    Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?

    Booked a dream build with them. They screwed up pretty much every aspect of the build (chamber, action nitriding, timeline), but the icing on the cake was that they KNEW the rifle chamber was FUBAR'd and they still shipped it. Even sent two "proof" rounds. It would not even chamber SAAMI factory...

    Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?

    Unknown is pretty much the Christensen Arms of quality control. They charge about 30% premium to do the work that a competent smith charges and ship out product that is embarrassingly poor quality. Find a good local smith, save money and frustration.

    New Truck MSRP discounts right now??

    I don't. But what do Toyotas have to do with me boycotting car companies run by a proud Nazi? If you're referring to Japanese being one of the Axis powers, Japan's emperor completely abdicated to the US, and we essentially controlled the rebuilding of their nation, including forging a pretty...

    New Truck MSRP discounts right now??

    My cousin is a Toyota salesman. He says he has less than 5 years before car salesman are gone. Making pretty good money wasting people's time in the mean time though...

    New Truck MSRP discounts right now??

    Easy button is to go to Granger Motors out of Iowa. Just build/spec out the truck you want, download the build sheet PDF and email that to them. They'll get you an OTD price that's usually about 5% below INVOICE. Very low add-on bloat fees too. They might also offer steep discounts on in-stock...

    6.8 Western Accuracy Expectations Unrealistic?

    Brand new Tikka 6.5 Creed chopped to 17.5". Four rounds to sight in and next 20 rounds here with factory Berger ammo. Shoots just like my other 4,000 Tikkas that I tell my wife I need.

    T-Satellite - Any Experience?

    They actually just announced that it (Starlink) would support several apps for low-bandwidth data. I'm guessing things like weather app, whatsapp, etc.

    Electronic ear plugs

    The caveat is that the electronic noise cancelling function of the Airpods isn't meant for rapid excursions in noise (probably). However, the new Airpods Pro 3 have really great tight fitting earbud material that really seals in my ears compared to my Axils. Basically, they're much better ear...

    Electronic ear plugs

    I have Axil's. Meh. They're serviceable. I recently got Apple Airpod Pro 3's. I think these are the ticket, especially for someone like you with hearing damage. Their noise cancelling outdoors (weird reverb when I shoot inside a little tunnel hut but that's an edge case) is better than my...

    T-Satellite - Any Experience?

    I have it. It has replaced my Garmin, but it's not perfect. My primary issue is that I've hunted areas that are on the fringe of service, and my phone cannot decide whether I should have one bar of service, SOS only (new iphone iridium text feature) or Starlink. If you could tell your phone...

    Barrel fan

    With a foot of cheap high temp fuel line from Oreilly's jammed into the chamber. I find that if you really want to maximize heat transfer you can block the muzzle end airflow a bit/randomly. This increases turbulence inside and thus increases heat transfer for a given mass flow rate. Laminar...

    We aren’t going to tolerate racism or racist themed posts.

    These type of posts are why I refuse to participate on ArcheryTalk - their off-topic forum is a cesspool for Nazi sympathizers.

    SD card reader recommendations

    Probably can't do any better than the OEM Apple SD card reader if you're having issues with aftermarket. Edit - looks like those are phasing out, but here's one: https://www.shopokstate.com/p-53873-apple-lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader.aspx
