    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Just an fyi, on the scout, the 243 has a 1/10 twist, the 6.5 cm has a 1/8 twist though. It also appears they dont make the 6.5cm in SS anymore? Least they are not showing on the website.

    Question about modern manufacturing of firearms vs old

    I dont own a Tikka, or a pre64 M70, so Im not sure where the kool-aid comment is coming from or what you are referring to? I apologize if my reading comprehension is way off, because I dont get the reference? I was only comparing two different mass produced bolt guns 60 years apart?

    Question about modern manufacturing of firearms vs old

    This is what I have been thinking is the issues all along, all to reduce cost. It is no different where I have been working the last 30 years, we still make the same product, just trying to do it cheaper, but we always find out, doing it the "old" way would have saved us in the long run. It...

    Question about modern manufacturing of firearms vs old

    After reading @Formidilosus thread on the new MRC they are working on, and the apparent depth to trying to make it "right" the first time. It got me to thinking about my Grandads 1952 Belgium Browning sweet 16, that shotgun has never failed me, built to last several life times, but when I...

    22 ARC or 6ARC

    It is now legal in TN to use a .223, and it had been illegal for years.....and as far as a fine? I dont know about out there, but you legitimately break a game law here, harvesting big game in an illegal manner, they can pretty much take anything you have at the moment. Years back they caught a...

    Shotgun optics with slugs

    I see now, that Athlon has a slugger scope with 5" of eye relief as well Athlon 3x12x40 with a lit reticle and 5" of relief. I just put a Redfield Rebel from Academy on my slugger, but I got the 3x9x50, had the gift cards so thought why not lol. . It says it has 3.5" of relief but it sure seems...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    I don't have a dog in this hunt yet, but, I'm seriously thinking of building a 22 ARC in an AR, since I already have a 6.5 Grendel, it is just a barrel swap. But this video, and its a little contrarian in that he is shooting wood, concrete, and metal. BUT, the interesting part for me, the 75...

    Suppressed tikka t3x 223 barrel length ?

    Do you think it was from wear on the crown that caused the accuracy to slip, then come back when it was cut? I have always wondered what was the most sensitive part of the barrel for wear. The chamber area, throat, rifling in the bore or the crown? I just have always thought the majority of...

    Factory Rifle that likes 77gr TMK?

    I think this is highly likely. I’ve been searching the gun library for 2 years now and this particular one in Colorado, I have never seen a posting with 100% on the bore. BP has a money back guarantee, when it comes to whatever BP you pick it up at, they give you ample time for inspection, if...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    If not a squib load, then my theory is just as plausible with the photos uploaded. First shot was a Texas heart shot that momentarily paralyzed the deer. Hence the hole in the butt, and bloodshot meat around both sides of the spine, 2nd shot actually went in one side and out the other at 30...

    Factory Rifle that likes 77gr TMK?

    You do know, you can buy a used/new Tikka through Cabelas/Bass Pro? Ive bought my last 2-3 guns this way. You can use your gift cards, bass pro cards, etc even your points if you have a credit card through bass pro. IF you dont know, just go to their website, click on shooting, then on the...

    Last minute Colorado vacation planning

    We stayed in Steamboat Springs for a week, and took day trips from there back in June. Estes Park and the drive there and back was beautiful. Take a tour of the Stanley hotel there. For sure keep an eye on the RMNP app, we didnt know about it, showed up around 10 and didnt know we needed a...
