    Tikka Nitriding

    you could email mfg for the alloy and heat treat regimine. Then ask nitrider what the time & temp is. Then review the heat treat chart for said alloy to understand if it will alter the metallurgy. if it doesnt compromise the factory heat treat thats great. If it doesn't penetrate a significant...

    When do you give up on a barrel/trouble shooting

    if it's in the budget, delete this thread to hide the evidence, sell the barrel for a loss, and buy a new one. Some barrels suck. If you've tried everything, save yourself the time and start over ETA: deleting the thread was a joke

    Is this acceptable for high end rings? And a couple other questions

    How did you quantify that they were off 0.5°? And how do you level your scope?

    Is this acceptable for high end rings? And a couple other questions

    Realize that for a 1/2" long level, if the hole is oversized by 0.004" it is capable of being off by 0.5° How did you determine your levels are 0.5° offset? How are you getting your scope reticle closer than 0.5° relative a bubble level? Per what @Wrench said above... There is so much room for...

    Is this acceptable for high end rings? And a couple other questions

    These are not the same as a conventional carpenter's level I'm trying to inform you that your expectations are unrealistic, no matter how simple a bubble level install seems 0.5° would create less than one click of windage error after dialing 10 MILs. That is still something. And that is why...

    Is this acceptable for high end rings? And a couple other questions

    1) what @wapitibob said. They are not defective. It is not feasible to make affordable levels all the same and all dead-level to the base like people think. 1/2 a degree is pretty great 2) spin the scope to match 3) I much prefer tube-mounted levels anyway for the reasons you stated

    Timing a muzzle brake/suppressor

    Adjust your torque a little less or a little more to clock it perfect to your eye. It's not an exact science And of course, if it's always going to be covered by a suppressor, it matters not at all

    Swfa models NLA

    From everything I have read about the release: They added cappability to both turrets. They did not significantly reduce or change the height of the turrets at all They added zerostop

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    seeking understanding of ballistics is a good thing, and many wannabe long range hunters don't do it or have it

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    Yeah going back to your initial post, I have no beef with this idea. At first I thought you were saying "1 or 2 hard cards total, to cover all circumstances" If you are diligent about checking the forecast and elevations you expect to hunt, and then making/selecting the cards to suit that...

    Am I missing something? How much do environmentals affect trajectory?

    I tried hard cards for a while and they always sucked when trying to hit anything past 500 yards Live data was key to my limited success past that. Emphasis on "limited". 800 yards is quite a poke in my opinion without a robust way of collecting live environmentals

    Is a 5" suppressor perfect for the 22CM?

    This kind of confirms what I suspected with the 5. I had little experience around them, but figured it would be instant buyer's remorse. Thanks for the summary
