    If you're going break that barrel lose and pay a gun smith his time. You might as well screw on a new barrel. Cutting a barrel down is always a compromise, magnum rifles tend to perform worse than a 308 with a shorter barrel.

    Lets Talk Toyota Tacoma Seat Covers

    Hands down Clazzio, use the Tacoma world discount code. I had fabric seats these are half leather half vinyl. They look like factory leather. I want to say with the discount it was around $500 or $600 for the front and rear seats.

    Harvester vs Ultra 7

    Back it off a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn and zip it on. Has yet to come loose. I do check it often for that reason. If your can wobbles that much when its loose they cut your barrel threads out of spec. I have one barrel thats slightly looser and its my cheapest one.

    Harvester vs Ultra 7

    I will never buy a break mounted suppressor. I bought direct thread my buddy bought the break style. Thunder Beast was out of stock it took him a year to find and extra one. Save you threaded break monies for more tax stamps :p

    Questions on a short barrel build for a suppressor

    I think the 5" would be good for a 308, or 6.5 Creed but not a magnum. Thats why I went with a 7" also.

    Anyone alter Tikka factory stock?

    I cut one down for my niece after we couldn't find a compact stock. I want to say the T3x compact is a lot shorter than 13" I just used my miter saw and re drilled the holes. I took about 1.25" off just re drilled the holes. You would need a different sandable limb pad for a better fit.

    Tikka prefit

    I have an X-Caliber and Carbon Six. X-Caliber makes a decent barrel for a good price. I want to say I found a good end of the year deal. Edit, 3 shot group 147 eldx Hornady factory and the X-Caliber barrel (broken in) 100 yards

    Tikka prefit

    I did the same thing with my Go Gauge and prefit barrel to check headspace. The scotch tape i used was about .002" thick. I estimated my headspace to me exactly right in the middle of the +- .010" sammi headspace spec. I think reloaders what it closer to .003" over minimum to save on brass...

    Cold Bore / Clean Bore shots

    I think its interesting those PRS guys hardly clean their bores. When they do clean they dont use solvent. A lot report that they find grouping equilibrium in between 50 to 350 rounds. Ive since worried less about my bore and have paper punched my best groups recently.

    Versatile Suppressor

    In my opinion there are 4 different suppressors. You might find some crossover. Handgun, smaller tube so your sights work. Rimfire, cleanable takedown style. Shotgun, they screw on the chock system. Rife, of center fire type.

    rebarrel or cut & thread factory?

    Yeah get a bad ass barrel vice, Tikka is horrible to break loose. I posted on here somewhere what I use and its almost not enough. I bolt everything to my heavy welding table and use a 5# sledge hammer to break the barrel loose. So a good vice and headspace gauges are a must. I have both pre...

    rebarrel or cut & thread factory?

    Usually the Tikka barrel doesn't have enough meat for a good 5/8-24 threading job. You have to get creative with face mount styles. I opted for a new barrel tons of options for Tikka. I would go shorter speed isnt everything. My 6.5 creed has a 16" barrel shooting at 2500fps with a can. Not an...

    Question for those with chamber sealer

    You need a perfectly clean and dry chamber to ever see 30". Around 28" water starts to evaporate and boil off in room temperature. This off gassing will never let you get a perfect vacuum. You might try a lower vacuum setpoint, less evaporation might help with wet meat and the air pockets...
