;). I'd love to own a terminus, too bad nobody imports them to Winland

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

😂 was hoping no one would notice. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jasonrad9332]

I actually had to go rewatch a couple times and slow it down since I usually watch 2x speed to see. I’m sure some PRS props will end up doing much worse😉

[@j.t.patton7820]

The Savage barrel system is much more robust. Remage barrels FTW.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

You have to headspace and torque correctly every time. I don’t have to do that with Terminus. Each to their own tho.

[@rustyshackelfordiii5665]

AIs method is way better…

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

It’s basically the same. I have an AI as well. I guess an argument could be made. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@newerest1]

​​​@@PrecisionRifleNetworkwhat would the argument even be? AI is better because it has two set screws? I might be confusing it with the barret mrad
