    What's wrong with 270 WSM?

    As has been said many times before, bullets matter more than headstamps. On either side of it (6.5mm and 7mm) there are superior projectiles and numerous case size options, both larger and smaller. With those being constants, .277 is always a concessionary choice.

    Custom mini Canadian belt knife

    The dishwasher is a very bad place for any knives, but especially non stainless and wood. The heat/detergent combo is no bueno. I have a grohmann #2 in carbon with the flat grind (very important) and a cold steel version. Used the cold steel to process my last buck and it was the best knife...

    UM Tikka Rings vs….

    There’s a difference between marketing and unbiased demonstrations revealing what works well/what doesn’t.

    New tikka question.

    How much (monetarily) do you value SS vs carbon steel action? I’d say barrels (unfired takeoffs) are worth $100 on the high end. UM has them priced accordingly with quite a bit of stock, caliber dependent. I bet a compact synthetic right handed stock is the easiest to sell in the classifieds...

    UM Tikka Rings vs….

    Agree with the above. Compared to UM lows, T084 are lighter, a bit cheaper, mount the scope slightly lower and have a great/equal track record from what I’ve read. I’ve had both and much prefer the UM/Sportsmatch direct mount to a rail. Fewer fasteners to (possibly) fail, definitely lower (for...

    Tell me to shut up and buy the Tikka

    Don’t the tikkas chambered in short vs long action from the factory have different bolt stops anyway? Meaning, the short action chamberings have a shorter pull? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the “issue” and I only have a 223 at the moment. I sure didn’t notice anything of that nature when I used it...

    Tell me to shut up and buy the Tikka

    Anything else even in the ballpark of the T3x price range carries far more significant compromises compared to the theoretical “compromises” you described above. Think barrels, triggers, optic mounting options, magazines, etc. I.e. the important things. I, and many others who shoot Tikkas and...

    Sold Grohmann Carbon #1 Canadian Belt Knife

    Selling a new, never used Grohmann #1 Canadian Belt Knife in carbon steel with rosewood handles and the flat grind option. I purchased multiple and need to thin the herd. This is a legendary blade and a fantastic field game knife. I much prefer the flat grind to the sabre grind for game use...

    Geissele Super 700 Equivalent?

    Anyone know why Geissele discontinued the Super 700? Hopefully not a safety issue. I have one 700 and it has a 2 stage Super 700. I like the trigger.

    Sold Kimber Montana 223 1:7" Rock Creek/Shaen Magan

    Thanks, guys. No targets but it shoots great. Shaen does absolute top notch work and I believe he’s worked up a few .223 Montanas to shoot the good projectiles like this. He knows what he’s doing, for sure.

    Sold Kimber Montana 223 1:7" Rock Creek/Shaen Magan

    Need to make some room so I'm letting a good one go. This is a Kimber Montana .223. Purchased new by me, I sent it to Shaen Magan (Shaen Rifles) and had a 1:7" twist Rock Creek 5r stainless barrel installed to shoot 75/77 grain heavies which it does very well. Factory contour 21". He adjusted...
