    Non-Tikka Hunting Rifle Recommendations

    So, a .224" diameter bullet works, a .264" diameter bullet works, but a .243" diameter bullet doesn't? Can you explain that? I also love it when people come on here and imply that those of us who tend to use smaller cartridges are just out there wounding animals all the time and are routinely...

    Accurizing M70. Need help.

    "Action screws may be where my issue is. Rear screw seats tightly to correct torque, front is stripped but set and holding." I would start there. If the front action screw is stripped, it may be holding well enough not to fall out, but I doubt it is holding the right torque. I would also...

    Suppressor purchase from Silencer Central

    Really? The 4473 has two sections. One for you to fill out and one for the FFL holder. When do you think they complete their section? Right away? Or do they wait for the NICS approval (or proof of exemption, which has been mentioned on this thread multiple times)? I am dying to know what...

    Preferred Barrels Carbon Thoughts?

    I have a few PBB barrels and all of them are shooters. If I was a carbon-wrap guy (I am not as I don't see the value), I would use PBB.

    Do suppressors reduce barrel life

    Yeah, I am in this camp. Carbon build-up doesn't reduce barrel life. It can be removed. In the video, if the bad effects were "exasperated" by increased lube, then the lube is the problem, but again, all I can see happening in that scenario is more carbon, which can be removed. I will hop...

    Tikka Magazines- 300WSM and 6.5PRC and limited COAL

    I am using the Long Action mags from Mountain Tactical for my 338 Sherman Mega. They work great. COAL for my loads are 3.160"-3.225". I have some HCA mags coming for use in a 6.5 Sherman Max that I am building.

    Non-Tikka Hunting Rifle Recommendations

    There are some qualifiers. Again, you are missing the rest of the statement, specifically "which isn't really necessary due to the fact that it comes with increased recoil". When distances are equal, a 140 grain 6.5 caliber bullet shot from a 6.5 Grendel will be moving slower than the same...

    Suppressor purchase from Silencer Central

    f. Form 4473 shall be submitted, in duplicate, to a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer by a transferee who is purchasing or otherwise acquiring a firearm by other than an over-the-counter transaction, who is not subject to the provisions of § 478.102(a), and who is a...

    Suppressor purchase from Silencer Central

    Additionally, here is the link to the regulation covering Firearm Transaction Record (i.e. 4473). https://regulations.atf.gov/478-124/2024-13699#478-124-f And because it seems that Dave isn't capable of clicking links, here is the full regulation, copied and pasted over the next two posts as...

    Suppressor purchase from Silencer Central

    Are you being obtuse or are you really that dense? The 4473 is for a transfer of a firearm from a licensee to a non-licensee. A FFL holder (licensee) cannot complete a 4473 until after you (the transferee) have been approved for the sale. When doing a firearms transfer that means either 1)...

    WTS 260 Rem Remage barreled action, Alpha brass, Stockys stock

    Here is a pic of a 10-round group fired with this gun. The shot to the far right was definitely me, but this shows the potential of the rifle. The orange is 1.5" in diameter. This was shooting one of the first loads that I threw together for the rifle using 139 grain Scenars.

    Recommendations for someone to flute a barrel.

    Not much I can add here. I have used all three places recommended (Kampfeld, Twisted, and Pro Precision) and have been happy with the work that each of them did.

    UM Custom Rifles - Reviews

    Add to that the fact that you have various bake times based on size and type of cerakote and things can get backed up pretty quick. Also, they are cerakoting a ton of different things, not just stocks and rifles.

    Non-Tikka Hunting Rifle Recommendations

    You better be careful. Keep going this way and pretty soon the Fudds will start accusing you of being part of the Rokslide cult. :) You are discovering what a lot of others are starting to discover and that is that within the distances that a majority of hunters shoot animals in there is no...

    UM/S2H/Suppressors/Scopes and More!

    I have Ti, Steel, and Aluminum suppressors. I find that that the Ti suppressors do tend to be a bit higher in pitch when the designs are similar. That being said, since I have lost a good bit of my high frequency hearing, the Ti suppressors sound more "dead" to me personally, so I gravitate...

    Non-Tikka Hunting Rifle Recommendations

    What do you have in your safe right now? If you have anything that you currently hunt with, I would recommend taking that $1500 and spending it on having the barrel chopped and threaded (with a collar if necessary) and purchasing a good hunting suppressor. It will serve you better than...
