    Do Boresnakes harm rifles?

    I never used a boresnake on a rifle but used quite a few of them on many shotguns. As a precaution, I would tie a nylon cord to the loop at the rear end of the snake so that if the "main" cord breaks, I could pull the snake back out. Thankfully, I never had one break. I’m not sure if the rifle...

    Accuracy after Replacing Bottom Metal on Tikka T3x

    It seems that the consensus is what I suspected. Mountain Tactical advertises that "some" users report improved accuracy and kinda infer that it makes the stock more rigid. I was pretty skeptical due to the wording and logic.

    Accuracy after Replacing Bottom Metal on Tikka T3x

    I’ve been toying with the idea of replacing the bottom metal on my factory stock T3X. I know there are advantages other than accuracy BUT I am curious if you experienced an improvement in accuracy that can be attributed to replacing the plastic with a “real“ metal version? When it was all said...

    Bradley Cheek rest experience?

    Are the Bradleys ambidextrous and if not, do they offer a left hand version? I tried contacting them from their website but got a message that I didn’t posses the appropriate privileges… what!???

    Is training forced fetch ethical?

    Please forgive an old man, I do not intend to brag but to convey that what I state comes from a vast amount of experience that I was fortunate to have garnered over the years. Dogs are my passion! I trained field trial labradors for many years (1967-2000) and in my experience and after training...

    Bolt close issue - Tikka t3x

    Interesting, I had a new box of Federal Fusions that would not chamber in my 308 Roughtech or my son’s Veil. Federal sent me a new box and they just "slip in" without any effort. It took awhile but Federal made it right. It seems that I am hearing more and more about these type of issues with...

    Anybody else recovering from shoulder surgery?

    I had my rotator cuff surgery in mid June. I had 2 severe tears completely thru and if I remember correctly, they were separated by more than 1 cm. Additionally, I had a moderate tear and a large spur. Unbelievably, pain was minimal. I’m still doing physical therapy and have regained about 90%...

    Any CAD Designers on Here?

    I failed to mention that with your welding/fabrication experience coupled with documented CAD proficiency would make you an ideal candidate for a structural designer. Best of luck to you.

    Any CAD Designers on Here?

    I have not read any responses so this might be redundant. I taught Engineering Design courses (tech) for 40 years for a local community college. Since the 1980s, those courses were all CAD based. We used AutoCAD, Inventor, and Microstation. Very often I would counsel students who only wanted...

    Bore Snake: Will it break?

    I’ve used them fairly often on shotguns and worried about them breaking. As insurance, I tied a nylon cord on to the trailing loop. That way, if it broke, I had a means of pulling it out from the other end. I never had one break though. I don’t know if the rifle versions have that trailing...
