    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    with hunting at moderate distances not only would i not buy a 300 prc...i wouldnt touch the 300 wsm. if a 30 cal bullet is what you want a 308 or 30-06 is just fine for elk on down...better ammo availability and way less recoil=increased accuracy. people buy more gun than what their skill can...

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    its a great round...i think the 300 prc will take over popularity from the 300 wsm in the coming years, federal and remington also always produced a lot of 270 wsm as well but have been producing other more popular rounds as opposed to the wsm lately and will continue to be less and less...

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    get a 300 prc before a 300 wsm....wsm's in general are a dying breed. i had a 270 wsm and loved it until you see every other kind of ammo on the shelves but little to no wsm...very few people besides winchester make ammo for the wsm anymore.

    Do you bring a backup rifle?

    I always have 2 rifles for hunting whitetail in TWO DIFFERENT capable calibers. This past year ran into issues finding available ammo for one of the guns....i had ammo (8 roundsi think) but not enough were i was comfortable if i lost some rounds or had to shoot multiple shots at a deer because...

    Fierce firearms carbon fury/rival

    After more research on my next gun to buy I am intrigued with the fury and rival as I really want a carbon fiber barrel and a better stock than what tikka offers. I love my current tikka and it’s smooth action and am wondering what action these two guns are made with? Fierce website doesn’t say...

    Caliber switch on Tikka T3

    My kid has a 6.5 cm and I love shooting it. I like the idea of switching to that caliber as well since I was able to find 100 pieces of brass, 100 eldx bullets and some superformance powder and my buddy is going to reload 100 rounds for it for me so shooting the same caliber as him would be...

    Caliber switch on Tikka T3

    I love the thought of going to the 6.5 PRC but ammo shortage aside, no one around here ever has PRC ammo to sell or reloading but we will see the occasional boxes of about everything else. I don’t suppose a 6.5 creedmoor would work with the 270 wsm magnum bolt face? On Tikkas website it didn’t...

    Caliber switch on Tikka T3

    Background: I currently have a Tikka T3 lite stainless in 270 wsm. I only hunt whitetail in northern Minnesota. I can shoot a maximum 350 yards from my deer stand. I am tired of the heavy recoil as I have become older and the limited ammo options of owning a 270 wsm. I love my Tikka but I...

    tikka t3 superlight 6.5 creed

    The only thing my tikka hates is the federal blue box cheap soft points. Everything else is sub moa all the time every time.

    Christensen Actions Suck - Or Just Mine Does?

    I have no doubt the Christiansen Arms Mesa and ridgeline are taco drivers delivering consistent sub moa groups but man….no way a $2000 rifles action should feel like a $399 scope and riifle combo off the rack at Walmart when cycling ammo. I am that action locked up has no bearing on accuracy but...

    Longest Kill 6.5 Creedmoor

    Exactly….so there is no way you have 1500 foot pounds at 1120 yards

    Longest Kill 6.5 Creedmoor

    A commonly accepted threshold for the minimum amount of kinetic energy needed to kill an elk is 1500 ft-lbs. Most bullets won't expand under 1800 fps........you could call it rocket science haha....so this 1120 yard kill claim dropped in its tracks claim is BS

    Ridgeline vs ridgeline titanium

    well they (christian arms) either copied or use a competitors inferior rough action (the remington 700) when there were better options out there to use (tikka t3x)

    tikka t3 superlight 6.5 creed

    i was advised different but i dont know from experience as i have not owned those ulta thin barrels nor do i want to. i was told the main problem is the fact that they heat up much faster and hotter than a normal barrel. if they cool 10% quicker and heat up 25% hotter you are still going...

    tikka t3 superlight 6.5 creed

    tikkas are great but if you get into the fluted barrels they take a little longer to cool it seems if you are going to be shooting a bit...but in hunting applications they would be great. even my t3 lite stainless is red hot after 3 shots with a 270wsm when at the bench....will be worse with a...

    Christensen Actions Suck - Or Just Mine Does?

    i own a tikka t3 bought back in 2003 and that action is buttery smooth. i wish the CA ridgeline would adopt the tikka action....just flute the bolt to make it a little different. that would really improve their rifle over the garbage remington 700 action...feels like there is sand in the action...
