    Shot groupings

    A 2” group at 200 yards is a 1 MOA group, which is good. Is your rifle zeroed at 200 yards? What caliber/load? Post up photo of a target you’ve shot and we can help more. Elk vitals are a volleyball sitting between the front legs. You need to pop that ball. Aiming at the top of the heart in...

    Africa Hunts

    My thoughts: Africahunting.com is a great resource. The “Deals and Offers” section has tons of outfitters listings, and some specials (cancellations, cull hunts, etc. than can save some serious $). Also tons of planning info on that site. The logistics can be the most challenging thing. An...

    All in one Best 7PRC ammo for Coues, Mule Deer, and Elk

    Check the Hornady Precision Hunter lot numbers if you shoot that and stick with the same lot if you can. I’ve been enjoying my 7PRC, but Hornady has been having problems sourcing components for loading for it. They’ve used different primers and different powders with different lot numbers that...

    The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

    I bought a RA Go Wild in 7PRC a few months ago and it has been consistently Sub -MOA. I qualified for the Rokslide cold-bore challenge with it this year. I polished down the bolt to mirror and I hand lapped the action, definitely 95% Tikka smooth. Turned down the factory trigger and while not...

    Scope bases - epoxy

    Bump to say thanks for the folks in here who relayed experiences permanently epoxy’ing bases to their action. I shoot a huge scope and it has loosened up bases 3 times on two different magnum rifles. The second base was a factory mounted Pic Rail : ( I wanted a permanent solution to keep this...

    MKC Alternative

    I used the Buck 630 Paklite Pro in S35VN to break down a bull elk last year and it was great. $120; About 2 ounces. I looked at MKC, but I don’t like the paracord. The little bit of Micarta on the handle of the Buck is easy to keep clean. I wish Buck would make this model in Magnacut; may be...

    Tikka Barrel Removal and Install Tool Swap Thread

    gtriple Jimbee I decided to buy some tools and try to swap the barrel on my T3. It took some work, but I got the old barrel off. One question - the barrel off of another T3 is clocked about 90° off where my other barrel was. See how the text on the barrel is in the wrong orientation. Do you...

    gtriple Jimbee I’d like to swap my 270 barrel on my tikka to a 6.5 CM barrel. If you guys are still looking to loan out a barrel vice and tikka action wrench, I would love to take you up on it. This is an awesome thread, makes this site pretty special.
