    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    I like the leather grip. Did you build up gluing stacks of leather or use a foam base?

    Would you buy this scope?

    For the FOV vs magnification argument it all depends on what someone needs more. I would take an extra 4’-5’ FOV on the lower end vs an extra 2x on the top end. Not sure what the perceived “people” who kill 1 animal a year would want. And no I won’t be buying this scope unless import rules change.

    Has anyone experienced burn out due to shift work and night shift?

    Some great info here. I’ve done shift work for 15 years.12 hr shifts,2 days 2 nights, 4 off. I enjoy my job so it hasn’t been terrible but I’m starting to look for a daytime position for better home life. A few things that have worked for me: - Routine is huge. Figure out a system before...

    Insulated jackets that can rival a puffy?

    Just ordered a Montbell Upland down parka to try out on a late season mule deer hunt. 7.1 oz fill weight and weighs 19 oz. Was looking at the alpine parka but it only weighs 3 oz less and has same fill weight. Upland was also $100 cheaper. For my purposes it should work. Bought it off the Japan...

    You pay for just single color? Looks like 3 colors to me. If that’s the case I might have to rethink my color scheme.

    Charter fishing - tip

    As a former fishing guide I would average about $200 a day. This was a large operation and I would have the same guests for 4 days. $100 for 1/2 day is fair. Base the tip on overall experience and effort by guide not necessarily the amount of fish caught. Working with 30 other guides it was well...

    Trijicon Huron 3-9x40 BDC 307 shipped

    I have the 3-12 Huron on a 284 win. No issues with eye relief for me and easy to get behind. Can’t compare to the 3-9 but I like the FOV and magnification for my purposes.

    Thanks for the reference photo, should balance fine then. Maybe somebody with standard sling studs can also chime in. Looking to see how it balances while carried with a basic setup.

    How much further forward did you get the sling stud moved? Similar problem with 24” #3 contour. Still waiting on stock.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    Question about paint pens to those that have used them. Are you applying to entire surface of screw threads, bottom half, just a line etc…? Also using same pen as witness mark for top? Interesting topic, looking to try something different. Thanks

    Rokstok review thread

    I bet if you msgd UM they might ship you out a spacer. Got a Rokstok ordered with LOP spacer and it didn’t cost extra.

    Go brown, just because black would match and be the typical answer

    Looks good. Do you find the leather affects cheek weld height? As in, if you would normally go low rings without leather do you find you need to go medium with?

    Dumb question. Are the paint pens for witness marks or is it actually a substitute for thread locker?

    What's the cerakote color scheme on this one? Looks great!

    PSE composites stocks experience?

    Came to the conclusion that for me, trigger reach was too long and forend was to square and flat. Wasn’t 100% what I wanted for my custom build. I also have small hands and shoot off hand when required. Would be a great stock for some but didn’t quite fit me or my style of hunting.

    Thank you for info, looks like a no brainer now. Still going to go cross eyed looking at cerakote colours.

    Makes sense. Not sure if it’s screws or glue attaching butt pad. Obviously would make a difference for ease of adjustability. Maybe someone has already chimed in on how it’s being attached

    Question about LOP options. If you order a 14'' LOP will the spacer be removable to bring it down to 13.5''? Reason being is I know I generally like 13.75'' in standard sporter stocks and not sure how the fit is on this one. I might be overthinking it but nice to have options, especially if/when...
