    Tikka T3x 30-06 - what 6 or 6.5 ?

    Put a tikka takeoff barrel on it in the boring old 308 and stay in the 30 cal class.

    Rcbs chargemaster or other dispenser info

    For those that have a rcbs chargemaster or any other type of powder dispenser, what is the rpm of the tube? When it's running up before it throttles back, need the speed.

    308

    If you're leaving it alone, get a tikka. I have 2 Tikka 308's T3 Lite is my Low light setup with a SB Polar Or what I did was get a Tikka CTR and just swap it to the regular Tikka stock. Now its a 20" threaded barrel which is very handy to shoot.

    7mm-08 vs 7saum...Hear me out.

    My buddy is contemplating similar issues. His 20" 7saum with 4831sc pushes a 160 AB at 2860. He tried RL26 and anything above 2870 was less accurate. So 2860-2870 was his barrel node with a copuple other powders as well with 4831sc being the best accurate. My 308 (which is basically your...

    Refurbish all done…!

    Mine is a 1994 Abolt II Medallion that I considered freshening up. Just cant find the time to mess with it. It does have it's nicks and scuffs over 30 years, but still shoots about .75 moa or better if I do my part.

    Tikka 223 & 77TMK range results

    Nice because I bet at sammi lengths, that 77 is in the powder column pretty good

    Tikka 223 & 77TMK range results

    Nice, considering picking one up from the local shop. How much did you lengthen the throat from stock length? And at 2.550" how far off lands?

    Annealing Brass With Different Numbers of Firings

    Correct as above. I had reloaded my 308 brass several times before I got smart and started using a different method. I would use the same 20 over and over again until they got bad them would throw away. None of them did. My thought was that I would always have plenty in reserve if they did...

    Keiler Gear Tikka CTR 3-Round Mag

    It was a new Tikka roughtech takeoff so the barrel channel was pretty damn close to the CTR. Opened it up very slightly. You can use the CTR bottom metal but leaves a gap on the inletting. I ended up buying an original bottom from JA outdoors if I remember or either mountain tactical. I...

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    At $1160, its still going to be a great deal on it. Hell my Klassik 7 years ago was $1050.

    Keiler Gear Tikka CTR 3-Round Mag

    I changed mine out to a regular tikka stock with normal bottom metal and mag for that very reason.

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    I'll chime in being I have had both the Klassik and now the Polar. I don't mean to speak on Kenlee behalf, but I bet what he means by washed out is the illumination in low light situations. The glass on the Klassik is fantastic. I ran the #4 dot reticle on both the Klassik and Polar. Both...

    7 Rem Mag & 162 ELDM

    I run them in my 7 mag but with 71g H1000. I have some 4831sc, but the accuracy from H1000 kept me there. No need to change. Not much help, but they shoot well. I also seat mine further out that Sammi specs. I have a modified mag in my browning Abolt II that allows. Stock on right.

    How do you choose a custom rifle builder?

    Correct, I actually lived 2 houses down from a smith and didn't know it until we started talking about guns. And I've been knowing him for a long time. He's a state trooper but has been building guns for well over 20 years. Doesn't advertise and only builds for people he knows. Had a few...

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    Sell it and start over. I have several sporter barrels as well as some heavier contours. I have shot my plain Jane rwm 700 ADL 308 to where the barrel heat has a mirage and still shoots fine. My tikka t3 lite will do the same. Both will shoot sub moa after lots of shots. You have something else...

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    Yes. Great optic. I had a 2.5-10x56 klassik on my 308 for my hunting situation like yours. Sold it only to upgrade to the 4-16x56 Polar T96 for low light hunting. I would have no problem getting another Klassik.

    Actions as Reliable as Tikka

    Don't know if others have had similar results, but My 1994 Browning Abolt II hasn't missed a lick in 30 years. Mud, snow, rain, cycles like a champ. Only changed the trigger spring to lighten within that 30 year timeframe. The action is as smooth of smoother than all my Tikkas. They pop up...

    Trijicon tenmile 5-25 vs 4-24

    I have a tenmile 4-24x50 with red center dot coming in friday. Had a credo 4-16x50 and liked it other than the illumination. The whole reticle illuminated on the credo, only the center dot will illuminated on the 4-24x50 tenmile. Well see in a few days.

    Mtm case or other options

    Yeah from what I've been told, the case that are mentioned above by others are legit, one said it had to be labeled, 308, 7mag, etc and the box taped shut. But who the hell knows. As I get closer to trip, I'll get the print out.
