    88 ELD-Ms

    Wounding is actually what I meant by "better"--I should have been more specific with my choice of words. Great to know that any of those 3 ELDs will work, will definitely post any necropsy pics when the time comes to add to the sample data.

    88 ELD-Ms

    Just to make sure I understand, the 80 ELD X performs better than the 80 ELD Match?

    88 ELD-Ms

    Didn't realize that was the case. I know the 77 TMKs are the most consistent, but putting them aside if one were looking for a higher bc, would the 80 ELD-M be the most consistent, over the 88?

    88 ELD-Ms

    @Formidilosus just made the mistake of walking into the Europtic showroom which resulted in walking out with a 1:8 Tikka 22-250. Am I understanding correctly that you would recommend having it rechambered to 22 Creedmoor now, rather than shooting 1500-2000 rounds through the 22-250 barrel and...

    Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle

    Will you be able to fully remove the bolt even on a long action with it in a Rokstock?

    22-250 / 22cm with TMK’s and ELDM’s

    I'm curious as well. Just picked up a Tikka 22-250 yesterday and 88s are my top choice.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I gotta tap out on this inventory round, I just bought a tikka 243 LH 1:8 twist to replace the 1:10 I sent to Kampfwld to Bush down to 223. Rokslide is going to lead to divorce at this rate.

    Tikka 223 magazine

    That's a great point @Lawnboi . So that said, does anyone have experience running the 223 MT mags in a Tikka T3 action, with factory bottom plastic, set in a Rokstock? That's the combination I'm looking to run.

    I also recently had this MT video pop up in my YT feed. Can this really fix all the MT issues that guys have??

    Sharpening Knives in the Field

    I highly recommend this article: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2021/10/19/knife-steels-rated-by-a-metallurgist-toughness-edge-retention-and-corrosion-resistance/ The creator of Magnacut compares steels for toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Lots of other great articles from him...

    Youth Stock Options for Short LOP

    Is he actually left eye dominant? If he's right eye dominant, it might be worth ripping the bandage off and having him learn to shoot righty...take it from someone who suffers southpawitis (hand and eye) and has a bear of a time finding firearms.

    Definitely want to hear how the gen 2 Mountain Tactical works for you! That would be the easy button for long oal hunting mag since as pointed out 10 round are much better suited for range work.

    Tikka 223 magazine

    They are legit. I called MDT directly, and they confirmed that mambamag.com is in fact their legit sister website. The bad news? They have been discontinued, not enough demand. So whatever inventory they have left on the website is it. I wound up picking up 2 after seeing @Formidilosus 's post...

    Tikka 223 magazine

    I see this is an older thread but looking for longer mags for the 223 barrel Kampfeld is spinning on my Tikka T3, FWIW it looks like Mambamags are available, MDT created a separate site/brand: https://mambamag.com/ Anyone have first had experience with 223 function in these out of Tikkas?

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    This is going to be my first RS1.2 so no experience with it on my Tikka yet, but interesting to hear that. I was going to try the UM Low Tikka rings but now you have me thinking I may need to go with Medium. That said, my Tikka's a T3, not a T3x, so it has the smaller ejection port. Not sure if...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    Just spoke with Maven, to upgrade to the package. They confirmed a few things. They encourage us to use Active Junky, they said that's why companies sign up for affiliate programs. They also said they got 200 scopes in this shipment and another shipment of 300 in early November.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    I think @sndmn11 you're thinking of programs like Govx or Expert Voice where there are requirements to join. For things like Honey and Active Junky, where you don't have to be I find it very hard to believe that companies would NOT want the word of mouth for more users. In fact there's an...
