Howa Mini hinged floorplate bottom metal

Looks really good. Did you do the stock? One of those is on my short list, Form had good to say about them too. Do you know what the stock weighs now?

Anyone use 8x32’s for everything?

I use Leica 8x32BN Trinovids. When I find something better I'll switch. Been stuck with these for 20 years.

It has become obsolete to my needs, I might let it go.

Damn, I thought I was the only one around here with a 595 Master Sporter.

Tikka Varmint Comb fit a standard tikka t3?

It's cheaper to buy a used or takeoff CTR stock to rob the comb from than buy it from Midwest. If you get a T3X CTR stock it will have the vertical grip too. It's not tough to find a used stock for $50 but remember the CTR bottom metal inlet is different from the standard Lite stock. The comb...

Tikka Varmint Comb fit a standard tikka t3?

Yes it will. Varmint and CTR comb is the same and they both fit T3 and T3X sporter stocks, I'm always switching pieces on my herd of Tikka stocks.

One of the very few problems on a Tikka, the trigger is too close to the rear of the trigger guard and your trigger finger may wrap the guard. I suppose it's buried deep in there to protect against AD/ND.

Tikka Prefit Barrels......?

This: Hot Rat Barrel Vise Instructions It's actually for the FAL barrel but it fits the Tikka perfect. The 6 bolts torqued to 35lbs will untwist a Brazilian FAL barrel that's tightened to 100lbs +. I've removed several very tight early T3s barrels and not left a mark.

Not a new guy, had to make a new handle.

The '5' on my keyboard is not working but as soon as I get it fixed I'll post up the latitude and longitude of where I and some other Roksliders kill big elk and mulies every year. Glad to help an old noob.

Howa 1500 la magazines?

Weatherby uses Howa long actions for their Vanguard series which come chambered in 300 Weatherby and 375 H&H so there is a mag box longer than 30/06 and 300 WM. Where to get one I dunno.

Howa 1500 la magazines?

Howa is now chambering the 300 PRC so I wonder what the internal length of the magazines are on those? For some reason I thought the Howa LA was comparable to the Remington 700 in magazine length.

Who Lubes Necks

It was a thing back in the 1990s with Palma shooters. A Scotsman named Charles Young wrote a few articles for Precision Shooting about using a long tapered reamer to deburr the neck and then lube the case necks with moly grease. It was very popular for a few years but faded away.

Battle of the 30s

Tikkas decision to build the T3 shorter than a true magnum length action is regrettable, however it is very suitable base for a WSM or Sherman Short. If the handlers of TikkaSakoBeretta were to resurrect the M995 in some version it would be ideal for shooters limited to over the counter rifles...
