That’s the exact deal I keep coming back to. I like mils. Radians make sense to me. I like the demo discount. Nightforce has a good reputation obviously. But I keep question if the extra $200 for the maven is the right thing to do. Is there really any difference to justify the extra cost?
So I actually have a gen 1 viper pst 4-16x50 that I had on the tikka when it was a .308. I could never really get it to shoot right and I couldn’t really narrow it down to anything in particular. Although admittedly I never really tried. Part of me wants to get a new optic just to see if the...
Hey all you optic nerds out there I am in desperate need of some direction. Growing up in Ohio I never really paid much attention to rifles/optics until I moved out west. Been mostly an archery guy prior to this. But I started putting together a tikka chambered in 6.5x284 that I will be using...
Work just took me back up here for the winter so I am looking to pick up a whitetail otc archery tag to fill some time. Do the badlands hold any real numbers of whitetail that you all know of? I’ve seen a few along the highways but don’t really know if it’s worth it for a couple days of spot and...
Yeah I feel like there’s more bad than good out there about those mags so I’ll probably stick with the oem plastic. I was curious about the Hell’s canyon mags too but I believe those are built for short action fat magnum cartridges. Not sure how the 6.5x284 would fair in those...
Hey all - quick question for you tikka gurus.
Im in the process of building a semi custom tikka in 6.5x284 off of a .308 action. I have the original short action magazine and need to get a LA magazine. I threw on some MT bottom metal and like the idea of getting away from plastic components. I...
I have a short action stock tikka mag and just threw a 6.5x284 barrel on my action. Looking for a long action stock mag or a billet mag that fits the factory bottom metal. Hoping for a straight trade but I’ll sell it if anyone needs an extra. Not sure what they go for so just name a price...
If you want not touristy and good accessible fishing it’s hard to beat the Baja. I know it’s not the Caribbean but some of those small towns have incredible food, cheap housing, and early summer for fishing is some of the best in the world. La Paz if you want some amenities. Los barriles, La...
I have a preferred barrels shouldered prefit coming for a tikka here soon. They quote 8-10 weeks for shipping on the prefits and Im coming up on 8 weeks right now. Hopefully I see a shipping email here shortly.
For what it’s worth I have zero smithing experience and plan on doing this start to...
