    Tikka 223 trainer

    @h2so4 is a Black Hills dealer and sells 500 round cases of of the TMK stuff. It’s accurate stuff and his prices and service are about as good as I’ve seen. For cheaper range practice you can get the ADI 55 gr Blitz Kings for about $0.70/round currently.

    Tikka 223 trainer

    Mine is cut to 18” and threaded for my AB Raptor can. Similar experience. My teenage daughter loves shooting this gun. I don’t think I’ve put two boxes of ammo through my other guns since I got this one. Plan to hunt with it this fall.

    Tikka 223 trainer

    if your other guns are Tikkas, I would stick with the Tikka. The other 1-8” bolt gun options that I’m aware of are the Ruger American and Howas. If I’m choosing between those and the Tikka, I’ll take the Tikka every time. Better trigger, smoother action, better magazines, built in scope rail...

    Tikka 223 trainer

    Don’t buy it. You will have so much fun with it that the rest of your guns will get lonely. And then you’ll find yourself hunting with it. It’s a slippery slope.

    It’s a sad day. The walrus and the chupacabra have left the building and the thread title.

    Eld-x vs Eld-m testing

    Hard to say much from a sample size of 1 bullet at each speed. Bullet performance is not an absolute. At minimum you need a sample of 30 of each bullet and speed combo to make statements about differences between them. The testers also did not use the FBI methodology for gel tests (real organic...

    Silencer Tech suppressor

    When you buy a can in the US, it’s yours forever and realistically there’s not a pathway to sell it. Given that, if the company doesn’t have a website beyond Facebook, there’s no place to access the specs of the product, and there are no reviews, I would look elsewhere. Also, if you are wanting...

    NF NX8 vs updated Mavens (1.2/3.2)

    Mils are significantly easier and faster to use than MOA. The math is simpler because “Jesus loves 10s”. This short podcast does the best job of explaining the difference between the two systems. Give it a listen and play around with the numbers in your ballistic app.

    Enough gun?

    High effort, but low effect.

    Can anyone offer up any good reading material....MILs

    Listen to this discussion on why mils work so well for quick drop calculations and wind brackets and then start running the numbers for your gun in your ballistics app. I think you’ll find that it works slick as snot. Then read the tread linked above that.

    Enough gun?

    Your preferences are valid. I understand liking a gun…. Even if it’s a Remington. 😉 As someone who used monos in bigger calibers for years, I’m becoming a big fan of the 223/77 TMK combo. The monos were not great killers for me unless I shot shoulders (which I am fond of eating) or CNS hits. I...

    Enough gun?

    I’ve not really seen this new argument you are talking about. I have seen people recommend that kids, recoil sensitive people, and new shooters avoid larger cartridges. I’ve also seen people ask what caliber they should get and seen people respond that smaller calibers will recoil less, be...

    When did we start excluding and discriminating? I am okay with someone who defines their pronouns as 375 H&H.

    Man, the backstraps on that thing look fricken huge. I’m in, but we are going to need a big crew to pack it out.

    Enough gun?

    Was not intending to be a dick or support the behavior in others.

    Enough gun?

    Didn’t intend that as anything negative towards you. Ethics may be based on opinions and change over time. But if the OP makes an argument that anyone is less than ethical, they should be ready to defend that opinion with hard data or prepare for less than friendly discourse.

    Enough gun?

    Opinions are all fine until people start comparing them and particularly if someone infers having a given opinion is a bad idea. For example when someone starts a discussion by arguing that their opinion is somehow more ethical than the opinions of others people have have a tendency to have a...

    If the intent is shooting something you can barely see at 50 yards I would question whether that is a safe practice to pursue in the first place.

    I fail to see how you could reasonably make any conclusions from that article other than deflection happens.
