    New Tikka Owner. Advice on making it lighter.

    I spent a lot of time and money trying to shave ounces and grams off a T3x Superlite in 7mm Rem Mag... All I really gained was a little more recoil. I fluted bolt, changed bolt shroud, lightweight rings, etc etc etc... I probably only lost about 3oz total. Granted, a stock swap will probably...

    Would you do it?

    Honestly don't see much issue legally or morally... If you think you can confidently harvest the buck after a good shoot... Go for it. Good luck and post pics!

    Eye candy for the 2023 elk season

    A very nice elk indeed, but as a self-described noob... What exactly is a Governor's tag/Comissioner's tag? I've heard the term before and always just assumed it was quite literally tags reserved for high-ranking officials, wealthy individuals paying-to-play on high-end private units, etc...?

    OnX and fires

    I actually just noticed the fire notification this evening as well. Pretty cool addition. I often open onX for various uses outside of hunting, before opening google maps or similar.

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    The scope tracks just fine actually, and today I ended up checking all torques and screws matched manufacturer specs from Hawkins Precision; 25in lbs on scope rings, 65in lbs on cross bolts. That's crazy! I definitely haven't condemned the gun, I'll condemn myself before that, haha. I really...

    Patagonia now selling venison

    I think I'd rather try horse jerky than python salad... but to be honest, I'd give either one a shot.

    Suppressor Covers. Whos the best.

    Late post, but I have had a Rifles Only cover for about 2 years and it works great for me so far.

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    I am indeed, probably a good 10min or so between groups, maybe more. I hadn't considered this, but I did bed the rail properly with JB. The rail was installed after cerakote but I would imagine the bedding would solve any mis-match issues? I actually have a 6.5 CM and I do respect the round...

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    I really appreciate all the input here. I'll start with a limb-saver and double check the free float, while being really careful about fundamentals and flinching. To answer some questions; I don't "need" the 7mm RM any more than a 7mm-08 or something like a .280AI. This is a deer and elk gun...

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    Well sure, the recoil difference is night and day... I'm not getting any younger and after about 12rds with the 7lb 7mm I'm done for the day. Almost wish I had gone with the PRC instead, but the guys I usually hunt with sold me on the Rem Mag. One, two, or (hopefully not) 3 rounds in the field...

    Idaho Sawtooth Zone, who got one?

    Wednesday the 12th was my first attempt at getting an Idaho Sawtooth B tag, and was lucky enough to get one before sellout. Should be hunting just West of Stanley, but have spent little time in 36... Any other B tag first timers? Good luck!

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    I have had my hunting buddy shoot it. Not that I'm some superstar, but I can usually outshoot him by quite a bit. He had the same results on group size. It is chambered in 7mm Rem Mag, I still have some ELD-X left but I did order some 155gr Terminal Ascent just for giggles to see if 7 less...

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    As much as I hate to admit, I also have to consider if I am becoming more recoil shy than I'd like... This AM I shot 3 strings of 3 rounds. The first was one of those random sub-moa groups at 0.53". The next 2 groups were 2.37" and 2.01" respectively. I tried to pay attention and make sure I...

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    I wish I had shot it before. I wanted to cerakote before mounting my scope, so I didn't end up shooting before-hand. I haven't had any FTF or malfunctions, and from my sorta-kinda experienced opinion didn't see any issues in the bore or barrel with overspray or sandblasting imperfections.

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    Not 10 shot groups, I usually shoot 3 round or 5 rounds groups.

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    Like many of us here, I have a Tikka T3x Superlite. Unlike many of us, I've been surprised at how poorly it shoots so far, particularly with 162 ELD-X factory ammo. (Disclaimer, I am a Tikka fan and will remain as such. I have a T3 Varmint .223 that shoots around 0.35" groups consistently with...
