    Not a Super Grade, but my featherweight is a shooter. I love the action.

    Park west arms

    I got to handle a few at the Dallas Safari Club event in January. They were gorgeous, felt like quality and reasonably light. I fell in love, but the budget hates the idea.

    G19 to G26 to G43 to P365 and some in between

    I love my G43 as well. Shield ARMs makes a 9 round mag. I bought sold a P365 because the 43 is better imo.

    T3x Lite vs all other Tikka models - Practically speaking

    I got the Roughtech 6.5 PRC and it balances very well even with the 24" barrel and a suppressor. The barrel profile and flutes are nicely done. The only change I would make is to have a cerakoted version.

    6.5CM Monometal factory loadings - anyone had success?

    I don't know if it is Fuddlore, but I have heard it is better for accuracy to clean a barrel down to bare metal if you switch to copper.

    6.5 CM For New Hunter

    eBay is your friend. Lots of wood stocks (easily shortened) for low dollars. I think the plastic stocks can be shortened as well.

    Support for 6.8 western?

    In North Texas, there are not a lot of magnum cartridges on the shelves. Maybe, I will see (1-2) 7RM or 300WM load available on the shelves. Based upon what is on the shelves we buy a lot of 270.

    Buying my first Tikka, what to upgrade first?

    Tikka's are factory rifles that work fantastic. Consequently, they are a great platform to build a semi custom rifle off of. People aren't making modifications because they do not work. They are upgrading/customizing the rifles. There is nothing "wrong" with my rifle. It feeds great. The...

    Support for 6.8 western?

    and was surprised to see how many loads they published. If there wasn't demand, why would they give it that much space?

    280 AI Barrel Length for Suppressor

    I took my 20" 280AI out to test my new Garmin chrono today. To test how must velocity I was leaving on the table, I shot a few rounds of Hornady Prevision Hunter @62g. The box said the velocity was 2850 in their 24" test barrel. I got 2710. I was getting just under 3000fps with the 145 LRX...

    Griffin armament

    I have a 9mm can. Their customer service & documentation is prettty weak. If they had proper documentation, I would have been able to tell that I had the wrong booster in the box a lot quicker. Life is too short to deal with them again.

    New Federal Fusion TIPPED…. Thoughts

    Fusions are a great deal. If the tipped version shoots accurately, it will put a lot of pressure on Nosler.

    Options for reducing Tikka T3x recoil

    I would like a slightly thinner recoil pad to reduce LOP on my 6.5 PRC. The recoil doesn't bother me, but I feel life I control it better when my LOP is closer to 13".

    280 AI Barrel Length for Suppressor

    I had my 24" barrel cut to 20" because I wanted to use my suppressor. Using the same box of factor ammo using the 140g Nosler BT. I lost 100fps. I am glad I went with the 20" barrel.
