    Tikka vs. CZ 600

    I took a leap on one in 223 when Eurooptic had them on sale. Hasn't shipped yet but anxious to start playing with it. Pre recall I think they were an awesome concept... I hope extra barrels get sorted out by someone now that CZ won't offer them or bolt heads ro Joe Schmos

    School me on 280 Rem.

    I have a rem and AI. killed everything from bighorn sheep to bison with them. One big drawback is factory ammo for either is quite limited. If you don't hand load or want to buy ammo by the case when it's available, go PRC, it's a hell of a round too

    Help me pimp my Sig Cross

    Skip the brake and especially the vortex. Get a Trijicon Credo, nightforce, or meopta optika6, good rings, and call it a day

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

    Form, you've got me curious on the 6 ARC over some other 6mm options, and 108 eldm loads can be had pretty dang cheap currently. What are your thoughts on one in an AR platform over a bolt gun when shooting factory fodder? Not too interested in a full custom, so would be limited to Howa mini or...

    Inletting for a savage

    http://www.savagegunsmithing.com/contact_information.html Scott may be on board for doing it for you. I've never gotten him to respond to an email, so give him a call. He works on all guns, but made his start specializing in savages years ago as far as I know

    6mm ARC Gas gun

    I hear ya on that. I got into ARs a fair bit about 10 years ago and did a lot of coyote hunting then too. Looking into the 6 arc sparked some interest to put one together, but I'm not sure I'd like it much for a big game hunt

    Looking for a new 223. Need help

    Appreciate it! I stopped in to a small LGS yesterday and they had a CZ600 Lux in 223. I measured the mag out to 2.315. Was hoping it would be a touch longer, but not bad. The mini action is a nice size, and trigger was surprisingly nice

    6mm ARC Gas gun

    Who here has a 6mm ARC on an AR15 platform? Since I cant use the venerable 77 TMK for elk where I'm at I was looking into building/buying a 6mm of some flavor to use the 108 ELDM and noticed that factory 6mm ARC ammo is currently not much more than the price of new brass.... Got a few extra...

    Looking for a new 223. Need help

    Think your buddy could measure the max COAL? Looks like the 600 is built on 3 action sizes which is neat for 223 family stuff. Curious if the 1:7 twist can be fully taken advantage of by loading stuff long

    CZ 600 Alpha

    Is that a quarter you glued in there? To increase resale value? I'll admit, I am very intrigued by the 600 Trail, but for 350 bucks I'm going to have a very hard time passing one up...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Well I had been really searching for a 8 twist 243 tikka since I can't legally shoot elk with a 223, but now you've really got me thinking of a 6ARC since I've got about everything but a barrel laying around to do an ARC AR build.... Factory ammo is a lot more reasonably priced than i figured...

    Tikka 243 8 twist model # *UPDATED 2/2/23*PLEASE READ*

    Folks that have found some 8 twist rifles, how is the throat on them? Anyone taken a 108 eldm to the lands and gotten a COAL measurement?

    Ring on brass as case head failure indicator

    Exactly what I do as well. I get a bit of that type of ring from factory federal rounds in two different rifles, doesn't mean you're edging towards case head separation, but you'd be able to feel it if you were

    Who is Hoffman Boots......let me tell you?

    Cool to see you guys in the forum! Have had my Ourdoorsman pacs for several years now and they are my favorite winter boot for any time I'm working/hunting outside and not going to sit for extended periods. Not too heavy, not too light, and comfortable as heck!

    Weatherby Vanguard Talon First Range Report

    Nice rifle and nice write up! The Weatherby/Peak44 3d printed recoil pads work really well IMO, but they will deform if stored in the way you describe. I have a horizontal gun chest/cabinet so i have no issues. But, I ecommend putting them in gun safe or cabinet muzzle down
