Bare rifle was right at 6lbs. Didn’t pay too much attention to the weight as I was choosing components. I have some ultra light hunting rifles and wanted something I could shoot well at distance and still pack around the mountains. Scope is a 2.5-20x50 NX8, not sure on its weight off hand but...
Well mine finished out at 8.44lbs. I was shooting for 7.5-8lbs. This is with the seekins pic rail on the fore end of the stock, the seekins muzzle brake and nightforce 6 screw rings and bubble top cap so definitely some places to lose a little weight. I’ll run it as is for now and see how she...

Not ripping on the 6.5PRC for elk but personally I’d prefer something bigger. I’ve killed plenty of bulls with my 270WSM slinging 140gr ABs and 1 cow and 2 bulls with a 6mm CM inside 400yds using a 105gr projectile. That being said I helped my buddy kill his first bull last year and he is a very...
I just picked up a 7PRC in Seekins Havak Element and my buddy got the same rifle in a 6.5PRC. They seem to be pretty nice lightweight rifles. He topped his with a VX6 and mines wearing a NX8, both in NF rings. We’re hitting the range this Saturday to see how they shoot. I’ll post some final...
Don't read to much into the title but figured for what it's worth I'd share my experience. By no means am I bashing Lupy but not sure how something like this gets through their QC... Purchased a "like new demo" 3.6-18 MK5HD from Europtic along with some Seekins low 35mm rings and a MK machine...
Purchased brand new for a MK5 but decided to go with a NX8 instead. I did take out of the box but neither have ever been mounted or used. Will sell package deal for 160.00 shipped. The rings were 149.00 and the level was 80.00. Thanks!
Just wanted to give a big Shout out to Schnees in Bozeman, MT. I've been using their Granite boots as a late season boot and a pair of their Pack boots for the past 5-6 years when the mercury drops for years now and absolutely love them. I'll admit I've tried Kenetreks but they don't work with...
Welcome to the party Mountain Tactical! I've been telling Jason about this site for years trying to get him to be a sponsor! You guy's make some great products and have always taken great care of me!
Amazon dropped off my new scale today so I got a weight. 7.7lbs without 3 rounds so bare rifle without scope, scope caps and mount (-26oz) puts it right at 6lbs 1oz. I’m sure I could have gone lighter with the wildcat composites stock, lighter scope, butler creek scope covers, modified the...
Love these semi custom Tikkas!
Build thread for anyone interested.

Need to get a new scale, the one I had crapped out. I’m guessing somewhere around 7lbs scoped. The bipod will not be part of the set up, it was just on for the photos. I’ll try to get a final weight asap
Since there are so many Tikka fans on here and always folks asking about Tikka builds I figured it was time to share my most recent Tikka project. I've been missing a heavy hitting .30 Caliber in my hunting rifle arsenal since I sold my 300RUM and 308 a few years back. My primary go to hunting...
Coming from a guy that has to modify everything I own, I don’t think there is huge aftermarket support for that rifle. I could be wrong but personally I’d leave it alone and start saving for a new build or buy a Tikka and upgrade as you see fit or as your budget allows. I’m not a Remington fan...
We pack a bit through the summer months to condition horses and clear trails or do an over nighter. During hunting season we generally just bring our riding horses then return the following day with pack animals or if we are under 8 miles from the parking lot we’ll put on saddle panniers and...
Mine showed up a early last week. First impression is really good, wish the paint wasn’t so patchy but overall a nice stock. Waiting for more parts before I bed and assemble
