    The official unofficial tikka t1x thread

    I have a 20” one, was unable to find a 16” in the states. Leupold Mark AR 4-12 and a Dead Air Mask, it shoots a ragged hole at 50 yards with CCI SV. Fun to line up .410 hulls at the range and shoot them also. I’m undecided if I want to pick up a walnut stock for it or just go with a Bell and...

    Got bit

    To the OP, stuff like “he‘s only allowed in our bed occasionally“ is part of the problem. Consistency is everything with smart, stubborn dogs, they will push the limits every time. I’d go back and work on basic obedience with him. If he’s next to you and you open the door to your house, does he...

    Got bit

    I’m speaking towards sporting dog breeds. As a whole they are not skittish and will not become timid from a beating so long as they understand what it was for. You don’t hit a dog out of frustration when it’s not doing what you want. You don’t hit a a dog for peeing in the house 3 hours after...

    Got bit

    It should have been dealt with in the moment, all you can do at this point is try to provoke him again to get a second chance at it. If it were my dog I’d have him by the collar with one hand and the other one an open palm going to town on his face for 15-20 seconds while yelling “no” as loud as...

    Zeiss Conquest V4 vs Swarovski Z3 Wet Weather Performance

    I definitely think the lens coatings play a role in preventing fogging. I’ve never had an issue with my Leupold’s besides it fogging for a few minutes going from inside the truck or camp outdoors besides that one day. It was the sort of thing where it felt like if you stuck your hand out long...

    Sig’s warranty with electro optics

    I don’t think I’ll be buying any more Sig optics. I bought a Kilo 2000 several years ago when they were the only real alternative to something like the Vectronix. I still have no major complaints about it besides the glass quality being horrible. I don’t use it to scan but it can be tough to...

    Zeiss Conquest V4 vs Swarovski Z3 Wet Weather Performance

    Following this. I have a V4 I haven’t used much yet, I did have an issue with one of my Leupold’s fogging repeatedly during one of those clammy, cold, dew point days. I have a couple of the flip open shoot through lens caps, wonder if they would work in situations where you don’t need to make a...

    Shoot a Montana Bighorn for only 5K..

    I have joked about that driving through CO and seeing them walking around from the highway. “I’d be out of jail before I would draw a tag” 😆

    Disputed sale of boots from me

    One of two things likely happened, sadly either way I wouldn’t be surprised. #1 The boots were substantially more than a year old, and despite only being used once broke down. Unfortunately a lot of my gear fails from age rather than wear. Tents delaminate, sleeping pad baffles separate, waders...

    Outboard Boat Motors?

    Might want to look at tournament restrictions for youth. Many of them will not allow tillers and require an adult driver. Hp and 2 or 4 stroke aren’t usually regulated.

    Help with Kuiu setup for September elk hunt

    90% of the time in September I’m only wearing Attack pants and the lightest weight long sleeved merino there is (smart wool). I have the 145 merino zip off base layer bottoms, but I really only wear them in camp in the mornings. As soon as I start hiking they come off at the first break and I...

    Maximum distance for a .44 mag from a pistol

    If that chart is correct, that’s 739 FEET of drop. We’re then shooting off the rim of a canyon and the guy who was hit was down below? 100 ft-lbs is about what a .22 Lr does from the muzzle, so I could see something happening. If that’s what really happened, it seems like one of those “when...

    Zeiss Diascope vs …

    Been following this. I bought one this year as they seem to be better than most others in the (used) price range. From what I’ve heard they are slightly better than the original Japanese Razor HD’s, which are a step above the current ones. Just what I’ve read, never looked through a Razor.

    Euro Mount Smell

    I’ve only had a Euro done on one deer but never noticed a smell. Can‘t say I’ve sniffed it but we put it in the back of our car and drove it home for an hour with zero comments from the wife. It hangs in the home office and I never catch a whiff of anything when I’m right next to it.

    Help me find a drink

    Try a good rum. El Dorado 12 is my favorite. It is actually sweeter than bourbon, but it’s a change of pace. When I want a scotch, I want Islay, Laphroaig 10, Ardbeg 10, or Lagavulin 16. I’m sure there are plenty of others but I don’t branch out a lot as I don’t drink it often. I will drink a...

    The gun IS ALWAYS loaded!

    Sad deal, I don’t see how this stuff continues to happen, same as somebody who gets shot wearing a brown jacket because they were “mistaken for a deer.” When I take a rifle out of the safe, I make sure it is empty. When I get out of the truck I will load it if I’m walking in after daylight...

    WTS Black Friday Sale Friday November 20th - Monday November 29th

    You bought something a month ago but expect the current sale price? I could see if it had been on backorder and delayed to where you still hadn’t received it, but that’s in no way “standard practice.”

    Christmas Gifts under $200

    I’m in a similar boat, anything I really need I buy, and I don’t like gimmicky junk or trinkets. Wife generally just buys me my gun range membership which I really enjoy, and a handful of clothes and gadgets to open. This year she really wants some substantial jewelry, so I’ve sent her a few...
