    tikka m695 bolt release replacement or spare??

    Well today is a very sad day for me. I broke my bolt release on my tikka m695 and well I cannot find one and it seems like they might be discontinued. If anyone knows someone who has one or where to get one please let me know. I just talked to a manufacturer who said all these models should have...

    Can someone explain Idaho trophy draws moose, goats, rams? And reg controlled game draws

    I was just wondering how the trophy hunts affect regular controlled game? I have never put in for a "trophy" hunt in idaho but seeing as I am getting older I figured I might as well give it a shot. Is it if you put in for trophy you can't put in for elk, deer, antelope? Or is it if you don't...

Probably wont go out past 600-800 yards. Been looking at Night force, leupold, Delta stryker 1-6, PA acss, Bushnell...

    Question for the tikka junkies

    Thank you for this input. Exactly the type of info i am looking for. I didn't realize carbon 6 were working with McGowen blanks that makes things very interesting :) I will dive down that rabbit hole now. I think I am just going to buy a tikka LA and try to build a 6.5-284. Dad always shot one...

    Thoughts on 6.5-284

    Yeah I really want one bad. They seem very accurate and Im over the creedmoor just too slow for my liking. I will probably run a 22" barrel maybe 24" because I will have a can on it sometimes. It would be awesome to get 2900 with a 22" barrel. I would mainly run 143's (140grain weight class) and...

    Thoughts on 6.5-284

    Anyone have any insight on putting a 6.5-284 barrel on a tikka t3x action? Sounds like i would need a long action bolt stop to make it work? The only thing is the CTR mags are limited at 2.950 is that going to be a problem?

    Just got this from berger hope it helps someone. Please see the attachment for load data. The loads are all based on the COAL listed. Load data is conservative and was generated with QuickLoad. A general rule of thumb with the Berger Elite Hunter and Hybrid Target bullets is to start your...

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    Thanks for that info I figured it was going to be slow. My gun is slow already but it's a fun little gun to shoot targets with. Im only getting 2630 (41.4gr) with h4350 and 143 eldx. Shot an antelope buck and muley buck this year with it and both animals didn't go more then 10-20 yards. A lot...

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    Yeah I have about 1lb of rl26 left and i might just have to load that up. I was running about 41.4gr of h4350 with the 143 eld-x and it was accurate. Running 46.9gr of rl26 with 143 eldx. I got about 100fps faster with the rl26 but the accuracy with the h4350 was just a little bit better. 1/4"...

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    Just wondering what your thoughts were on a charge work up using h4350? Sounds like berger says 40.5 is max for h4350 from reading through this thread. I was thinking starting at 38 grains and working up to 40.5 grains. Lapua lrp fed 210m h4350 156 eol Running out of a tikka 6.5cm ctr 20"

    RL26 and the 143gr ELD-X in 6.5

    Well worked up from 43.5 to 46.9. No pressure signs and got some really good groups at 46.3, 46.6. and 46.9. Jumped my FPS up almost 100fps from h4350. I might turn it up a little or leave it. seems like a good node. Groups were about 0.220-0.430 at 100. 46.9 started to get bug hole which was...

    Idaho unit 54 late mule deer

    Hey born and raised here in Idaho hunted my whole life since I was old enough. Never hunted this unit specifically. Hunted 57 and usually hunt central idaho every year because I like the country. Just thought I would look for some advice or information on the deer herds, burn, buck quality etc...
