    Help Me Choose A Cheek Riser

    CR1 is for hollow plastic stocks. CR2 is for solid stocks. If I ever upgrade from the CR1, it’ll be a full upgrade from hollow plastic to solid wood or solid composite using the CR2. But the CR1 is honestly perfect, I’m just boujie as hell with my rifles lol. The turn around was about a week...

    Kydex Cheek Riser on Carbon Fiber Stock

    I was just doing research on cheek risers. I came across this: https://acculongrange.com/online-shop/accessories/rifle-cheek-riser-with-bolt-removal-feature/ I ended up going the drill route (and having it professionally done, plus my stock is plastic). But I seriously considered the Accu Long...

    Help Me Choose A Cheek Riser

    This is good to know. I might go this route for my Tikka T1x in the future. I ended up doing the order2install route with the Kalix Teknik. I'm def gonna enjoy the clean integrated platform and adjustability in the field. Question: How wide is the Victor? One thing that has deterred me from...

    Help Me Choose A Cheek Riser

    thanks for this info. Good to know it's easy to field strip if necessary. I'm actually going with the Kalix Teknik. The US distributor of the Kalix Teknik mounts them for free if you buy from them. That's basically $165, as opposed to getting a gunsmith to mount the $35 Victor for $100-$150 (I...

    Help Me Choose A Cheek Riser

    The victor would be my first choice given how simple and sturdy it looks (plus the low price point), but yeh trapping the bolt and not being able to get it out without manually unbolting the riser would be a headache (imagine such nonsense in the field). I was also wondering about just mounting...

    Help Me Choose A Cheek Riser

    at first looked too good to be true. Further investigation reveals that the install involves a bunch of rigging to get right... not sure if I really trust this system despite the price tag.

    Help Me Choose A Cheek Riser

    I own a Tikka T3x in 30-06. Running a 20MOA rail with Warne Mountain Tech Rings and a Vortex SE 5-25x56. I will need between 0.5-1.0 inch (13mm-25mm) of cheek rise potentially (I haven't really measured). I'm looking at a selection of cheek risers. Most of these require drilling, one I'm unsure...

    Question Regarding Pinned vs Unpinned Picatinny Rails

    He's probably referring to blue loctite not being a strong adhesive between two flush metal surfaces. I consulted Loctite directly and their product is designed to double up as a film barrier between metal surfaces to keep moisture out and prevent corrosion. It may provide a little adhesion, but...

    Question Regarding Pinned vs Unpinned Picatinny Rails

    In hindsight maybe. I've taken the path of running a 20MOA rail with Mountain Tech rings and am not planning to switch. This setup allows me to take full advantage of my scope's potential and get a true back-to-zero for swapping my scope between picatinny rifles. A lot of this gear I got for a...

    Question Regarding Pinned vs Unpinned Picatinny Rails

    Thanks. Yeh I stress too much. I used a thin film of blue loctite between the rail and receiver.

    Question Regarding Pinned vs Unpinned Picatinny Rails

    The rail mfr recommended against bedding the rail with epoxy. I did use blue loctite as a film barrier. I want the 20 moa base for practicing out to longer ranges (1000 yards). I think the one pin would be fine under normal conditions, but in my case I'm running a heavy scope so I feel like I'm...

    Salmon River Solutions Tikka Pic Rail

    My torque wrench is the non-digital Wheeler FAT Wrench, which has a red block on a gauge to indicate the torque "range" you are tightened to. I set my with the bottom of the block at 15 in-lbs, so the "actual torque" was probably in the 18 in-lbs range. I even emailed SRS about this to ensure 18...

    Question Regarding Pinned vs Unpinned Picatinny Rails

    I am running a Vortex SE 5-25x56 scope (2 lb scope) on a Tikka T3x chambered in 30-06. I'm using a picatinny rail as a scope base that is pinned with one 3mm stainless steel pin and four 6-42 screws. I have heard that heavy recoiling rifles running heavy scopes require a pinned picatinny rail...

    Rail and rings recommendation - Tikka T3X 300 WM

    Do you plan to shoot past 600 yards? If so, get a 20 MOA Rail and Scope Rings. The strongest, sturdiest, most effective 20 MOA Rail on the market for Tikka T3x is Murphy Precision Picatinny Scope Base: https://www.murphyprecision.com/tikka-t3x-picatinny-style-scope-base/ For rings, I'm using the...

    Salmon River Solutions Tikka Pic Rail

    What's you Bergara caliber? I'm running 30-06 on a Tikka T3x and worried that only 1 recoil pin is pushing it. I really wish they just included all three pins or at minimum the two 3mm ones.

    Salmon River Solutions Tikka Pic Rail

    Can you elaborate? I just mounted my SRS 20moa rail to my Tikka T3x, and I also noticed the front screw seemed to be protruding into the action. I didn't have any issues closing my bolt tho. I haven't shot my rifle yet... should I load a dummy round and see if it feeds properly? BTW, my rifle...
