    Under $700 optic for a beginner to grow with

    Trijicon credo 4-16x50 is your huckleberry. While slightly over your budget by about $100, you can find them in very good condition used and will serve the purpose.

    Rifle too long?

    I hunt box blinds and ladder stands. I had been using my Browning Abolt II Medallion 7mag with Boss since I was the early 1990's or so when they came out. The issue I had hunting box blinds was getting the barrel out of the stand. barrel was 24" and the Boss added about 3-3.5". The stands...

    Reloading supplies Storage

    I thought I didn't have room either. Not sure how much you have, but I built a small compact little bench that sits in the corner of my game / CPU room. Some of my powders are on the shelf, while some is in plastic ammo containers below. No need to worry about climate issues.

    Full Length Size vs Neck Size

    Same, only FL size. But... I do anneal every time. Some anneal about every 3rd or ever other, I do it every time. But the main reason I FL size is because I load for 4 - 308's, so its easier for me to not have to keep track of brass for a particular gun.

    Sold Burris FF E1 4.5-14x42

    I have a mint Burris E1 that I took off my CVA scout 350 legend. Mounted it, shot a few, then replaced it with a Meopta. $150 shipped. I'll ship for free in US but depending on rates to Canada or Alaska, may have to charge more.

    Noisy Tikka SS bolt?

    My new CTR 308 bolt is a little rougher than my T3 lite is. Both SS, but I just figured its brand new and the other has some cycle time on it.

    30 cal elk and deer bullet

    As i mentioned earlier, I too a red/green color blind. And I have to admit, I chuckled a little. It didn't bother me one bit. But to each his own and people are affected differently. At 51, I learn to let stuff roll off my back and enjoy life, because it's too short. Now back in the day, I...

    Tikka t3x mag issue

    Both mine 308. And yes the Lite does require more force to get it set. But like I said, cycles flawless with no issues even with some longer than 308 mag length. I have a LA bolt stop in the ctr and L mag.

    Tikka t3x mag issue

    Yep, 45 in-lb It didn't with the factory ctr stock. I had to add it so the t3x stock and bottom metal would work.

    Tikka t3x mag issue

    Not really an issue but more of why is it doing this or what could be causing this. This is my CTR conversion to the t3x stock. Reg tikka bottom metal and mag. But I have found that the mag had just a little play up front. The rear doesn't move any, the front moves about 1/16" or so after...

    30 cal elk and deer bullet

    Thats crazy. I shoot a lot and have my loads really dialed in to more than what I post on here. But I have to tell the local "weekend warrior" that I'm not shooting factory ammo to do this. I have seen a few circuses where the damn bottom of the jaw is blown off. Now the animal suffered...

    CCI primer alternatives

    you better be jonny on the spot with shooting bot also, when you get the alert, you better immediately add to cart and buy or its gone. Sure the hazmat and shipping fees suck, but you'll have some. And as mentioned, get text alerts, I originally had email alerts and the text alerts is way...

    30 cal elk and deer bullet

    Same here, never thought of that. I too am red/green color blind. I'f at all possible, I head / neck shoot for instant drop, if not right behind shoulder. I had actually considered a thermal monocular to help in my situation. Like this December, shot a nice 8pt whitetail. For the 1st time in...

    HYPOTHETICAL - $5,000 replacement budget for hunting rifle(s).

    - Tikka in caliber of choice ($750 - $900) depending on what you get. Some or more. - Very nice optic and rings (I put a SB Polar 4-16x56 on mine, valued at $2500 - $3000 or so and vortex precision rings) Spend more on the optic than you would the gun, IMO. I've had custom blueprinted Rem 700...

    T3x Lite vs lightened CTR?

    Actually bought it from a guy on the site. 1st tikka I ever owned. Had a few shots on it, but he did the paint. Holding up very well.

    T3x Lite vs lightened CTR?

    I didn't care for the weight of the Arken EP5 that I had on it. I don't backpack hunt but to me it still felt way too heavy to even haul around in my woods. At the range, no prob, but not hunting. Since removing it, the rail and putting it on a diet, adding the Credo 4-16x50, if feels no...

    T3x Lite vs lightened CTR?

    No, roughtech is between CTR and Lite from what I've been told.
