    Kimber Mountain Ascent if you already have a super lite Tikka?

    So I have a variety of Tikkas so no need to recommend them (love them), but in theory I feel like a 6.5 Creedmoor Mountain Ascent would make a remarkable do it all ultralight hunting rifle to add to the collection. Has anyone owned both of these and felt like they were different enough to keep both?

    Hypothetical - Which powders would you choose?

    I thought this might be fun for seasoned reloaders, plus helpful for people like myself who are new to the game and don't know what is a good start when buying powders. If you could only have 4 total powders to cover each category below, which would you choose? Overlap is encouraged if it...

    Building a semi-custom from a B14 hunter?

    I don't know much about the B14s so excuse my ignorance. I have a B14 hunter in 308, but it has become redundant due to a stainless tikka addition. My question is, are there limits to a DIY semi-custom with this action? I just wasn't sure about thinks like coned breaches (or not?) for profit...

    WTB ABolt 3 stock (short action)

    So I drilled some holes in my stock thinking I was making a precision rifle out of a hunting rifle and now I regret it and want a factory clean stock again. Let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks!

    Is there an ultimate brown bear, elk, and moose cartridge?

    I think I have a gap in cartridges that i'd enjoy filling for no good reason other than to buy something new. A .338 or larger cartridge that can carry energy out past 400 yards. Something id be totally confident in taking a brown bear, elk, or moose. I was mainly thinking 375 h&h but it seems...

    73 Grain ELDM (223) for deer?

    So I have a bunch of this factory ammo and would like to deer hunt with it but I can't find enough info on how the bullet works on deer to get 100% comfortable with it. Anyone have experience with that particular bullet?

    WTB Black hills 77gr 5.56 TMK

    The 223 thread got me. I have a Tikka coming and would like to get some of this ammo to hunt with this year if possible. Thanks for the help!

    What does your 22lr dope look like?

    I just put together a 22lr T1X with a 30 moa rail and I would like to use this as a cheap, but still fun, "long range" option up to 300 yards. I was just wondering what everyone dials with their 22lr so I kind of know what to expect in the real world. I don't have a chrono yet, but I am shooting...

    Shorten a barrel to help with hot barrel accuracy?

    I have a 308 B14 Hunter, which I love. A fairly light barrel. It's 22" and is supposed to be a woods hunting rifle and some times a shorter range plinker with 300 yards usually the max due to the scope on it being set up for MPBR and no reliable turrets. One issue is after 4 shots or so the...

    Options for a short barrel "brush" gun in bolt action?

    I have an urge to get a deer/black bear rifle with a short 16ish inch barrel, bolt action, and iron sights. Something cheaper preferably that I won't feel bad beating around in the woods or on a four-wheeler. I'm not stuck on any cartidge or gun model. I started looking at the Mossberg...

    How much can a bolt shroud impact accuracy?

    I have 308 Bergara B14 Hunter and it grouped like crap. I called Bergara to ask if they had any possible issues they know of. They asked about the age of my gun because they had a problem with cast bolt shroud threads basically stripping/backing out. Mine looks like it was backed a thread or two...

    I found my first scope in the basement last night...

    I'm not sure if this is even interesting, but sometimes you find something and it brings back all of the feelings you had when you first got interested/addicted to a hobby. I remember being ~8 years old and went to a yard sale with my grandparents. I saw this scope and asked if I could have it...
