    Tikka threading

    5/8-24 is no problem on a TIKKA at 18 inches. You will need a coller installed. Contact ADCO Firearms. I have a 308 and 6.5 Creed threaded as such.

    trijicon accupoint?

    Thanks. I looked at their site and couldn't find the info. I assumed all Ballistic reticles were etched, but if that's what Trijicon said, it must be so. Really liking the scope, wished I'd tried one sooner.

    Wondering who has just lived with having a heavy scope on a light weight rifle?

    Butt heavy and top heavy rifles are NOT a joy to carry. A SWFA 3-9 is about as heavy as I like on a light rifle like a TIKKA. For non-dialing a Ballistic plex Burris or Trijicon will make hits at most hunting ranges we encounter. It's that what-if scenario that drives you nuts when making a...

    trijicon accupoint?

    Are you sure it is not an etched reticle? I have the green mildot and thought all Ballistic reticles were etched. I like mine well enough, that I'm about to get a second. That green dot will spoil ya in the thick stuff and low light!

    Barrel length for a suppressor?

    Anywhere between 16-18 for me. My 6.5 Creed Tikka at 18 gets 2700 fps with a 127 LRX and near max load of StaBall.

    SWFA 3-9 unicorn quick look

    I prefer sfp for 'normal' ranges. Ffp is better for dialing. The Accupoint with mil dot holdovers is perfect for making hits out to 400, and that illuminated dot has to be see to be appreciated; especially in thick cover or in dim conditions.

    SWFA 3-9 unicorn quick look

    They were my favorite hunting scope until I got a 3-9 Trijicon Accupoint recently. Wow. For my style hunting it's almost perfect. If the 3-9 SS would lose the windage knob, it would be a big improvement. There must be a reason for the overly large occuler. Have grown to appreciate the reticle.

    2023 Colorado 2nd season, full moon

    Yup. Full moon sucks for any hunting IMHO.

    Non-standard tips to share....

    Hello. Sitting on stand I was thinking about a couple unique things I do. Not standard advice, but uncommon tricks you came up with. 1) I always wear my binos under my outmost layer. It keeps them from flopping or banging off my bow/rifle. Also keeps the glass warm to prevent fogging when...

    trijicon accupoint?

    Hope so, waiting on my first to be delivered. Not every rifle needs 2 lbs of scope/mounts.

    Ultralight barrel and suppressor ?

    Not ultra light like a #1 contour, but my chopped Tikkas shoot great.

    School me on Scope ring torque

    Anybody ever confirm their chi-com torque wrench is even close to in spec? With experience you can feel when you got it right. Tighten with your finger tips and stop when you get to the 'squeek' point. You can tell when you are about to exceed torque. Same goes from small screws to lug nuts.

    Which suppressor?

    I really like my YHM cans but for what you describe, EVO seems perfect. Omega or YHM R2 for max suppression and a more robust suppressor in your budget.

    CO OTC Elk 2023 Questions

    Go deep can work but a major issue is bumping into outfitters. More than once I've surprised outfitters and gotten "how did you get in here?". They can give some major attitude and act like they own the place - talking public land here. I use them to my advantage because the folks they bring...

    Thoughts on suppressed build

    Yup. 140db is the single shot threshold.

    Cartridges that get the most out of handloading

    I vote 270 Win. or 7 Rem mag. Really underloaded in some factory offerings.

    Thoughts on suppressed build

    Really need to establish your priorities before getting a can and setting up a rifle. We don't all shoot/hunt the same way. I prioritize hunting which is why I posted my initial response. I also don't shoot long range >400yds. I want a rifle around 8.5 lbs max and total barrel length of...

    Thoughts on suppressed build

    Certainly a suppressor is quieter than a break, if recoil reduction is primary goal.

    Thoughts on suppressed build

    Personally, I don't get suppressing magnums because 1) longer barrels, and 2) they aren't very quiet. Suppressors are great for moderate cartridges like 308 & 6.5 Creed.

    What length barrel are you running suppressed?

    18.5 6.5 Creed 17 350 Legend 17.5 308 Win 18 & 16.5 22 Lr with a Sparrow Ymh r9 or R2 depending on how light/quiet I need. Range depends on min expansion velocity for selected bullet. No way I would want any barrel longer than 24 inches with can, but I also use non-mag chambering.
