Tikka slam fire PSA
My only ND ever was because of that screw. Pushing safety forward caused to fire. Was hand-loose when I inspected. Obviously a bad situation. I had tightened with gusto after replacing spring, but clearly that was not enough. Surprised this isn't talked about more. Now, I loctite and torque to... -

Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A
You are not praised enough for being a phenomenal shot as measured by real-world first-round impacts on steel and animals. The performance you achieve is what most hunters believe they can accomplish but seldom can. Congratulations on your competence, which I'm sure is hard won. -J- NSI

New Aero precision action
Not to be truculent, but one still must buy a trigger and barrel at that price. I suppose if one has many rem 700 components and wants a non-standard cartridge, it could pencil out. That just seems fringe, and increasingly fringe at this weight. -J -
New Aero precision action
The short action only makes sense if it actually drops weight. Of course you’re right on the components. -J -
New Aero precision action
Can’t imagine why this at 30 oz over a Tikka at the same. Still got to buy a trigger and barrel. Don’t know who this is for. -J -
Tikka t1x failure to eject.
Only thing that's worked for me is aggressive cleaning. Disappointing. -J -
Tangolio witness 9 mm polymer full size
I competed with a Witness in IPSC for years. It's an Italian CZ75, no more no less. Good stuff. -J -
Picking the RIGHT hunting caliber/cartridge for the job. By the numbers
I think… I feel… Quoting from the Wiki I wrote to introduce my city friends to Western hunting: Cartridge selection is deceptively simple. First, choose a specific projectile in whose terminal performance you’re confident. Gain that confidence by perusing hunters’ forums with many pictures of... -
Tripod head leveler, shooting off of panhead/fluid head
Hate the bag over the head, love the bag over the tac table you sold me for hunting. Now only clipping in for competition on an anvil 30. -J- NSI

NX8 4x32x50 vs ATACR 4-16-42
I love my baby ATACR (mil-XT on an m110 SASS clone) and don't feel you will want more mag in field conditions. Tracking the shot is more valuable than uber zoom IMHO. The Mil-R is generally accepted as the most hunting-friendly of the NF reticles, which isn't saying much. -J -
“Backfire” hunting challenge fail
I'm sorry, I just don't buy that argument. We don't rise to the occasion, we fall to the level of our training. If we're lucky. There's got to be a standard, and an 8" milk jug at 400 yards is a pretty good one. Missing these jugs under ideal circumstances shouldn't be received with gladness... -
Tikka Bolts
That's a good point. At least the Pierce Shadow doesn't compromise on something (if not multiple items). Would be a shame if the Pierce Shadow lacked a rail, or used a notoriously unreliable trigger mechanism. -J -
How much Wyoming wind should someone plan on?
Got pinned down at the Kimball airport for 2 days, 40 knot crosswinds didn't let up for a minute. -J- NSI
