    Accuracy after Replacing Bottom Metal on Tikka T3x

    I’ve been toying with the idea of replacing the bottom metal on my factory stock T3X. I know there are advantages other than accuracy BUT I am curious if you experienced an improvement in accuracy that can be attributed to replacing the plastic with a “real“ metal version? When it was all said...

    Ross Muzzle Brakes???

    I have noticed that Ross brakes are praised quite often on several sites so I decided to do some searches and found that in the there had been quite a few older references to Ross Shuler Muzzle Brakes and the newer ones just refer to Ross Muzzle brakes. I found a website with the Ross Brakes...

    Ed’s Red

    Being new to this forum and new to rifle ownership, I did a search to find a discussion on this site concerning Ed’s Red and nothing showed up.

I read the article Give Your New Gun Some Love and a Bath Before Shooting It on Shooting Sports USA...
