I wanted to order this in a tungsten with carbon tear but didn't find the comments when I ordered from the phone. It looks good and a few color combos standard would be a nice idea.
It's not that bad. You'll eat a lot of green jello and funeral potatoes, drink "dirty" soda and learn some new phrases like "oh my heck". Oh, and don't get excited about going to a stake house, it's not what you think.
After you're 6 months into your residency you'll establish residency...
Yes, and I should have listened to it the first time. I got home and forgot to do it. My third session I only got a few 223 rounds off before it crapped out. I missed nearly all of my 270wsm i really wanted data on. Nothing worked until I drove back to service and updated while connected to...
I used code "Reagan" and paid full price but didn't feel bad when it was over. I tried to stack Code "HW Bush" for no new taxes but I'll be damned if they didn't get added back in after checkout.
I went back and forth on the tear pattern but opted for bare carbon because there wasn't much info available. I'd love to see a single color with shading in the tear pattern that's already on a stock. Maybe my next one can be that way.
I didn't update mine and missed multiple shots last time I was out. Unfortunately, the whole trip was about SD and different primers. I drove back to service and updated it for the last shots.
Moral of the story is to power it on and update the damn thing before you leave civilization or...
I go hand tight and retighten during the first shooting session. If the barrel gets hot and you hand tighten then it likely isn't coming off by itself after cooling.
I just bought a new tikka 300wsm last month. Pulled the barrel off that same day. It will live it's best life as a 6.5prc.
So the answer is yes, a 300wsm is worth buying.
I'll have to check my notes but I remember my chromoly barrel not losing as much as I thought. 6.5cm cut to 20" and only lost about 18 fps per inch I think.
The owners from tract and maven came from other established optics companies. My guess is there was a previous relationship that made the transition easier.
Not all blueing is created equal. I have mostly cerakoted Tikka rifles that were blued. Prior to cerakoting they'd show rust on an oiled rag after a humid hunt. I had older firearms that I've hunted with in Louisiana that never showed corrosion with minimal care.
I had two discs rupture when I was younger. PT told me I had tight hamstrings and to stretch. That resulted in shooting pain down the leg. Long story short, I got one of them fixed and deal with the other. It's been 24 years and I still deal with it but I'm pretty active in both my job and...
I have the tract toric you mentioned and a credo in SFP. Both are great scopes, imo. I do recall the tract not doing so well in any of the drop tests but it's already outlasted all my vortex scopes that have moved on to a better life.
