Anyone else using StaBall 6.5 in their .300 WSM?
Works very well with 190 gr Speer Impacts in my Tikka.- ropeup79

Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?
How it should be done? Yes. What most people do? No. Most people using adapters are buying pre threaded ones and hoping everything lines up. -

Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?
Yes, the added shoulder is locked with red loctite or rockset then the face is squared to the bore. With regular adapters you have at least 2 sets of threads (barrel to adapter and adapter to suppressor) that can have enough thread clearance when added together to cause issues. Even if I was... -

Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?
The main reason for not using adapters is the chance of tolerance stacking causing baffle strikes or other problems. It’s probably not that common but it does happen. -

Corner crossing SCOTUS appeal
Most of the places I hunt are mostly public so if I am using tracking it’s because I just want to know how far I hiked. If and when I have an opportunity to cross a corner, I’ll use/not use tracking depending on situation. In my opinion ($.02) OnX will only prove that I tried my best to cross...- ropeup79

Corner crossing SCOTUS appeal
Even when there is a marker, OnX could show you are off of it by several meters. Personally I will turn off tracking, take a picture of the marker, then turn the tracking back on.

SILENCER/SUPPRESSOR?
There should be plenty of diameter to go 5/8x24 with a threaded collar added for a shoulder. Much better than an adapter and much less chance for tolerance stacking as can happen when using an adapter. Here is my Tikka 300 WSM at factory length and a video of the process. -

Question for the 30 cal guys
The 172 gr Speer Impacts could be a good combo. Should be able to get 2900-3000+fps. The 190 grainers shoot very well in my 300 WSM. -

Suppressor
No hands on experience and they look really nice but for Thunder Beast $$ I personally would have a hard time investing in an unknown brand. Their lightweight “hunting” can is not all that light. -

New rifle, barrel, or cut and thread existing
I think the most common recommendation is .1” barrel diameter over major thread diameter or .05” per side minimum. -

McMillan Mountain Tracker LR for Tikka
I haven’t held either of these but have seen some other Stocky’s stocks. They have been pretty nice especially for the price. The Peak 44 stocks look pretty good too. -

Basically the same as this. -

McMillan Mountain Tracker LR for Tikka
Their site makes it sound like it’s a lot of effort to make a Tikka version. I don’t have any skin in this game. I’m just letting people know that there is already a very similar option out there.
