I made a batch of venison snack sticks using the premade seasoning packets from the brand Hi Mountain a few moths ago and smoked the links and put them in the freezer. I usually take one out of the freezer in the morning and have it for s snack during the day.
I am thinking of taking some of...
I have not used the q tip method for burrs but I can check it. Looking at it with naked eye and through borescope looked ok. Barrel is confirmed to be free floating now. When I received it back from the gunsmith it was making contact. It was visible where he removed some of the wood to...
I haven’t talked to the gunsmith yet. The guy wasn’t hesitant to work on it because of the challenges to get the barrel off and the metric threads from what he explained.
I did also notice this evening that the rear action screw was making a lot of contact with the pillar wall and after...
The trigger is a Timney set around 2.5 lbs. I haven’t actually weighed the rifle but it weighs as much as a couple of my other guns that are in the 10-11 pound range.

I personally have 2 each 7 mags and both shoot exceptionally well with my reloads in sub MOA off bipods and rear sand bag...

A couple years I got back into working out and trying to stay in shape year round. In February started with step ups with weighted pack on leg days. June I will try and start making trips to the mountains and looking for some animals.
I do not have a Tikka but my 7 Rem Mag load is 175 Bergers over Retumbo, with CCI 250's. Could not quickly get the H1000 load to work vs the Retumbo so I stuck with Retumbo.
Check your twist rate for any of the heavier bullets if you ever look at going to a heavier bullet.
