    Tikka t1x failure to eject.

    Only thing that's worked for me is aggressive cleaning. Disappointing. -J

    Tangolio witness 9 mm polymer full size

    I competed with a Witness in IPSC for years. It's an Italian CZ75, no more no less. Good stuff. -J

    Picking the RIGHT hunting caliber/cartridge for the job. By the numbers

    I think… I feel… Quoting from the Wiki I wrote to introduce my city friends to Western hunting: Cartridge selection is deceptively simple. First, choose a specific projectile in whose terminal performance you’re confident. Gain that confidence by perusing hunters’ forums with many pictures of...

    Tripod head leveler, shooting off of panhead/fluid head

    Hate the bag over the head, love the bag over the tac table you sold me for hunting. Now only clipping in for competition on an anvil 30. -J

    NX8 4x32x50 vs ATACR 4-16-42

    I love my baby ATACR (mil-XT on an m110 SASS clone) and don't feel you will want more mag in field conditions. Tracking the shot is more valuable than uber zoom IMHO. The Mil-R is generally accepted as the most hunting-friendly of the NF reticles, which isn't saying much. -J

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    I'm sorry, I just don't buy that argument. We don't rise to the occasion, we fall to the level of our training. If we're lucky. There's got to be a standard, and an 8" milk jug at 400 yards is a pretty good one. Missing these jugs under ideal circumstances shouldn't be received with gladness...

    Tikka Bolts

    That's a good point. At least the Pierce Shadow doesn't compromise on something (if not multiple items). Would be a shame if the Pierce Shadow lacked a rail, or used a notoriously unreliable trigger mechanism. -J

    How much Wyoming wind should someone plan on?

    Got pinned down at the Kimball airport for 2 days, 40 knot crosswinds didn't let up for a minute. -J

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    I agree that properly designed thumb safeties do not slow the draw or in any way hurt. I also agree that the only thing keeping a striker fired pistol from firing when being re-holstered if debris enters the trigger guard is a manual safety. However, re-holstering a hammer fired pistol with...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    The margins are smaller, by which I mean that a large number of handguns are quite good whereas a small number of bolt action rifles are even remotely good. When 9mm service style hammer or striker fired pistols don't consistently work with good ammo, it's an outlier. If you define good trigger...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Used to compete with the phenomenal CZ 75, and improbably their striker fired pistols are a good candidate for the Tikka of handguns. The P10C/F fits most hands, has a good ratio between low bore axis and enough slide meat to grasp, fits a lot of holsters, has good and cheap magazines, has good...

    Tikka Woes

    Tikkas are generally unfussily precise, but that's not really their main selling point here. I'm not sure those selling points really come across at the range, so I'm not surprised you're underwhelmed: 1) Great trigger. Crisp, light enough, can be made lighter, truly drop safe, more reliable...

    Unknown tikka action mod issues…

    Replacement Glock barrels

    Sorry that was a bit unnecessarily confusing. Sold the gun which had it. No reflection on the barrel. If you'll want their comp, make sure you match thread pitches, they have some funky ones. -J

    SUGGESTIONS for Carry piece for Wife w/ "Pre-arthritic" hands.

    Off-body carry solves the size issue for hiking. It's really not that big anyway, and big helps with shoot-ability. Sorry if I missed this - does your wife have the hand and wrist strength (and/or willingness to practice consistently to put multiple rounds on target in a lightweight 9mm? A...
