    Need Help- Tikka Prefit Install/Bolt stuck

    Unfortunately I used a spent case from another barrel, not really thinking about the chamber being so different it would stick.

    Need Help- Tikka Prefit Install/Bolt stuck

    Asking for advise from one's with expertise: I just installed a new McGowen Tikka Prefit (7-08) on a new tikka action. Used a viper barrel vise with a bughole tikka action wrench, barrel torqued to 75lbs. I put a spent case in the gun and tried to close the bolt for the 1st time. Bolt...

    Knight UL Scope Mount 2pc or 1?

    Just picked up a .50 Cal Knight UL... Before I purchase a scope and mount, was wondering if a 1 piece scope mount would interfere with loading the 209 primer? Any recommendations for a solid scope base (1 or 2 piece)? Looking for a set up that can handle atleast 110 Gr of BH209 recoil and stay...

    Lifetime Hunting License?

    Got the IN Comprehensive Hunting Lifetime License as present from wife in 1994. I think she regets that gift..haha I have property now, so not as important with landowner exemption, but guess its still paid for itself 10x over. Was such a good deal IN they quit selling them.

    Scouting Starts Now?

    I'm currently hanging new stands for the upcoming Oct. season. This is best time to see movement patterns and make adjustments along with major trimming without having significant impact on the hunting season. In last month, my son and I have put up new or moved 5 ladder stands, and have about 3...

    Optimal Scope Height

    I found a great deal on a CA MPR in 6.5 PRC and am trying to determine optimum scope height. I had some high Vortex rings and although the scope sits abt .5 inch above the top barrel ( visually it looks high to me), when I get on the gun with the comb moderaterly adjusted (#3 position), my view...

    Electric/hybrid side by side?

    I also have a 2015 Polaris ranger EV... It has many benefits but also it has limitiations. The EV works great for me because I live on the property I hunt and can charge it every night. After the 1st bank of lead acid batteries degraded ( almost 5 years) I upgraded to Lithium Ion battery system...

    243 bullet choice

    Something else to add... I have had a poor experience(s) with Remington Core .243. More than one deer was hit terminally here , but very small hole in and no hole out has led to major tracking challenges... No Blood ( barely a drop) and thick woods has caused more than one deer to end up as...

    243 bullet choice

    Barnes .243 TTSX 80 grain..... we have killed numerous deer with that round. Its fast, 3,350 muzzle velocity and hits hard for a small bullet. Most were pass throughs with good blood trail or DRT. I moved my wife up to a bigger caliber ( 7-08/ and now 6.5 Creed) in end both have similiar recoil...
