    Tikka 30-06 Veil Wideland suppressor?

    I have the Cabela's/Basspro version of that rifle (D-18) and one thing I will say is that putting a suppressor on the factory-length barrel makes it long. Now, if you don't mind the aesthetics of having the barrel cut into the flutes, then just have it cut down and re-threaded. If that is a...

    Feedback on Preferred Barrel Hybrid Lite for Tikka T3x Lite

    Yes, the Hybrid Lite contour does match the factory up near the shank. I use a Viper vise. I know some have had some issues with them, but I have pulled barrels from 3 different Tikkas, 4 Remingtons, and 3 Savages and never had a problem with mine.

    7mm SAW Questions

    The main reason for me is that I can (and did) have mine built specifically throated for the 160 class bullets, as well as twisted at 1-8.7, and finally at minimum headspace. What that means is that using an M+ magazine in my Tikka action, I can load 160 class bullets out further than a...

    .300wsm barrel length

    The only reason I would cut it shorter is if you plan to suppress it. Yes, a 22" barrel would be a bit handier, but in sheep country it won't matter that much. I would recommend shooting it before you do anything. Fluting it or cutting it down could have a detrimental effect on how it performs.

    7mm SAW Questions

    I don't have a SAW, but I do have a 7-08AI. While they are not 100% identical, I believe they are close enough that you should be able to draw some conclusions if you are still on the fence about building one. Mine is built with a 20" Bartlein barrel and I can get 2808 fps shooting a 162 grain...

    260 rem or 260 AI or a 7mm-08?

    My recommendation would be a 7-08AI or 7SAW. I have a 6.5Creed, 260, regular 7-08, a 7-08AI and a 308. The 7-08AI gets more use than any of the others. 150-162 bullets in the 2750-2950 fps range are a breeze with it. I too, don’t get the fireforming comments. I fireformed 200 pieces of...

    25 Caliber Cartridge with cartridge head stamped brass?

    That is what I would do. Or, you could just get something that is readily available, such as a 6.5PRC and be done with it.

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    That tracks with my experience. I ordered a bare Tikka stock and it shipped within 5 days of the order. I ordered a painted Savage stock and it was right at 45 days from order to ship.

    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    Probably just a bad weld then. I witnessed a Hybrid 46 come apart on a 33 Nosler last month. It was a standard barrel length (24"). Guy said it was the second time it has happened. The first time it split the tube, this time it just launched the guts about 125 yards.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    The Tikka Lite Hybrid contour would fit just fine.

    22 Hornet for Deer

    None, as most of that weight is carried in the guts, hams, back and hide. As for what bullet to use in the Hornet, I would say the 53 grain V-Max, 52 grain MatchKing, 50 grain Nosler BT, 53 grain Nosler Varmageddon, and the 45 grain Sierra Varminter would all do well. For the non-lead folks...

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    This is just my opinion, so take it for exactly what you paid for it, but there is no reason to pay that much for an AR. I mean, you can spend that much on a Daniel Defense or an LWRC but for the every-day shooter, you just won't see the value in the extra $1500 over a Ruger, S&W, Rock River...

    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    Just to clarify, now that you have shown the picture, mine is one of the original Harvesters, not an EVO, which yours clearly is. I would agree that it was a defective weld, or a baffle strike. Was the part that was attached to your gun still on their tightly after the failure?

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    I don't have any pics of what it may look like on a Stocky's as I mounted them on other stocks. I can try to get a pic of the length of the forearm portion of my Stocky's VG Tikka stock.

    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    I have over a 100 shots through one with my 21.5" barreled 300WM. No issues.
