    Trying to decide....Model 70 EW, Tikka T3x or Sako A7

    Funny story. My first Tikka came by way of an exchange. I bought a m70 black shadow in the then new 223 wssm. Turned out it had a factory headspace problem. Rick at Grice gun shop offered me a refund or exchange. I had looked at Tikka a time or two. Thought it was Prime time to try one. A...

    Trying to decide....Model 70 EW, Tikka T3x or Sako A7

    No implication. Just a cold hard fact. Dragging cartridges out from under feed rails,that likely need deburred, can't and never will feed as smoothly as a single stack. I harbour no hatred toward staggered mags,I've owned a couple dozen or so. Nearly as many single stack. Just can't change the...

    Trying to decide....Model 70 EW, Tikka T3x or Sako A7

    T3X. Single stack will always out feed a staggered magazine. Claw or no claw. I've been shooting and hand loading for over 40 years and never experienced an extraction failure. Push feed or controlled. I do love a short action rifle for short rounds,but that didn't stop me from buying a...

    Rifle opinions

    I've been mighty tempted to try a Hells Canyon in 26 Nosler. Nosler wants WAY too much for their rifles. Heavy and not all that exciting. My B.I.L. Has one. Decent shooter,but not worth the asking price. I just can't get on board with the grippy stocks on the Browning.

    What caliber(s)?

    My Kimber loved 150 and 165 grain bullets over Rl 17 and Imr 4350. On the stiff side to boot. Max or just under.

    What caliber(s)?

    T3X 270 Win. 6X Super Sniper in Talley rings. Should be about enough jingle left over for an over the counter Colorado elk license. No time like the present. Get after em.

    Tikka caliber?

    Had a T3 stainless in 338 Win mag. I think it makes more sense in that configuration than the 300 Win mag. If for no other reason than mag length.

    UA 5.0 vs other Core clothing

    I too wear UA 5.0 layering. But,I also use the Sitka core light hoodie. Core next to skin. UA 5.0 next. Then either the Timberline or Kelvin lite. For most of my eastern whitetail hunting I'll wear the Timberline over the Kelvin. Unless it's quite cold,I'm good for the day. I love the core...

    6.5 CM - Nosler 140 Gr Accubond?

    Isn't that the truth? I don't know what it is about the 143 ELD-X. Slow poke suminabutch. Shoots like gangbusters thoigh. It's like the yard stick by which creed bullets are judged .

    Weatherby vanguard camilla

    My 21 year old daughter shoots a Camelia in six five creed. That thing flat loved cheap American Whitetail 129 grain. She is maybe 120 lb and has no complaints with the rifle or round.

    Tikka T3x 300 WinMag - Why the 24" barrel with 1:11 twist?

    Thanks Luke. That answered a lot of my questions. I was thinking along the lines of using a long factory mag,with a 300 WSM and a bolt stop change.
