    Solid video about “shooting out” a barrel.

    I quite like his video style as well. He's very good at explaining complex concepts simply.

    Tikka trigger spring fail

    Well I installed my Midas and got it adjusted to about 2lbs 5oz or so. The first stage pull weight responded to adjustments (like 1/8 turn produced more change) than the second stage pull weight screw. Either way I managed to get it adjusted where I want it, at least until I take it to the range...

    Best scope under $2500

    Another mention would be the NightForce ATACR F1 4-16x42 if you're going with FFP for your longer-distance stuff.

    Learn from my trespassing mistake in Idaho!!!!!

    I'm sorry you had to learn this the hard way. For everyone else, see the video below. Never assume the police are on your side or intend to help you.

    Dire Wolf de-extinction

    Saw this and had to post it. There's a decent argument to be made that using grey wolf DNA as a starting point isn't even how best to achieve a dire wolf phenotype anyway. Grey wolves are the closest phylogenetic ancestor to dire wolves but a direwolf phenotype may have more closely resembled...

    Dire Wolf de-extinction

    It's a company that genetically altered existing gray wolf DNA to make them look like what people THINK direwolves looked like. As a side note, direwolves probably didn't look like that.

    6mm Creed Rifle

    I've been putting one together in the last couple of months. Once the chassis arrives this week it should be about done. It's a Tikka T3X semi-custom. I'll find out soon whether it was a good idea but I'm about as confident as I've ever been about a build. Edit: Got asked about the details so...

    Tariff panic….. thoughts? Guns, optics, and accessories.

    If the tariffs continue, yes. For once I feel good about having too much gear.

    16.5” vs 18” 6 creed

    Just received my 6CM Tikka barreled action from PVA. I went with 18" (1:7 twist) for this one since it's my first. Won't be able to shoot it until a few weeks from now unfortunately though.

    Who makes PVA prefit barrels?

    PVA prefit for Tikka T3X arriving in the next day or two. I had them install it as well.

    6mm creedmoor tikka build

    Should have my Tikka 6CM build ready to go in a month. It seems to be one of the most popular cartridges right now.

    What are your Rockslide pet-peeves?

    I already apologized. What is this, nazi china?

    A Tikka "Cleaning" Regimen. A Little Brake Clean and Homemade Olive Oil is All You Need.

    I'd quite like some recommendations on firing pin lubricant for coastal climates but won't freeze in cold conditions. Being in coastal NC, running it dry probably isn't an option for me.

    What are your Rockslide pet-peeves?

    Persecution complexes and the inability to understand frequency/averages. "I get DOGPILED around here when I use more than a BB gun and they hate me and want to put a SKIRT on me!" Stop. That doesn't happen with any real frequency. Why do you want to be a victim so badly? It's just weird to...
