    New to 7mm Rem Mag & western whitetail

    All good options above. My Tikka T3SL shoots the Barnes TTSX 160 grain factory load into tiny groups. Has always been very good on Whitetails.

    Mounting options for VX3 HD 4.5-14 x 50mm on Tikka T3X Superlite

    Don’t know about the rail and rings but I have four Tikkas with the 40mm Leupolds (not the 50mm). They all are mounted in DNZ Game Reapers. Absolutely no problems.

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    I hunt with 260 REM, 6.5 PRC, 308 Win, 7RM and 300 WM. I have never weighed any of my rifles but would assume that my Tikka T3 SL in 7RM with a Leupold 4.5 x 14 and my Browning HCS in 300WM with the same scope both weigh 8 lbs or under. I don’t shoot a lot but enjoy shooting all of my rifles...

    Trouble choosing between Tikka t3x superlite and browning x-bolt speed spr

    I own a Tikka T3 SL in 7RM, Browning HCS in 300 WM and Christensen Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. I am happy with any one of the three while hunting. All three are accurate with factory ammunition. The only altering I’ve done on these is a spring in the HCS and a Timney in the Ridgeline. If all three...

    Talley Mounts for Xbolt?

    I have a Browning HCS in 300WM that had Talley LW’s and had no problem until I changed scopes. The scope I changed to had less adjustment and I could not adjust enough to get on target. I knew that the scope I pulled off didn’t have that problem but didn’t know at the time it had more...

    Looking for a new rifle, CA Ridgeline, Ridgeline FFT, or Bergara Ridge Carbon

    I don’t have any experience with the Bergera but do own both the Tikka in 7RM and a Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. The Tikka is a SL. I am pleased with both but if I were to buy a new rifle it would be the Tikka due to the price point.

    Tally mounts & rings running out of windage problems

    Had the same problem with Talley’s on a Browning Xbolt. Had all the same answers above. Ordered DNZ Game Reapers and solved the problem. Had to turn my turrets half way to get back to center.

    What has actually quit on you in the field?

    Ruger 44 auto rifle jammed while shooting at a buck I had jumped on a deer drive. Sold it the next week. Live round stuck in the chamber of a Howa 1500 on a very dusty western hunt after firing a successful shot. Now carry a back up rifle on all travel hunts.

    2-10x Leupold vs 3-15x for .270 Win rifle

    4.5-14 is the best of both worlds.
