Ok Status update, it's off!
The leather was just too slippery so I went with the toilet paper roll as suggested. I used a Wheeler #1 action wrench with the top cap flipped. I then used the skinny flat on the bottom face of the wrench on the underside of the action on the flat right behind...

Remington Core Lokt really? I'll be, never had luck with that stuff. Maybe the Czech's will make it more consistent. https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/czechoslovak-group-acquires-federal-cci-hevi-shot-remington-ammo-speer/
Tikka x2. Once you get used to a bolt action feeling that way you can't go back. Everyone I've had or used has performed out of the box. My only gripe is the factory stocks on the lite rifles leave a lot to be desired. I'd either just use it as is until I can upgrade to something better or...
4mm is a big difference, yeah pun intended <wink wink>, tube size.

The 6x swfa is a tad chunky at 20oz and I already purchased a 1" direct mount. Is there a light 2-8 or did you mean the 2.5-10. This one has my attention other than backordered but is MOA only.
What are your favorite mil hunting scopes? I've been looking for something mil based for my new tikka project but wanted to keep it as light as possible. With that in mind I was looking for 1" scopes but the only scopes I keep finding are a couple of 3-9 trijicon scopes and I've not had a ton...
I guess it was enviable that I wanted to click on pictures and not get the please login message to see the full size.
Mostly I'm here because I just like bolt actions, camo, camping and taking your poker money (lets be honest I never come home with more than I started) and I probably won't ever...
