    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    What was interesting in the case of this 308 is that it’s shot anything and everything I’ve ever loaded for it into tiny groups (Ballistic Tips, Scenars, TTSX, Hornady Interlocks, etc.) - except this particular 165 AB load. I decided to give them one more go before pulling the bullets and...

    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    Sample of 2 I recently had cut and threaded. Tikka factory 6.5CM from 24” to 18”. 35fps per inch loss with 2 different proven hand loads (Hornady 130 ELDM and Barnes 127 LRX) Was a bit shocked to see that much loss. Custom .308 Win with a Lilja barrel from 22” to 18”. 24fps per inch loss...

    SOLD - SWFA Gen 1 6x42 Mil-Quad

    Updated: Figured this would have been gone quick and now realize they’re available again from SWFA, which makes sense, so trying this again and reducing the price further. As title says. SWFA 6x42 Mil-Quad with Butler Creek flip up covers. This is the original model, with factory box...

    $350 Scope Recommendations

    No direct experience with the Diavari but I had a 3.5-10x44 like you reference. I sent it back to Zeiss to have an elevation turret added. Why I sold that scope I don’t know, but I regret it. Only other direct Zeiss experience I have is with a 3-9x40 Conquest MC that’s been on several rifles...

    $350 Scope Recommendations

    I’ve owned two of them and still have one in service. They punch well above their price point. If the lenses are good it would be a solid option that I’d definitely take over the first two options you listed.

    Nitriding or something else for surface treatment?

    I was going to post the same. There doesn’t appear to be any updated information on their website. I’ve had 3 rifles done by them, the oldest having been done in the early 2000’s and it has held up extremely well. There’s some minor wear on the bolt and floor plate, but corrosion has been a non...

    BHA on HQ

    This is exactly how I felt the back and forth went on the topic of survey responses to crowding and the attempt to correlate it to walleye fishing in the Midwest. First thing that came to mind.

    Rifle Caliber Recommendation - 270/308/30-06

    Find the rifle and platform you want, pick whichever caliber you can get the best deal on, match it to the appropriate bullet for the job and rock on. Not a nickel’s worth of difference in the three for what you’re looking for.

    Cow elk rifle

    I think it’s the same people that shoot Rage Hypodermic broadheads, because that’s the same thing I hear in archery circles.

    6.5 Creedmoor Peak

    This will be awesome for the 6.5 Creedmoor YouTube snipers. Now they can shoot up to 5 miles.

    First lite gear

    I’ve got multiple pieces from Sitka, FL, and Kuiu as well as several non-hunting specific brands. I buy clothing based on the specific need and don’t really care who makes it, or a camo pattern, so long as it is quality. That said, if I were comparing my 10 year old FL to current Sitka and Kuiu...

    Garret Pinpoint for tungsten?

    Do a search on Oldgobbler.com. There have been some good discussions in the past on this topic. I’ve been handholding TSS for the past 10 years and keep going back and forth on continuing for the simple reason of I love eating wild turkey and despite tight patterns and head shots, pellets...

    P_ham Rem 700 makeover

    That turned out nice and I share the feeling on B&C stocks. I know a lot of people like them, but not my thing. Good luck at the range.

    Turkeys

    Yes, take the whole bird. Do everything possible to keep as much blood off the feathers, including covering the head with a plastic bread bag or newspaper bag and tucking it under a wing. The taxidermist can save all the meat and give it to you, but be sure to tell them that’s what you want. If...

    Turkeys

    It’s always time nowadays. Got one on me hiking on Christmas Eve. Seems the least little bump above freezing and they are active. I despise them.

    308 165gr bullets speed

    Similar to the two posts above I get around 2750 with 165’s out of a 22” Lilja with Varget.

    Long time comin’

    Nice work and always fun and rewarding when a project delivers good results. I’ve always wanted a Model 7 for a handy treestand rifle.

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    I shoot Sportsmatch rings direct to the receiver and my buddy has the Unknown Munitions rings. I have removed my scope before and remounted it with no change in zero - merely a sample of one but enough to impress me.
