    Best Long Range Hunting Caliber for Short Action??

    The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent long range hunting cartridge for deer sized game. I don’t hunt elk so can’t speak to that.

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    I skimmed through the thread and went and tested my Howa Mini action for the cycling/trigger issue. No issue on mine. Trigger pulls exactly the same after Lee Harvey Oswalding it several times.

    TIKKA CTR on a diet

    I have a CTR and scoped with a mag full of ammo it’s right at 10 lbs. Not bad at all and a steady platform.

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    I agree, although I'm 44 and dip 1.5 cans a day and could stand to lose some weight. I've got bigger fish to fry in regards to my overall health profile than discharging a non braked firearm a couple times a year with no hearing protection.

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    Maybe owning a can isnt the end all be all of hunting game with a firearm and yes, that opinion can change over time.

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    Maybe I don't want to shoot a 178 ELDX 2400 FPS.

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    I reload and maybe I don't want to shoot lower BC, light for caliber projectiles. I'd prefer the high BC bullets at higher speeds.

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    Another annoyance that I didn't know until after owning a single can for a year is you really need to own multiple cans. Swapping a single can between multiple rifles can be an issue if you have kids or are going to loan your rifle to a partner. If I take my boys hunting, we are going to run...

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    I dont want to sacrifice 50-100 FPS, especially on cartridges that arent really fast to begin with.

    Suppressor Opinion: Meh, It’s Ok

    I'm the OP and the content in this thread is hilarious but, I'm going to the range this week to check zero on my 20" barrel Tikka UPR and 20" Tikka CTR. I've been shooting them with the can in the off season but they are lighter and more compact/maneuverable without the can. The weight of the...

    6.5 PRC Sporter Style Hunting Rifle no Can or Brake?

    I’ve got a Howa Mini 6 ARC with the 22” sporter barrel. Silly accurate with handloads and true spot my shot capability.

    6.5 PRC Sporter Style Hunting Rifle no Can or Brake?

    I want a 6.5 PRC but every time I look at a ballistic table, I'm reminded a 6.5 CM is more than enough for whitetail deer in TN. Especially considering I want a light, basic rifle with a sporter barrel, the 6.5 CM recoil is much more manageable.

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    Ive got a couple Tikkas (CTR and UPR) that are over 11 lbs rigged out. I am going to get back into a more sporter type with aa simple T3X Lite with no brake or can. Just a good ole fashioned 24" stick barrel for hunting.

    6.5 PRC Sporter Style Hunting Rifle no Can or Brake?

    Not at all. I hunted with a T3X Lite stainless 6.5 CM for several seasons. Miss that rifle for a pure hunting rig.

    6.5 PRC Sporter Style Hunting Rifle no Can or Brake?

    Anyone running a sporter style 6.5 PRC without a can or brake? I’m looking at getting a lightweight 6.5 PRC at 24” and running it without any muzzle devices. Kind of an old school style. How’s the recoil?

    WTS Howa Mini 6mm ARC 22” B&C Stock Reloader Supplies Included

    I’m considering letting go a full Howa Mini 6mm ARC package including Howa Mini 22” sporter barrel barreled action, Bell&Carlson M40 stock, reloading dies, brass and loaded projectiles. With a can, this rifle is sub MOA with handloads. Right at 1K rounds down bore but well taken care of. Making...

    I thought I needed a new “big game” hunting rifle

    At one point I had 2 KRG Bravos and eventually sold them. Sure they are awesome stocks, but for a hunting rifle I think the Tikka stocks are great. Yeah I’m weird like that.

    TIKKA Stainless - Phasing it out?

    I live in Tennessee so I only deal with rain and humidity. I’ve never had a blued barrel rifle rust. I wipe down my firearms with a silicone cloth after each hunt. If rifle sits in the rain, I pulls the barreled action from stock and apply Birchwood Casey Barricade. My stainless Tikka UPR got...

    TIKKA Stainless - Phasing it out?

    I've owned the base $750 T3X Lite models with the blued barrels and I prefer them over stainless
