    What would you do with this rifle?

    I voted other. If there is no sentimental value, I would just sell it and move on. If you want to keep it, I would glass bed the action, free float the barrel, and double-check every screw to make sure they’re torqued to spec. Work on load development after that.

    6mm Creedmoor hunting rifle (factory only)

    I’ve never heard of anyone buying a tikka 223 and regretting it later. As said above, that rifle with TMKs will do everything you want inside of 400 yards. When tikka finally finally does bring a 6 creed to market, a 223 and 6mm creed would make a very solid combo

    Real talk. Family talk. Life decision talk.

    But to the OP, move out here dude! It’s not going to get any easier to move as kids get older and you get more tied down where you’re at. If your wife is supportive but not necessarily enthusiastic about it, I would maybe look somewhere else other than Wyoming, just because of the winter. Or try...

    Real talk. Family talk. Life decision talk.

    Our local hardware store has this laminated to the counter. This isn’t necessarily directed at the OP, but anyone moving to a new place should take it into consideration. It’s why many small town Westerners aren’t as friendly as they used to be.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    I don’t have nearly the experience of some guys on here, but I’d go with the 88s for the better wind number. Last year I shot 5 deer, 1 javelina, and probably around a dozen hogs with 88s out of a 22 ARC. I was very happy with how they performed.

    New 109 ELDM vs 108 ELDM

    Got 500 109s in the mail a couple days ago, had a chance to try them out tonight. 20 shots out of my Tikka 243. 1.8” overall. the shots outside of the bullseye were the last three, I probably should have waited and let my suppressor cool off as the mirage was getting pretty bad. The other 17...

    3D printed CTR mags

    Update for anyone interested, I ordered a 223 mag and a ctr. The finish isn’t the greatest, but that’s probably to be expected for 3d printing. They seem to feed all right, guess I’ll see how they hold up as far as durability. Quite a bit cheaper alternative to a waters 223 mag if they work.

    222 Rem load for deer?

    I’ve shot several hog with a hornady 55 soft point out of a 223. They work great

    Is there anyone who prefers MOA vs MIls for hunting purposes?

    Yes for my 223, no for my 243 as its too far off from quick drop for my pea brain to remember. A simple dope card does the trick, and I can do wind calls for either in my head.

    Is there anyone who prefers MOA vs MIls for hunting purposes?

    The only thing that concerns me is how you and your hunting buddies calibrated pecker lengths and decided on a uniform system….

    Is a 20 inch 6.5 PRC enough for elk?

    I’d pick a creedmoor over a prc for that, either one will kill an elk at those ranges. But you should read the 223 and 6mm threads before you buy anything. 🙂

Now we are actually planning on moving back to Idaho and I decided to get back to this build. Bought...
