    Help me build a rifle

    I disagree with carbon. Weights are about the same and they hold heat more. Carbon six orders are about one year out. I have a couple proof and a carbon six barrels on tikkas and will go exclusively back to slim profile steel in the future. Just as light and much cheaper.

    Help me build a rifle

    anything with a standard bolt face. I recommend a 6.5 creed or 1:8 twist 243 since those barrels will sell for about $100. Preferred barrel blanks for a 25 Creed prefit.

    Help me build a rifle

    Do you just want to shoot out past 1,000 yds, or are you wanting something lethal on big game out to 1,000 yds? No reason to swap any barrels IMO. My 18" Tikka 6.5 Creed is lethal out to 800 yds at my altitude with reloads. Factory ammo is definitely enough to shoot out to 1,000 yds. This is...

    Is this the guy that claims to be able to ship smokeless powder and attacks anyone that points out that's illegal? What other drama is he working up?

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

    Did they test that as the solution? I lost that thread but they were even talking about a new design with a different mounting mechanism.

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

    Also, not sure they have fixed it, but despite the bulk Unknown Munitions has stated their rings are only appropriate for 7PRC and lower cartridges. Apparently their recoil pins were bending with 30 cal magnums. Surprising to hear for me as I have several pair and they seem rock solid. Given...

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

    Two things here - some scopes have thicker/more robust main tubes that allow increased ring torque. Not all brands or even models within a brand are created equal. Separately, and independent of main tube thickness, is the demonstrated ability of those scopes to actually hold zero after...

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

    Just a PSA - pretty much the only issues reported with Tikkas come from aftermarket trigger springs allowing them to slam-fire, or fire when taking the rifle off safety. This has been a documented and experimentally proven issue. My recommendation is to leave the trigger alone except for...

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

    Not if you run a quality scope like Nightforce, Trijicon, Maven RS 1.2 (specifically), SWFA. WIth decent rings and 25-30 in-lbs of torque you'll be good.

    Need help with understanding my groups

    Check suppressor is tight, check action screws. Were scope bases/rings properly mounted with degreased screws and a torque wrench? 10 round groups are the minimum I trust for a solid zero. Same ammo lot if using different boxes? Lot to lot factory ammo can be dramatically different.

    Looking for a travel trailer

    I'm not taking any fast turns when towing my RV anyway. Does anyone have links on these supposedly common wrecks? I've never heard of one...

    Looking for a travel trailer

    I'm within 1% of rated limits, check PSI every time, drive just at or under the speed limit and keep newer tires on at all times. The guys that have accidents are usually in half tons on 10 year old bald tires with 30 PSI driving too fast...

    Looking for a travel trailer

    I had a toyhauler and those sucked. Super heavy, long and lots of compromises on floorplan. Plus you still need a way to get your SXS to different trailheads across pavement much of the time. I landed on a 24RKS which puts me under 30' tip to tail. Good storage and workable with two boys, but...

    Nosler brass

    Lapua, Peterson, Alpha, ADG. Those are premium. Everything else is at least a tier below. I've heared Nosler/Norma is pretty soft and won't last many reloads, but that's with larger cartridges. Similar to Hornady probably. Run what you got, but if your goal is to maximimze number of reloads go...

    Looking for a travel trailer

    All Winnebago. In the end, they're better than most stick and tin budget campers, but very few companies build in the same level of insulation and ruggedness as ORV. ORV interiors are a bit dated, so generally my wife prefers the lighter/flashier models. When I get into the walls to...

    Unknown Suppressors OG Experience

    I was sort of pissed that the Nano I ordered will be 5/8. I threaded my 22Creed 1/2x28 because every damn 556 can around uses that as standard. Now I need an adapter…
