    Are the UM Tikka action lightening cuts a good idea for a 6 UM or 6.5 PRC?

    I have 2 rifles coming back from Unknown soon. a 6mm Creedmoor and a 6.5 Creedmoor. I ordered the action cuts because why not? Fun and interesting option. I have not received them yet so have not had a chance to see or experience the modded Tikka actions in person. I just ordered 2 more rifles...

    Sold Tikka Compact Stock

    Looking to assemble a Tikka for a small 11 year old to hunt with this year. Let me know if you have one available. I have regular stocks in black and Camo that could be used as a partial trade.

    Tikka T3X Roughtech/Veil Questions

    My Roughtech has a Carbon steel action and barrel with Cerakote. My Cabelas D18 is just like the Veil, stainless action and barrel with cerakote. The fluted bolt appears to be identical for the Roughtech and the D18. A magnet sticks to both of them so I assume they are not stainless or mild...

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    I learned my lesson. "Pay attention when Form writes or speaks about something." I got my Howa Superlite barreled action in a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 16.25" barrel. Just for fun I thought. I bought the Stocky's special Superlite stock in the Vertical Grip model. It weighs 22 oz vs 17-18 oz for the...

    What happens when a gun manufacturing company dies?

    If he has a written quote, it should be fairly easy to take the owner of the rifle to small claims court and get a judgement for the 4K. Plus storage fees and perhaps some interest. Whether the owner is collectible or not is the decision he has to make first.

    Best caliber and bullet for African Hunt

    I assume you meant a 127 LRX in the 6.5 Weatherby RPM. Did it expand at all?

    Best caliber and bullet for African Hunt

    I have an Encore I bought to build a Hobbit rifle. Since I am going to Africa next May. I thought it would be fun to order a .375 H&H barrel for the Encore. I doubt I would ever use it much but my friends might. I was thinking of doing an 18" or 20" Threaded barrel. I assume I will install a...

    Best caliber and bullet for African Hunt

    Shooting off sticks at distance without a rear support is a different skill for sure. I have been doing it for coyotes off a tripod and it can make you humble.

    Great Deal for Howa Superlight plus Vertical Grip option

    The discount does not apply to sale prices. The Rokslide 30 discount takes the stocks to only a dollar less than the July 4th sale price. The sale price is over so the coupon if they will honor it or the sale price is about the same at around $400. It does not apply to the $350 VG blem or the...

    RokStok

    I got mine to drop after spending some more time with it. Took a different Mountain Tactical lug out of another stock that had just a tiny amount of wiggle room in the pocket of the Rokstok. Worked the action back and forth while squeezing it together and "Voila" in it went. Form was right as...

    Thanks for all the help. I will pursue a solution without further posts here to avoid more clutter on this massive thread.

    RokStok

    There is definitely something going on with my Rokstock. It appears the recoil lug sits too high up in the slot causing the action to sit up on the lug. There is a dramatic difference in how the action sits in the stock with the recoil lug versus without. No amount of adjusting would let the...

    Great Deal for Howa Superlight plus Vertical Grip option

    I need another rifle like I need a hole in the head but the Howa Superlight looked like fun and I found a loophole that makes it a great deal. Brownell has 15% off for July 4th. It is still going on. They have a bunch of Superlight barreled actions available and will apply the coupon. The also...

    RokStok

    This Rokstok has a Sendero Carbon SIx barrel that lives in it. I was test fitting my 223 D18 version and shot it to compare to the Stocky's VG. I thought the same thing about it not fitting well but I think it was in there correctly. It did shoot great. The old Tikka T3 action and sendero...
