    What to do with 7 PRC Tikka

    It is a cost in recoil, no doubt. It's still .645 vs .796, as you mentioned, at the cost of recoil. It's up to the shooter to determine if it's worth it. Neither would be volume shooters for me. In limited round counts, at extreme distances, I'd accept the recoil for the extra 100 yards (+/-).

    What to do with 7 PRC Tikka

    For me, I'd sell/trade the 25-06 before the 7 PRC. I'm certainly a fan of less recoil and the majority of my powder burning is done with a .223, but when playing long, the 180's with a bit of velocity make a difference in wind. Seller's choice, but between the 25-06 and 7 PRC, I'd keep the...

    Trijicon 2-10x36

    Same for me. If it were 5 by 5 mil windage I would have purchased one long ago. 12 by 12 mil windage is not what I want in an all around hunting reticle.

    The .5 is a great fit for hybrid use. I prefer the saddle to a harness, even if using a stand in "stand" mode.

    Q&A Leupold Mark 4HD 2.5-10x42mm FFP TMR

    Has anyone tested return to 0 with AM rings? I was considering it this past weekend as I mounted a scope. A sighted in backup scope (NX8 1-8 for example) could be a consideration. It would likely be left at camp, so useless at the moment, but there later. On many current stock designs, iron...

    I doubt the lug can be removed without drilling.

    RE: high recoil lug issue... I finally gave in and shot mine yesterday. I wanted to get behind it and couldn't wait any longer. The recoil lug is a touch high, I simply torqued the front screw as normal (hard), and put a very small/thin piece of plastic under the rear screw and only tightened...

    I used a C clamp with wood between the stock/clamp on the bottom and smooth aluminum between the lug/clamp on the top to get the lug to seat. It took a lot of pressure. It looked good to me visually. Comparing to the VG stock, using highly technical fingernail on an allen wrench to measure...

    I just spent 1/2 an hour trying to pull it. Only succeeded in marring the lug. I finally got pissed off, put a hard rubber handle on top of the lug, and used a metal bar in an attempt to tap it in...which turned into hammering hard...which as far as I can tell hasn't moved it. Tomorrow I'll give...

    Mine arrived yesterday. I only had a short time to look it over but the recoil lug was the first thing I noticed. Protrusion was extreme. I attempted to push it in a bit, nothing moved. Pushed HARD, nothing moved, or if it did it wasn't much. Attempted to pull it with tape covered pliers...

    RokStok

    After spending a fair amount of time using a few of them, I'm happy to use a completely open barrel channel with only the outer shell and no fill. An example is the Grayboe Trekker. Along with minimal action area inlet depth (think chassis), it makes a very generic production model, reducing...

    Two Rifle Setup - What Would You Do?

    If you have one already that you like everything about, assuming that's your 6.5 PRC, then just mimic it in a 1/7 or 1/8 .223. Recreate the PRC package as close as you can. The .223 with good bullets is a solid killer for the game you listed. If you don't feel that way, then it's not a issue...

    Drop test of the Scmidt & Bender fixed 6

    I use several scopes with heavier reticles. I've found it helpful to use a large/thicker X on the target rather than a crosshair or dot that is thinner than the reticle. Depending on the reticle, the X seems to help me hold more consistently.

    Favorite/best headlamp?

    I use the red when hiking in/out in the dark. From my experience turning the light off when I stop for a moment to avoid sweating (at least a bit less sweating), my eyes adjust quicker to the darkness when using red than when using white.

    UM Tikka Rings

    I use the low UM rings with an NXS 2.5-10x42 which has the same objective size and tube length as the SHV 3-10x42. Stock design and your body play into the best height for rings but the lows work for me on the factory stock, Stockys sporter, and Stockys VG. The following are very good caps, but...
