    WTS Tikka 243 takeoff and left handed bolt -interest check

    Any interest in a 243win 1:8 takeoff and left handed tikka bolt? I'm trying to build a 223 tikka in left handed since they seem unatainium. Wondering how much $$ I could recoup selling factory takeoffs so I can buy a 223 bolt and a prefit To be clear, I don't have anything for sale yet,just...

    Left hand tikkas, does 223 rem exist?

    Also frustrating, it looks like I can't get a left in blued/synthetic either. Have to go stainless at a minimum. Which is not bad, just more expensive.

    Left hand tikkas, does 223 rem exist?

    Does a 22-250 have enough freebore to run the heavies without being seated way down into the case?

    Left hand tikkas, does 223 rem exist?

    Euro optic has a SS 243 for 799 then the rebate brings it down to 725. Is that a pretty common price? Or a deal a guy shouldn't pass up?

    Left hand tikkas, does 223 rem exist?

    Bummer. Thanks for the info though. I was considering 6creed, but figured even a 16-17 inch 243 should get me enough distance

    Left hand tikkas, does 223 rem exist?

    Title says it all. Are 223 tikkas available In left handed? Im diving down the smaller cartridge rabbit hole and was hopping for a 223 for the economy and because I rarely shoot over 450yds. If no 223, I'm thinking a 243 1:8 is my best bet. It will be chopped down to 17 or so for a suppressor...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I'm in MT, I would have to double check but I don't think there is a cal. restriction. Maybe I should just go 223? I suppose 6mm is better for wind, but then again maybe it does not matter much inside 500. From their respective threads ,it looks like wound channels are very similar between 223...

    Best Pac Boot for Idaho Late Season Elk Hunting?

    I've used pacs extensively. I highly recommend a insulated hunting boot. The crispi wildrock with 400gram insulation is by far wamer than any of the thinsulate lined pacs I've used by far and you can actually hike in them.

    Soooo I’m thinking about .243- few questions

    90gr AB shot well out of my wife's older vanguard 243 with a 10 twist barrel fyi. I'm thinking of dusting it off and trying a match bullet though. It shoots 95gr berger classic hunters very well too. May try a eldx or the 95gr NBT

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Thanks for the comparison. Close indeed. As are most centerfiee rifles inside 400 yds or so from what I recall. Thanks for posting 👍

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    My question was in context of the 95 nbt. Reason being I've never shot an animal past about 450yds., and honestly don't currently have the ability to shoot over that. So if my shots on deer and elk are 95% under 300yds, is there any reason a person should go with say a 243 instead of a 223? The...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    If a person we're only shooting 4-500 yds to begin with, is there even a worth while difference over a standard .223 with proper bullet for deer/elk? Just curious because some of the kill photos here look like a lot of meat loss on closer shots particularly.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Sure looks it. I was thinking a 6mm might be my next deer/elk round, but maybe 22cal is a better route. That 108 looks rough

    Surveyors! What is your daypack?

    I could never get away from a vest for having a clino, compass, reli, laser, pencils, Tatum and flagging ribbon handy. I've used a pack a time or 2 but don't like having to take everything off everyone a need something. My latest vest is a mesh cruiser from "Deakin" in Vancouver BC which I like...

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    What the LRBR folks are able to achieve is really stunning.. truly impressive. Given their level of precision I would not doubt they could sniff out the effects of smaller changes as outlined above. My question to the BR guys would be... could you take a popular hunting setup such as a tikka...
