    Tikka t3 7mag barrel threading

    my tikka 24" 300wsm was threaded 1/2-28. i'd call around locally before the hassle of boxing and sending. shouldn't be that complicated of a job. i will suggest that you don't turn down the brake to have a seamless fit on your barrel. mine was turned down so much it blew apart the first...

    Proof carbon tikka prefit 300 wsm favorite ammo & handloads?

    i have it in a mesa altitude. with that and the area419 hellfire brake, there is pretty much no recoil. exact same setup as my other proof/tikka/mesa albeit that's in 6.5 creed.

    Beware of Alaska custom cerakote

    well be careful in general with coating. i had the slide milled on one of my sti 2011s for an optic and then cerakoted. they also coated the underside of the slide and the tightened tolerances are causing a bunch of malfunctions. it's getting better as i sand/blast off the coating but not...

    Proof carbon tikka prefit 300 wsm favorite ammo & handloads?

    so i replaced my factory tikka 300 wsm barrel with a proof carbon prefit. only had it out once (barrel break in /zero/etc) but i couldn't get any great groups out of it with a wide variety of ammo (hornady 200 eldx, hsm 185 vld hunting, fed terminal ascent 200, fed 180 tbt, etc). good news is...

    Delima on a Gun Decision.

    yep have it threaded and throw on a brake. and a better recoil pad. a word of warning. i had a smith thread and add a brake to my 300wsm. he thinned it down to match the barrel profile and it literally blew apart the first time i shot it! he did the honorable thing and replaced it, and i...

    LH Semi Recommendations

    i have a benelli lefty sbe2 that i've used a bunch in 3 gun. it doesn't cycle the walmart 4 paks (rem, fed, win) super reliably but the win supersports cycle 100%. it's sprung for 3.5" and i guess the weaker stuff is just too soft. also have their m2 lefty which i now use in 3 gun...

    Tikka T3/T3x Aftermarket Stock Pics

    Lefty power! I had a lefty Mesa Altitude on my t3x with factory barrel in 300wsm. no issues at all and was easily sub moa. but just because, i swapped out the factory barrel with a proof carbon prefit and then bought another Altitude that was made for the larger barrel diameter. pic below is...

    Win 70 EW Accuracy

    not the best looking stock work for sure. i'd def try to take it up the ladder with winchester. no reason a rifle in today's market can't shoot at least close to moa. are you easily moa with your other (or buddy's) rifles, or have you had some moa shooters try this rifle? i wouldn't touch it...

    First Focal Plane vs Second

    downside to sfp is you have to be on max magnification on most scopes for the reticle to be accurate for holding over (elev and wind). if you always dial (elev and wind), that is a non-issue. it's also mostly a non-issue if your scope's max magnification is where you generally put it to (eg 12...

    6.5 creedmoor or 6.5prc

    ok maybe we're both off. quick search on ammoseek got 43 creed and 4 prc so roughly 10:1. i have both calibers and have seen a fair amount of both, outside of gunbroker. unfortunately prices suck, but at least for hunting use, a handful of boxes should get you thru a year incl some sight in...

    6.5 creedmoor or 6.5prc

    eh a little more juice never hurts, go for the prc. i've seen equal (albeit rare) availability of creed and prc ammo online recently. sell your soul and buy 10+ boxes and you should be set for a while.

    Third season CO, to camp or not

    back in '18 first rifle, my first elk hunt, we stayed at a motel about 1.5-2 hours from where we parked to hike in, nowhere to stay really closer. it was pretty brutal, getting up that much earlier every day and getting back that much later. and if a buncha snow had hit, the roads might have...
