    6.8 western build from a tikka?

    Tikka would make a good action for a 6.8 western but need to make sure it's a magnum for the right size bolt face and short/long wouldn't really matter as they are all the same with tikka with the change of the bolt stop. Personally I would just build a 270wsm on a long action with the same...

    You would have caught a lot less heck if you would have mentioned the commissioners tag to begin with. Unfortunately it's pretty common for folks to become a member of a forum, ask specifics about certain units, then are never heard from again to help the next guy. I've never hunted either of...

    That was my viewpoint as well. Just seems very strange Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Aren't both of those units very tough to draw?? Seems like you either have a tag for one of them or you don't. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    7 SAUM Hammer Bullet recommendation

    I'm actually building a 7saum around the 172gr absolute hammer but I'll be considering the 155 as well. If you don't want to try the absolute I'd probably go with the 155 just to keep speed up. Steve recommends a minimum velocity of 1800fps however guys will argue it'll do fine at much less...

    168 vs 175 gr ABLR’s in 7mm

    Unfortunately I can't say a whole lot better about the bergers or eld-x. I'm to the point I can't hardly trust any of these high bc cup and core bullets anymore, at least for elk. The terminal ascent bullet worked fantastic for us last year out of a 300wsm. Sure wish they had a heavier 7mm...

    168 vs 175 gr ABLR’s in 7mm

    Tagging along as I'm just starting a 7saum build myself. Long term I intend to use hammers but will probably do my break in and plinking with one of the bullets you listed. Seems odd they offer both of them so close together in weight. I'll be on long action so no length restrictions and...

    Manufactures ammo info. vs. real ife?

    Some is definitely better than others. Lots of variables tho, and once you start looking at much distance you really need to shoot it at those distances to know exactly where you are at. Most of their numbers come from long barrels and controlled environment. For example if they use a 26" barrel...

    spotting shots suppressed

    From what I gather so far is that the saum is still one of the better options for what I feel is a elk worthy cartridge. Don't care so much about spotting shots at 50yd but as I stretch it out I think it will make me a better shooter if I can.

    I think it will end up in that 8-8.5lb range with the scope if my math is correct and depending on which stock i decide to go with

    spotting shots suppressed

    So I have a tbac ultra 7 in jail, should be getting it fairly soon hopefully. I am getting ready to do a new build for a lightweight hunting and longer range plinking gun. Will be a tikka with 20" carbon six barrel and some type of lighter weight stock. Trying to make my final decision of...

    what's the status of Barnes bullets in factory ammo?

    Keep in mind that is 50 round prices. Unfortunately they are dealing with the same reloading supply issues as everyone else, so they don't have the options like normal. Like Hornady brass vs adg, which adds substantial cost on some cartridges. For what some places seem to think factory ammo is...

    what's the status of Barnes bullets in factory ammo?

    I'd look at unknown munitions, pendleton ammunition, etc. For one it's likely better ammo being handloaded, better brass, just more options overall and I just like supporting the smaller guy like that. I just ordered some from unknown munitions, wasn't listed as available on website, didn't even...

    Quality 7mm-08 for $1500?

    Tons of good options for sure. First couple that come to thought would be Christensen Mesa, winchester model 70ew, and of course tikka is never a bad choice. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Any carbon barrel rifles that wont break the bank?

    I haven't got to put my hands on one yet but I agree it should be a great gun. I would consider one if they offered it in other calibers Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Any carbon barrel rifles that wont break the bank?

    First of all a carbon barrel is far from necessary to kill critters. My suggestion would be to go buy a tikka for $6-700 and use the extra cash to help fund all the other necessary stuff you'll need. It will most likely shoot just as well and not be any heavier. You can always rebarrel with...
