    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    Tikka. And while you’re at it sell the Vanguard to buy a second Tikka in .243 or 6.5 if you can swing it.

    Darwinism. Is Tikka the King

    Likewise. One rifle with two barrels (.223 and 6.5) that can be broken down into the size of a suitcase and then be put back together in less than a minute with absolute repeatability and reliability. The whole package is pretty unbelievable. That said, Tikkas more than fit the bill for my uses...

    Nightforce Moisture issues

    even if this is a consistent issue at Maxord classes, I think one of the factors might just be service life. LE agencies rarely have the funding to be purchasing new optics every few years. Outside of large metro full time teams of federal teams, almost no agency is regularly purchasing new...

    Nightforce Moisture issues

    Have you ever seen this with ATACR’s @Formidilosus?

    Your heavily used hunting rifle

    I love well worn and used rifles. Too many guys pay for ridiculous “worn” cerakote jobs rather than actually go out and use their stuff. This is the real deal. As an aside, this thread reminds me of a story of a sheep farmer in Alberta who used the same .22-250 every day for years, killing ~3...

    Why Nightforce ?

    You do realize that many optic manufacturers optimize their coatings for the lighting conditions in retail stores right? So when you’re viewing in store it appears “brighter” or “clearer” than the competition. That said, this doesn’t carry over to actual use in the field. Nightforce doesn’t do...

    Leupold catching on? Impact testing? Huh?

    Except they don’t replicate actually dropping the rifle or induce the same zero shifts that would be possible from even small drops, which are bound to happen from time to time if you carry a rifle long enough. I see you’re always on here pushing back against the drop tests and their results...

    Riflescope debate

    Yes, and some (the good ones) are made to take abuse and work correctly after taking that abuse. If you had some trucks built to drive over craters and some trucks unable to withstand potholes, no one would buy the latter. Yet the same thing occurs in the scope world and it’s a big point of...

    Riflescope debate

    Really? If you drop your gun or it takes a slide/impact while strapped to your pack you’re gonna hike back 5-6 miles to the truck? Maybe in some situations if you’re not hiking in very far that would work, but not for anyone I hunt with or myself. That’s a good way to waste a day of the season...

    Riflescope debate

    This is probably the worst counter point I’ve ever heard on here, and the bar is pretty high to be honest. Things happen and rifles get dropped. Particularly if you’re exhausted and moving in tough country. Why people accept scopes that can’t handle even minor abuse is mind boggling to me...

    Compilation of Formidilosus posts

    Even if it was just a disorganized compilation of all of his posts I’d buy it. He’s saved me so much time and money at this point even at $100 a pop, it’s already paid for itself many times over.

    Ice/snow comparison between rifles

    While we’re at it…..Have you played around with the Blaser much in these conditions to see how they compare to a Tikka/Sako? Also what are your thoughts on the detachable trigger with the Blaser?

    Nothing wrong with the Toyota Tacoma* of guns

    Ice/snow comparison between rifles

    Do you ever have issues with rust on the bolt/action in extreme cold? Just got off a late season elk hunt in over -20 and the Tikka CTR got rust in a few spots on the bolt/barrel/action despite having some oil in those areas. To clarify, it was about -40°C for most of the hunt. Didn’t wipe down...

    Remington m700 alpha

    Curious, why would you choose one of his with a Tikka trigger over just a regular Tikka action?

    FORMADILIOUS.........I'm calling you OUT!!

    What do you think of the Q Fix for a do all, field rifle compared to the Blaser or Tikka CTR/KRG combo?

    Black A-MAX vs Match ELD-M Factory Loads

    Hey Form, how do you find the BTHP (75gr .223 in particular) compares to the AMAX/ELD accuracy wise? Sufficient for deer out of a .223?

    Is hunting still THAT FUN anymore?

    I’ve debated looking at making a move from Canada to the US given our current political situation. Reading posts like this makes me realize being able to own AR’s again is maybe not worth giving up the hunting opportunities I have here. It’s a simple supply/demand issue. Tough call either way.

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    What’s the Tikka typically set from the factory at? I’ve never adjusted or measured the pull weight on mine and am just used to shooting them from the factory as they are.

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    I’ve been shooting a lot of paper at 50/100 lately with both a .22 and .223. A ton of positional work from low/high kneeling supported, sitting supported, and prone. Between this and dryfire, I’ve been able to signiifcantly improve despite only shooting once every 3-4 weeks. Due to my job, I...
