    Meateater - Benchmade Boning Knife Meatcrafter

    Its all good, sorry if I came off wrong. Most high end Japanese knives are made from a high carbon steel or a powdered steel. Most japenese knife guys prefer high carbon steel, but the powdered steels have a very high HRC with more corrosion resistance and they are used in some knives. Your...

    Meateater - Benchmade Boning Knife Meatcrafter

    What do you mean? It says it's S45VN. This is way better steel than in cheap German knives. Shun is overpriced unless it's on a big sale. VG-Max is pretty much VG-10. FWIW, it's not high end Japanese steel. https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/11/01/crucible-s45vn-steel/

    SG 5900 vs 6900

    I don't find the 6900 to get sloppy in bivy mode. Just as a counterpoint for the OP - not negating your opinion. OP... The whole point of SG (to me) is that they are light and work fantastic in bivy mode. I used to have numerous bags when I had other manufacturers, but I still haven't found a...

    The Truth about OTC in CO

    You might be on the wrong forum, my friend. The discussion of "backpacks" is the most popular subforum here outside of General Discussion. Backpacks. I love gear, but it always blows my mind when I see that.

    Onx vs basemap

    I'm still using Gaia, which most people *used* to prefer to OnX. I'm happy with it, but also have no clue where the tides have turned these days.

    New tikka t3x

    No. Their YouTube video and marketing material all say its a camo stock with all the same features as their other stocks. Also looks identical.

    New tikka t3x

    I own 3 Tikkas, I'm not hating on Tikkas. I know that's a "thing" now, which is beyond me. Earlier in the thread there were posts stating/implying it's a big update. If any of those individuals think that and want to sell me their outdated T3x with a magnum bolt face so I can build my next...

    New tikka t3x

    Yes, but the T3x line up isn't being "updated". The added some stuff to create a more upscale T3x.

    New tikka t3x

    It's the same stock, just with camo. Look at it, it's obvious.

    Are Tikka barrels slow?

    The tikkas have slow barrels opinion isn't formed vs another OEM barrel, it's vs a aftermarket barrel with a high end blank. It's pretty commonly shown on long range forums that they are slower compared to a high end barrel. That's not saying they are slow compared another OEM gun...

    New tikka t3x

    I'm kind of confused... You guys know this isn't an updated T3x, right? Some of the posts are confusing me. It's just a new model with a colored stock, cerakoted action/barrel, fluted bolt/barrel and muzzle brake. Pretty cool, but not an update like T3 to T3x.

    2020 Application Numbers

    Less hunters, but the ones that hunt are more committed. This has been the plan, IMO by Rinella, TRCP, BHA, etc. They know a committed populous, even if its a severe minority, can retain enough political pressure to sway things their way. I support these groups. I am not involved well enough...

    Avail 2200 or Others for EDC?

    I looked at all these options. I love SG and Kifaru, although my hunting bags are SG now - just my preference. I went a different direction and bought a Arcteryx Brize. IMO its a better bag than the SG or Kifaru for traveling and around town stuff, and I use it on hikes and day hunts where...

    308 for hunting and long range

    They are stiff. And I love Tikka's. But they do feel cheap, so I dont blame the OP for thinking that way. That being said - its all relative. For their lack of overall popularity, I've read more than a few threads on snipershide and LRH about the recent Brownings that didnt group that well...

    "Tikka's just don't shoot good" - Gunwerks podcast

    For what its worth - Mine was a T3x to a T3x - not a T3. But its the same exact action. The CTR stock will have an upgraded (steel) recoil lug which is good.

    "Tikka's just don't shoot good" - Gunwerks podcast

    Yeah, its the same exact gun. Google a Tikka T3x CTR - now imagine it with a T3x lite pencil barrel. :)

    Chassis

    What does your stock weigh now? Does a Christensen arms fit into a remington inlet or is it different?
