    Archery Classifieds Thoughts?

    I wouldn't mind being able to peruse the used bow market in a faster fashion, but also understand its just one more thing to keep up with.

    Best 22LR Rifle under 1K

    A buddy and I are looking to setup a range of 200-300yds on his property for some "long range 22LR". He is looking to get a rifle that is accurate enough to hit 300 with the right match ammo. The leading options are Bergara B14r and Tikka t1x. He isn't looking to go full RimX custom. I...

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    I'm no doctor, but I found that straining my lower back had everything thing to do with how hydrated I am. When I am dehydrated, that is when the muscles in my lower back lock up and it takes about a week for full mobility to come back. I can move around but its uncomfortable. I'm not sure...

    Soooo I’m thinking about .243- few questions

    My 243 is cut at 22". Shooting 105Amax at 2925 out of a Shilen Match barrel. Very accurate, but the muzzle blast is way worse than anything else I shoot. I would go 6CM as you had to handload the 243 to get exactly what the 6CM offers at not bad prices. 10/10 would have gotten a 6CM if...

    Your deer rifle--why'd you choose .243 or 6.5 CM?

    I can say that my reloads for the 243 are 105 Amax over 39Gr of H4350. 6.5CM loads are 140Gr BTHP over 41.5 H4350. Not burners by any means compared to what else you see on the interwebs.

    Your deer rifle--why'd you choose .243 or 6.5 CM?

    Maybe, but the Savage has a 22" barrel and the Tikka has the 24" so I wouldnt expect a tremendous difference in blast. Funny some others have observed/felt the same thing as me as I figured it was just my perception. The 243 came along after I got sick of a light 308 and then the 6.5CM came...

    Your deer rifle--why'd you choose .243 or 6.5 CM?

    I will throw in that my Tikka 6.5CM has less recoil and less muzzle blast than my Savage 243. The recoil impulse is sharper in the 243. Neither is bad, but I would pick the 6.5CM for shooting comfort any day over the 243.

    Mod Mesa Precision Arms Altitude Stock Comb Height

    At one point, the company made a remington Altitude stock with a adjustable comb. I asked if they would make it for a Tikka and they had no plans to.

    Rifle Improvements

    Its the standard Tikka Superlite 24" Fluted Barrel. It is light enough to carry up a mountain and still easy enough to shoot. I've had it in a Mesa Altitude and XLR chassis. both better than the factory stock as far as shootablilty to me. The muzzle blast from the Tikka 6.5 is neglible and...

    Rifle Improvements

    Maybe its just me, but 308 isn't a light recoiling gun to me. Add in the blast from a short barrel 308 and its a bad combo in my eyes. When I moved on to 6.5CM, it was so nice to shoot that my shooting got better quickly. Much less muzzle blast if a decent length barrel. When I hunted with a...

    Hammer bullet shooters, how do you deal with BC?

    AB has some of the Hammer bullets in the App with CDMs. I have the CDMs for .264 bullets and they are in there. They also have CDMs for .308.

    Yet again...Tire talk

    Ive got Cooper Discoverers on my Sequoia and work F150. I like them on the the Toyota, little noisier, but more tread too. I dont like them on my F150. I had BFG KO2s and they ran quiet and smooth, but got damaged so had to replace. Never thought I would have liked the KO2s more. KO2s felt...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Came across this podcast the other day. Wasn't expecting much as everyone seems to have a podcast and they all vary in quality. I really enjoyed the couple I listened to and was impressed with the technical knowledge. You guys know your stuff. Good podcast that I will continue to listen to.
