    Gunsmith Helena MT?

    I have a hard time understanding why they’d be months out to torque a barrel to an action? Seems like there might be some miscommunication going on.

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

    Do you find yourself using pink fingernail polish on all your firearm hardware but wonder if that is “rokslide enough”? Take it to the next step and lube your rifle with organic, conflict free, small batch olive oil!

    Shoot2Hunt University

    You don’t hand load I’m assuming? Hell, I’d try to find a bunch of the 106 2nds for what people paid for them (less than the $0.25 I have into my pile of 224 ELDs). Brass may be more expensive I guess. I’d prefer to shoot a 6ARC over a 223 for a trainer.

    If I was starting from scratch I’d strongly consider just using a tripod with a large apex and put a schmedium directly on top. No need for a head or plate.

    25 prc? 25-7 prc? Experiences? Gotchas? Intangibles?

    Seems like neck/shoulder would be just short of 2.3"? Berger 133/135 start of boat tail to tip is roughly 1.20" which gives you 3.50"+ COAL if you want to keep bearing surface in front of the shoulder. Basically same capacity as 7 PRC but the PRC would allow shorter COAL.

    Threaded Tikka T3x Gen 2 rifles and Hornady 6 GT 109 ELDM ammo found in the wild

    Nice. Bummer that they aren't a little shorter. I looked quick and it doesn't seem like tikka has specs listed well for these new revs. Would be awful nice if they just had a gol darn "US product line" list with specs of what they ship that isn't special order.

    What were they priced at? Barrel lengths?

    Tikka ctr questions

    I’ve never done it but there are hacks for making ctr bottom metal work with AI pattern mags. Might be able to find a shorter AI pattern mag that would work. Or trade tour stock, bottom metal, mag for a T3x lite stock, bottom metal, mag. Or varmint /super varmint stock.

    Cartridge/caliber size and fun, plus Tikka action with 55-57 mm cases.

    I kind of get what you’re saying. 223s don’t quite turn my gears like a little bigger stuff and they seem more finicky. Improved Swede is a pretty cool spot. 6 creed’ish is plenty for me to get over the hump though.

    DC with Toddlers

    We’re flying in/out of Dulles and staying downtown by convention center. Thanks for the ideas folks, that’s probably enough to fill the time slots I have. I just recalled that an old college roommate lives in the area too so I’m going to hit him up.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    Maybe nice to have ti for using CLR to clean as well.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    So about 50-100 rounds worth of carbon fouling difference.

    Those hosers at dead air making you spend $30 for a tool to take out or tighten an end cap is lame.

    Go Hunt vs Huntin Fool

    Yeah, I’m pumped to look through my nv elk draw odds soon with 9 points. Pretty sure every tag in the state could just say “lol, not a fuggin chance” for odds.
