    KRG Bravo vs. Stocky’s VG for Hunting + PRS

    I’ve never owned a Stockys VG but I have owned Bravos. I don’t shoot competitively. I do hunt and shoot weekly. I’ve found I prefer a hunting stock vs the Bravo. The Bravo is excellent, but it’s not the ergonomics I look for in a hunting rifle. I prefer a narrower fore end and lighter weight for...

    Talk me out of buying a new rifle?

    6.5 Creedmoor is a great cartridge and that Tikka will be light. To mix things up, try shooting it without the can. It will be lighter and recoil will be mild. It will make it even more “different” than your 6.5 PRC.

    Buy a new Tikka or rebarrel existing HOWA?

    Buy a Tikka 6.5 PRC T3X stainless from Euro Optic for $679 and spend $100 to get it threaded. Less than a new barrel and high confidence it will be a shooter.

    BARTLEIN BARRELS CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE

    Ive got a Bartlein being installed on a 6.5 Creedmoor. Did you find your barrel requited any sort of a break in?

    BURRIS customer services

    Weird experience yesterday. When I shipped in my scope for warranty repair, my bikini scope cover and bubble level were in the box. I got a notification I had a UPS package out for delivery. I was excited my replacement scope was set to arrive only to find they sent my scope cover and bubble...

    Am asking too much of my 6.5 PRC?

    Maybe. I’m waiting for a free haz mat special to buy any powder online. Local doesn’t carry any VV powder. They have plenty of Ramshot Grand I may try.

    Am asking too much of my 6.5 PRC?

    My Tikka T3x Stainless 6.5 PRC also has a somewhat short throat and velocities hit 2800 with Hornady max load of H4831SC and 143 ELDX. I did have barrel cut back to 22". With that said, its spooky accurate so I'm very happy with it.

    Howa Mini Rifles, Builds, and Upgrades

    Yes with considerably less barrel life with the 6 CM. That may not matter depending how much you shoot.

    BURRIS customer services

    Burris is sending me a brand new Veracity PH under their forever warranty. It was a pretty simple process.

    Howa Mini Rifles, Builds, and Upgrades

    2800 fps with 30.7 grains Hornady brass. Pretty impressive but I ran out of the powder. When I get more I will do more testing.

    Tikka 6mm Dasher

    I would do 6 GT. In between a 6 ARC and 6 CM in regards to barrel life and performance. Standard bolt face, optimized for Varget and will feed reliably in a Tikka T3x M mag.

    6cm vs 6arc

    2K rounds on my Howa 6 ARC and virtually no wear in the throat when bore scoped.

    Flight time vs recoil for Spotting impacts

    FYI My Tikka 6.5 PRC is shooting dimes with H4831SC/143 ELDX at only 2800 FPS. I could switch powders to get an extra 100-150 FPS, but I can spot my impacts at longer distances at 2800 FPS. I probably won’t do much further load development.

    Flight time vs recoil for Spotting impacts

    22-250 is getting to target much faster than 6.5 CM. Even with less recoil, the bullet is already at the area of the target with the 22-250 by the time you’re recovered to see what happened. My 6 ARC Howa Mini 22” barrel is awesome for spotting impacts. I’ve got a Varget load and 108 ELDM...

    DD Enticer S TI vs Resilient Jolene S

    Dumb question but the Jolene is not recommended to go above 750 degrees in temps. Has anyone actually measured temp of their can after say a 5-10 shot string? How easy is it to get to 750 degrees? I rarely shoot more than 5 shots before letting things cool a bit.

    Tikkas with factory threaded barrels?

    Howa barreled action from Brownells $450 Bell and Carlson stock $360 Threaded and ready to go for a suppressor.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    I used to leave my can installed on my rifle but it comes off everytime rifle isn’t in use. Less chance of chunks of carbon to end up down the bore or in the chamber.

    RESILIENT JOLENE S

    This can is priced right. I’m interested cause I want to add a 2nd can to my stable.

    RESILIENT JOLENE S

    I went from adapter to direct thread 1/2 HUB adapter. It changes POI a little but no change in precision.
