I am not so sure I agree with Ryan on this one. There are some huge gaps when you put a Tikka D18 barrel in a Proof/Sendero barrel channel. I am not sure if a D18 is smaller than the 3B or not. You can put your finger in the gap under the barrel. It does not really bother me but I suspect some...
I am new to all this but my path has taken a new turn in the last year. Switched from 6.5 Creedmoor to 6 mm Creedmoor. Bought a Proof Elevation with a Swarovski Z6i built my own range and started shooting more. Took an 850 yard qualifying class and the instructor was amazed that my hunting rifle...
I have never killed anything with an ELD-m. Mostly ELD-x and random hunting bullets. I always buy ELD-m to test my rifles and to shoot at the range anyway so this would simplify my life.
FYI, my 6 Creedmoor is my go to rifle and it loves the Sierra Gamechanger TGK 100gr. They have worked well...
A 6.5 PRC was my plan until I decided to order a 6UM. Any excuse for a new rifle. The PH likes 30 Cal preferably at least 30-06 for larger animals but they will allow you to take anything because of all the shooting at smaller game. They used a .22 WMR last time to shoot lots of small critters...
I listen to Ryan talk about Murder Bullets. Most of my guns shoot ELD-m the most accurately. Is it really that easy? It would sure save money, space around the house and my time to just use ELD-ms.
My plan:
.223/5.56 77gr TMK or 73 gr ELD-m
6mm ARC 108 gr ELD-m AR rifle with a thermal for hogs...
"He seems to be the type of guy that got into hunting because he likes shooting rather than vice versa and clearly isn't much of a "DIY public land/backcountry" type."
That would describe me. Retired to Florida, enjoy shooting, have some extra cash so have way too many rifles, started hunting...
Jim seems like a man I would like to know. He certainly doesn't come across as having a big ego. Not a fair comment as I believe 95% of internet content providers would never have shown it. The original shot was not at 600 yards. He explained that he took the slow trigger squeeze a little too...
Thanks. The Wilson and the Faxon both show 19 ounces in their specifications and are 1:8 twist. The Bear Creek lightweight 5.56 is 1:7 twist but the specs say 24 ounces. It is on sale for $66 which is crazy.
Thank you all for this thread. I can't believe it took me this long to discover it. I am intrigued. What a fun project. I built a bunch of lightweight ARs using the magnesium alloy receivers but lost interest when I moved to Florida and started hunting more. This looks awesome and gives me...
I bought a Tikka in a KRG Bravo (Using AICS mags) and moved it to a Stocky's CF with stock bottom plastic. Now I need a retention spring. Midway sell them for $20 plus freight so I thought I would ask in this forum in case someone had one cheaper.
