Well, I'm glad I posted this thread then! Sounds like you may have saved me some money.
As for bottom metal and the bolt stop, maybe they're not necessary for a .308? I'll be hand loading for the gun, so I thought I may be able to load a longer round with AICS mags and a longer bolt stop, but...
I ordered a Tikka CTR Stainless .308 with a 20" barrel and I should be able to pick it up this week. This will be a crossover rifle used for both Western US (Idaho) hunting and casual target shooting. I've been researching aftermarket parts to optimize the rifle, but I would love to hear...
I'm looking for a Tikka CTR Stainless .308 with a 20" barrel. Does anyone know of a trustworthy website or gun shop that has one in stock? I could backorder through Europtic, but I'm looking for other options first.
I'm in the market for a new 12 gauge shotgun. The gun will be used for duck, goose, dove, pheasant and other upland bird hunting, and clay pigeon shooting as often as possible. I had a Remington 1187 for several years, but I have decided to try something else. After a whole lot of research, I...

Sounds like the heavier profile barrel isn't worth the extra weight. If the barrel of the Super Varmint was replaced with a Proof Carbon Fiber, would that change your opinion? Just to throw in another variable. I don't plan on changing the barrel anytime soon, but it could be an option down the...
A local gun shop has a 20" CTR .308 in stock and it's a great, handy feeling gun. However, I have not been able to get my hands on the new Super Varmint to compare. The main appeal I have for the Super Varmint is that it has a thicker profile barrel, has Cerakote, and is stainless underneath the...
I'm trying to nail down the torque specifications for Sportsmatch rings. On the back of the TO48C package, it says:
Ring screws - 15 in./lbs.
Dovetail clamp screws (4mm thread diameter) - 38 in./lbs.
Dovetail clamp screws (5mm thread diameter) - 55 in./lbs.
Rail clamp on Picatinny scope mounts...
