    Best scope around $450??

    +1 for SWFA 3-15. I think the 15x is helpful for 400 yards at my range. I can hit 8" steel regularly at 650 yd with my 3-15 on my Tikka 223. To my eyes, it's a good zoom to spot shots at 600-800. If you haven't, lookup the scope tests here on Rokslide. They're.... eye opening...

    Too early for black bears?

    You can ski the beartooths reliably into June. There's bears for sure, but you'll also find snow. Should be a good adventure

    Swaro 10x/12x or Maven 10x/12X & 18X?

    I'm pretty confident this test is not the end all. But in a sporting good store over the weekend I tested swaro NL vs vortex HD and UHD. I had clearer vision of the vortex HD at 100 yards stack of paper than the NL. I need to test them at a mile outdoors, but the Swaro were noticeably less clear...

    Swaro 10x/12x or Maven 10x/12X & 18X?

    Good evening Roksliders, I've looking to graduate from my $200 10x binos. I got a Vortex UHD spotter last fall and saw 100X the elk of previous seasons, probably 500x honestly. My eyes get fatigued glassing for long periods of time and the cheap 10X don't have the clarity and/or zoom that I'd...

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    It's shooting ~0.75 moa on hornady frontier. So much fun and so cheap. Thanks for the two cents.

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    Thanks for the feedback. I have a TBAC ultra 7 in jail so I'll be shooting suppressed this summer? Be only shooting factory ammo. Have one range to 400 within 15 min and another range to 1000 within 40 min drive. Currently leaning towards 6.5 if I think I'd need to use match 223 ammo (close to...

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    I've been hunting for 15 years with an old 30.06 at close ranges in the midwest. Now I live out west, want to not miss elk at 500 yds and have access to shoot in the summer. My 7mm rounds are very much not always in stock. Decent the .223 or 6.5CM tikka. 223 might be a better wind trainer, 6.5CM...

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    If I need match 223 ammo to shoot sub 2 moa - is that noticeably cheaper and more available than 6.5CM? I feel like that's a more functional cartridge for hunting. Trying to find a cheaper and available ammo training rifle but ideally not $2-3 per shot. Maybe I can't have my cake and eat it...

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    This may be obvious to others, but does the mid grade FMJ plinking ammo ($0.50-0.75 per round) have decent consistency where you can shoot it long range with some consistency? Or will I need to buy match grade .223 ammo for bolt gun practice at 400+ yds?

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    Thanks, I'll plan to use my 10/22 for plinking training and to get a .223 T3x for long range hunting training. I have a SWFA 3-15 I'll use until I can get a 6X or 3-9X.

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    Thanks for the input. I can afford some 7mm ammo but it has not been readily available so I don't want to burn through what I have. I think I'll plan to use my 10/22 and get a .223 T3x trainer so I can always have access to ammo to train with and it has recoil.

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    Hey I'm looking to start developing shooting skills that will allow me to elk hunt past 400 years with a 7mm. I have a 10/22 in a magpul chasis and a 16" AR. I'm looking at getting a training rifle to learn how to dial with a scope and understand the wind. Live outv west and have access to 1000...

    Building 7mm Tikka mtn rifle

    Thanks. I'll go through some of the shooting drills with my 10-22 and 7mm tikka to become a better shooter. Then I'll focus on upgrading equipment as needed.

    Building 7mm Tikka mtn rifle

    Another note, I'll probably get a 300 win mag at some point. So I'd like to get a scope that could swap to 300 hunting rifle as well. And if I got a stock or chasis, it'd be nice to share the T3x long action. But I'm not sure if there's better 300 win mag action, barrel, stock options than T3x...

    Building 7mm Tikka mtn rifle

    Hey everyone, I'm building my first mountain rifle, upgrading from grandpa's .06 with a steel butt plate. I have a T3x Tikka with a 24" SS fluted barrel. I live out west and do mainly day hunts. Trying to build a mtn rifle that's very accurate out to 7mm range (600-800 yds?) For elk, deer...
