    New SWFA scopes!!!

    Seems the turrets are slightly different in terms of shape and connection. Looking forward to more details.

    Apex Afterburner

    I wanted to bump this as I’ve been looking at these as well. I’ve been using the 125gr Cutting Edge Lazer this year and have been much happier with its performance compared to Barnes TTSX/LRX, but recently stumbled across Apex. The 6mm Afterburner has me particularly interested.

    Direct Mount Scope Rings?

    I ended up going with a rail and wish I did it sooner. It has been absolutely solid. I didn’t love the currently available rail options though, so I got a Murphy custom one in Aluminum, with a shortened front rail and not as tall of a footprint. Expensive, but I bonded it to the action and it...

    Backcountry rifle set up for around $3000

    This. Except keep the factory spring. I would consider .243 or 6.5 Creed if you want a factory chambering. 6 Creed for a swapped barrel.

    Tikka Nitriding

    I’m getting the nitride, pockets and fluting done on one for the heck of it, but suspect I won’t touch the actions and bolts of my other Tikkas. Sure looks pretty cool though.

    Excited to hear the LE stocks will be arriving soon and that UM is working out all the production kinks. Would love to get mine in time to use to an end of December hunt.

    Show your Tikka ten round groups

    One with the Tikka .308 with the fixed 6x. I’d like to see how much I can tighten this up over the winter.

    Show your Tikka ten round groups

    Strong crosswind when shooting, but I was really happy with the results. Not sure how much the wind really matters for this close anyway. Back in the saddle with the Tikka .223.

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    Out of curiosity. How many rounds are you shooting a year, and how often do you check torque or retorque. In my experience, oil on the screws and lots of use is a recipe for a loose screw. I’ve come to like the loctite and not worry about it.

    Hard to beat a smart phone and GPS app these days.

    If you mean from Stocky’s, there may have been a couple small weather events that caused some delays in general deliveries and production for many SE industries.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I’m not sure if it’s old news, but the 95 TMKs had all but disappeared for awhile it seemed. But they’re back in stock with Sierra for those who like the bullet.

    Rifle and Scope?

    My go-to is my Fieldcraft in 6.5CM with a SWFA 3-9. With a custom rail and Ken Farrell rings, it’s all-in at 6.85lb. I don’t use a sling and I’d add a suppressor if it was legal here. Even in 6.5CM, it’s a little jumpy to stay in the sight picture for spotting impacts under 400 yards for me...

    KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

    I like a shorter LOP right around 12.8", but I imagine I'm not in the majority.
