    Tikka bolt stop pin break diagnosis

    I recently had a tikka bolt release pin break during a normal bolt cycle. I cycle my bolt as I imagine most do, quickly and aggressively to be ready for a follow up. This is my first and only tikka and have never noticed this pin before it broke. My action was professionally bedded in an...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    keep the no point system. Selfishly I like the way it is on December 1st. I just hope they do their research to implement a system that works rather than act on emotion of people complaining. The complaint will never stop. But it makes sense to seek out ways to improve.

    WTS Vortex Razor HD 22-48x65 Straight Spotting Scope - New

    Still available? I have a 40% discount code from vortex which puts the new price at $1109.99 plus tax and shipping so maybe $1200. I’ve noticed these are selling for $800-$900 in the classified. Would you be willing to drop price into that range?

    Scope mounting to maintain zero

    I’m little confused on the loctite, paint pen, nail polish, whether they are for the same purpose. When I first read this post/thread I thought the nail polish or paint pen was only being used as an indicator to see if a screw moved, not as a holding agent. Reading more recents threads on...

    Left Handed Rifle Options

    I have a tikka and my brother has the x bolt gold medallion wood stock. My close friend went through QC and CS problems with CA and it was not fun for him. I got the tikka knowing that I wanted to upgrade parts. My brother wanted to buy a rifle with a nice wood stock and not mess with it...

    What is the recommendation for a left hand shooter that will run a tikka with Rokstok for hunting but wants an off the shelf .223 trainer? As in no LH tikka .223 available. An ideal world the trainer would also have a Rokstok at some point.

    Similar topic, any recommendations for barrel maintenance/care for coastal Alaska? I have heard running a patch with oil. This would involve checking your cold bore with oil. Would it really matter if your muzzle was taped the whole time anyway? After being in the field and before putting...

    RokStok

    It’s important to remember internet socials are weird places for humans to interact in. Even when everyone has something in common. On one hand, it’s like asking your friend if something is normal or not before calling CS because you dont want to be an annoying customer. On the other hand...

    That’s a good point. I have a tripod attachment that could serve in place of the bipod. It is slower to set up than my bipod, so I’ve always brought both bipod and tripod. I wonder if I could go backpack for quick prone shooting and tripod for those less time sensitive scenarios when dealing...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    The last couple episodes have really got me rethinking my gear. For better or for worse I try to pick up tips and tactics from hunting videos. One particular tactic I’ve seen and my experience reinforces is Ryan Lampers usually closes the last few yards of his stalk without his pack. I’ve...

    There is a link about 10 posts back that explains the bad, average, good. My .30-06 worked perfect as an average gun. I just ran a 6.5 prc 143 eldx at 2960 fps through the good gun. In this case the mils don’t march out equally. They incrementally require more mil adjustment. 400-1.5...

    This is the same feeling I have every Dec 1 waiting for my non resident tag in Idaho. In a queue, not quite sure my number means, hoping for the best.

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Do the fjallraven pants lose any shape as In stretch out when worn for multiple days. I’m thinking of the Prana Zion. I have really grown to dislike how much they lose their shape and stretch out when worn day after day. I’ve been wearing the Kuiu Kutana and they fit the exact same no matter...

    Is there any way the product testers can get access to update in the “why, what, how” no reply thread. I really appreciate the product user updates. It would be easier to follow them if they had their own thread. This thread could remain for general discussion.

    I have found the wet aging method to be a very good option for warm weather hunts when you can’t hang meat. You can google wet aging to skip my explanation. People always say don’t let water touch the meat. This method violates that rule, but it works great in my experience. And the meat comes...
