    Need some help on rifle decision

    Super varminter isn't what most would consider for a big game hunting rifle. One of the Veil or roughtech models might be a better fit if you dont want a lite model? Sako S20 would be worth a consideration.

    Most accurate best value 6.5 Creedmoor

    I'm no savage fan but that axis 2 pro stock looks better than lots of others from a ergos standpoint. If it didn't drop at heel at all and the toe line was then correspondingly flatter it would probably be quite good. I'd try to find a way to get a tikka with the rebate.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Those hornady factory match 73 ELDm shot awesome in my factory tikka lite barrel. That would be my first stop if a guy couldn't get the black hills 77 TMK. Speer gold dot 75 gr or federal fusion 62 gr are a couple others i'd not hesitate to use on deer.

    Avery vs. JvB - Podcast Back and Forths

    I doubt it would be uncivil. All one has to do is listen to the pap winkle podcast for a reference. Guy was a larger cartridge copper fan IIRC and its not like the conversation turned shitty over it.

    6.5x55 or 6.5 PRC

    I'm pretty sure 6.5 creedmoor factory ammo typically out performs or is on par with 6.5x55 factory ammo because of pressures both are loaded to. The swede will outperform the Creed if handloaded and is in pretty good spot as far as case capacity IMO for offering good performance without burning...

    22 ARC or 6ARC

    Welcome to Rokslide. This is a topic that has been debated many times here. Using energy to extrapolate to what kind of wound is often misleading if comparing different bullets. What matters is what kind of wound a bullet creates within the expected impact velocity window. In this case, i would...

    Tikka vs Christensen arms build 6mm CM

    6 UM seems like an expensive headache to me but to each his own. You mentioned 600-800 yd shots. That’s a long ways in varying field conditions in a deer sized animal. A lot of people who shoot a bunch and compete won’t do it because they know the odds of making a bad hit are pretty good. I...

    Advice on my next suppressor

    That nomad Ti xc sounds very impressive. Was going to get another scythe but it might be hard to do that over the ti xc. I was going to use one scythe with 3 port anchor brake as range/NRL can and one with flat cap as hunting but might need to go with ti xc for the hunting can.

    Caliber Battle: 6mm ARC vs 6.5 Creedmoor for Deer Sized Game

    Single shot? This new consideration has my mind a spinnin. An old sako with a wood stock chambered in 6 ARC.. sounds incredible.

    “Custom” Tikka or Seekins Havak PH2

    I’d love to see premium cut rifled pre-fits for $100 less than the price a bartlein blank sells for. Please share the secret.

    Let's talk about point of impact / zeroing for different shooters

    Possible. Lead sleds often impact POI because the rifle doesn’t recoil the same or have the same input as when shouldered.

    Sig Kilo10k or Revic LRF binos?????

    The sig warranty, familiar AB interface, a few revic warranty needed reports in the internet, and reports of meh glass on the revics pushed me to the sigs. Glass is pretty decent on sigs but they ain’t my 12x50 ELs when it comes to glassing. Haven’t had a ton of time with them yet.
