I would not buy anything from CA. I have a mesa that shoots like absolute dog shit and is essentially a paperweight.
Buy a tikka, rebarrel it and put it in your stock of choice and it will shoot. Or buy a roughtech and don’t worry so much about your weight.
Depends on twist. I have a tikka 1:8 243 and it loved the 105 bergers VLD. I’ve killed a coyote and and antelope with them and had great results but that’s the limits of my anecdote.
I couldn’t get the 90-95 grain options to shoot for shit but the standard 1:10 243s probably love those.
I’m in southern IN and there’s 5-6 ranges within an hour that coordinate their schedules so there is a shoot nearly every weekend spring thru fall so there’s always an option.
So it must be regional?
Just for context - I bought the rifle online and it was listed as OD Green but this is definitely more tan than green. It’s off a t3x super lite - not a roughtech.
We bought a traverse new in 2022 and have 3 kids in it and have made multiple treks to FL in it. No I’m major issues after 30k miles but just wish it had more damn cup holders! The auto cruise is a game changer in long trips. We have the v6
We have our 4 year old front facing in a car seat in...
I bought one to play with and I never made it past that. To me you’re still gonna punch if you punch in the heat of the moment, click or not. I’ll take a hinge myself.
But it is a good idea and it does bridge a gap for those who don’t want or don’t know how to use a hinge - especially for...
This may have been covered but there’s 400 comments…
Is there plans to test more than 1 maven 1.2 (exact same model)? I’m asking because it would be nice to know 3/3 of the same scope passed all the same tests vs 1/1. This would help paint a picture of overall reliability.
I understand money...
Yeah that’s where I’ve been leaning. I looked at UM but they were almost $1000 after fluting and that’s just a lot to stomach on a build I’m trying to keep reasonable.
Ironically I did message that guy on that barrel but I was too slow!
When I say #3 I’m using it loosely - I mostly mean I’m looking for a heavier sporter thick enough to spiral flute so I was looking at UM’s #3 or a bartlein #3 as my basis and planned to match the contour with whatever said barrels contour is close to that.
I’m currently suffering from serious paralysis by analysis….
I’m putting together a 7 PRC tikka and I’m not sure what the best prefit option is.
Here is what I want:
-7 PRC
-stainless
-20 inch (running a can)
-5/8 threaded
-spiral flute
-#3 sporter contour
-shouldered (no nut)
I’ve looked...
I’m putting together a 7 PRC on a tikka action and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the amount of different proprietary contours available. I am looking at having UM chamber an ACE barrel amongst a few other options.
This will be strictly a hunting rifle and I plan to do 18” in because I have a DD LTI...
