    If you were going to rebarrel a 300 win mag Tikka, which cartridge?

    So I have 223, 6.5cm, and 300 win mag Tikka superlites. The 300 win mag is cool and is the "if I ever need it" rifle, but I don't really know if it adds any value to my hunting arsenal and is not fun to shoot at the range. Honestly the 223 and 6.5 do everything I'll ever need, but I have the gun...

    I kind of wish Solo 300 was milled and tapped for both sides so you can choose your own adventure.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I don't have experience with the other magnifications, but I only will be taking this rifle to ~100 yards and I'll mainly get close shots where too much magnification can burn you quick. I think if I was regularly shooting closer to 100 yards id want the 3x slx microprism. I don't think the 5x...

    DIY barrel cut & crown?

    If you look at my recent post history I took 6 inches off my 308 and it wasn't difficult, ended up looking good, and didn't change how the rifle shoots.

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    I don't have velocity number from before. I have the stuff to reload for it, but this will do for now.

    Well with factory 165 Federal Fusions it is no barn burner, but it shot ok and should have enough velocity to 300 yards.

    I tapped my gas port 4-40 and loctited a set screw in there. I assume it would have been fine but I put a sleeve over it too just in case.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    At this time they don't seem to extract the spent brass well enough to do it.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Thanks again. I won't be below 1800. 400 yards is where my shooting comfort level starts to diminish, and most of my shots are 100 yards and in.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Ok interesting. I picked up a couple of boxes of NBTs but I might have to get TMKs the next round. Thanks again!

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Form, I can't remember if I've asked this before, but is there enough terminal difference between the NBT and the TMK to notice?

    COAL 225 ELDM in 300 Win Mag?

    Hi. Kind of a dumb question but trying to see if a 225 ELDM can be loaded into a factory Tikka magazine in a 300 Win Mag. The length in the Hornady book seems shorter then I expected so I wanted to see where other people ended up.

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    Thanks. I really couldn't be much happier with the aesthetic considering it was all done and finished by hand and with a 30 year old bottle of gun blue I got when someone died. We'll see how it shoots and my dad might try to hunt with it this year. I'll update with groups when I get that done too.

    Well... No turning back now. Also swapped to an LPVO I wasn't using so I can say I have a scout gun or whatever lol.

    I haven't. Bedding is something I've never dipped my toes into.

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    Got everything around to do it including the barrel vise, metal saw blades, etc.... can't find my hacksaw 🙄 I'll update when I get it done and have some results. Might load some 175 TMKs first.

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    It's not really acceptable for me either. Luckily I have a few Tikkas that I rely on. It's not worth the effort for me to sell the Bergara and I had no luck trading for anything I needed. I was hoping making it a stumpy little tree stand gun that I could beat on or let my dad use would make it...

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    Thank you. I think I am more fishing for this type of answer. I was thinking of going 16.5" with a hacksaw, polishing it up, and making a little crown with a screw head or whatever and a drill and just rolling with it.

    @Formidilosus I'm sure you love getting tagged, and I'm sorry for that, but do you have an opinion on this? Wondering if cutting 6 inches off of the end of a year sensitive barrel is likely to make a difference for the better... Thanks.
