I built a 7PRC tikka with a 22" Proof barrel before Tikka launched their new rifles in the chambering. It is, ballistically, an excellent round. The Hornady factory loads are all way slower than box velocity, and accuracy tends to be just ok unless you really have your fundamentals dialed. I...
I happily use ELD-M’s. Back to back with two of my rifles, a buddy and I shot two elk, both double lung shots, with 180gr from a 7prc (80yds) and 147gr from a 6.5 creedmoor (130yds). They both turned the lungs to jello with similar performance, but substantially more volumetric damage from the...
I shot an elk at 75 yards with my 7PRC using a 180gr ELD-M. It went in through a rib, grenaded inside both lungs, and didn't touch a single other thing. The heart and all other meat were 100% recovery. We have never lost meat (except a rib or two) from shooting ELD-M's.
I’m selling the rifle, and this scope is on it. I’d like to have a buyer for the rifle first.
Mk5HD with CCH reticle. Glass is perfect, no scratches. The scope has obvious marks from scope mounting and it may have some scuffs, I think it's got a nick under one of the scope caps.
Comes with...
I put this gun together right before we moved, thinking I was going to get into reloading, and haven’t touched it in a year.
6mm Creedmoor, 20 rounds on barrel.
Action: ARC Coup de Grace, fluted bolt
Trigger: TriggerTech Diamond curved
Barrel: Savage 5R 26” bull barrel, modified with coned...
I have a hankering to get another tikka in .223 and I don’t need three, so one of these needs to go. I may sell both but most likely just looking at selling one.
Rifle 1) T3x CTR 20” 6.5 creedmoor
- ~850 rounds fired
- YoDave trigger spring
- pic rail & sling QD’s have been added to the stock

Remove your firing pin and check headspace. The lower-left primer on the shell in your first pic worries me. Looks like you may have a ton of headspace, or lots of firing pin clearance inside the bolt.
I have a set in excellent condition. I keep them at my back door for spotting coyotes and getting the ballistic solution.
I'm not positive I want to sell it. I have a set of GPO 15x binos coming in tomorrow, I'll need to see if I want to run both sets of binos during my hunts or just run the...
There are way more wolves in OR than ODFW is willing to admit. They have been blatantly lying and covering up wolf issues for years, and I normally would give a lot more nuance than make a statement like that, but there is a lot of evidence that ODFW has been intentionally concealing wolf...
Oregon is probably about the best fun/availability/low-crowd ratio I know of for hunting. It isn’t a destination state and the differing flavors of hunting depending on which region you go to are a lot of fun. I personally didn’t like the claustrophobic atmosphere of the coast, where you could...
I love my stainless takedown 10/22. It has the magpul stock where the barrel fits into the stock section and it carries three extra mags in the cheek rest. I leave my suppressor on it full time.
I do think that a bolt gun would be quieter, but I like being able to bring that compact .22 rifle...
