    Tikka 7mm PRC?

    @Sako Any updates by chance? We'd all love to see 7PRC offerings! :)

    Tikka 7mm PRC?

    The bergara offerings are very nice. The Carbon Crest and the MgLite are both offered in 7prc. While both are a bit more pricey than the standard Tikka, they're some of the nicest factory offerings in 7prc currently. If you're a chassis guy, the mglite is a no brainer, but if you're a...

    Look what I cut today!

    Oh my gosh yes...wildly so. Especially a Japanese A5 (high grade) Waygu. Normal beef fat is significantly harder. Waygu fat melts in your hand if you hold it. The marbling is typically insanely good and there's a richness and beefiness to it that is hard to explain. After grilling it, you...

    New Tikka Rifles Shot Show 2024

    I saw 6 pages of "New Tikka" and thought YES!!! FINALLY TIME! All to read this crock of crap for the last 20min...lol At least it was amusing.

    New Tikka Rifles Shot Show 2024

    Yep, supposed to be an open sight up close and personal variant

    Tikka 7mm PRC?

    Well, because what I "want" is Tikka to offer a factory barrel/chambering in 7prc. I definitely don't mind going with a Proof Prefit, but the moment I do, I've either got to inlet the crap out of the roughtech stock or replace the stock entirely. Ideally, I'd not like to have to do all that...

    Tikka 7mm PRC?

    SHOT Show is from Tue, Jan 23, 2024 – Fri, Jan 26, 2024!!! So if we don't have new product offerings by the 27th, they're probably not coming. Either Tikka will make one, or that new Bergara Carbon Crest in 7prc might be the ticket.

    WTB Tikka Factory D18/ember/SS fluted 6.5C barrel

    I am looking forward to it! I'm thinking about going in the other direction and going loud. Thinking APA little bastard or hellfire match and see if I can get it soft enough to watch the impacts in the scope. I've never had a 6.5cm so I am not sure how much free recoil I need to mitigate to...

    WTB Tikka Factory D18/ember/SS fluted 6.5C barrel

    Any idea what the benefit is from Tikka doing that? I've always heard they shoot slow, but never really the "why" until now.

    WTB Tikka Factory D18/ember/SS fluted 6.5C barrel

    How's the ember in person?!? I am right on the fence on the exact same rifle, same caliber, here in the next week or so. I only really plan to do trigger spring, vertical tikka grip, and maybe that hunter rail from salmon river solutions. How's the stock in person?

    WTB Tikka Factory D18/ember/SS fluted 6.5C barrel

    Yeah, Tikka lists the tan web and black web roughtech's as "Black steel"...who knows what that means. Only the roughtech ember is specifically listed as stainless steel. The super varmint is tungsten ceracote. The veil and veil wildland are like a cream (Desert Verde) or brown (Midnight Bronze)...

    Tikka 7mm PRC?

    Love this...I'm at that point of, "Either tikka will offer a 7prc by shot show, or I'll buy the 7mm rem mag and the prefit and do it myself". That proof prefit just looking too nice. :)

    Stock vs Chassis for Field Shooting

    Ah, that makes sense. So just a more secure connection that is designed to interface perfectly with the stock instead of reusing the plastic bottom metal. Does that swap everything? (mag well, bottom structure, and trigger guard) or are those separate parts that get reused from the barrelled...

    Stock vs Chassis for Field Shooting

    What is the difference between the EH1tk's with and without the mini chassis? I can't seem to find a good description on Manner's website. Cost worth the mini chassis?

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    100% agreed. Tossed up the Bergara MG Lite or Divide, maybe even a waypoint 2020 or sig cross...but there is something to be said about a nice action and a reliable rifle. Will be picking up a t3x roughtech ember in 6.5 next week and joining the club. With proof prefits and the...

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    Yeahhhhh if they wanted to add a 20moa cant option...phew! They could just own the market entirely on Tikka rings.

    Who else is a Tikka convert?

    I am deep in the research game for the next rifle and have been comparing EVERYTHING non-custom (and a few custom options) to the Tikka T3X and struggling to find anything that competes well. What are you finding that you like enough to be okay with a less-than-tikka quality action? The...

    6.5 for elk

    It is honestly wild how different the opinions are. Nearly every gun store or range warrior in Colorado prepping for a hunt seems to be .308, ,.300winmag, 7mm remmag, .338, or a break-your-shoulder 28/30 nosler. Nothing to back up the choices other than, "Big game big caliber". Then on here...

    6.5 for elk

    Yep, that ole "Moose in the eye with a .22lr" adage. Sounds hokey, but there's some truth to it. At the end of the day...if you're missing vitals on something as sturdy as an Elk...they're gone, blood trail will likely be shit, and you won't recover that animal. As you said right, vitals and...

    6.5 for elk

    Yep, probably about 70 or so pages of it. A good read. Learning that if you put the right bullet into the right spot at the velocity needed for proper expansion/penetration, 6.5cm is more than adequate for Elk. Now I also see some stuff like, "Took bull at 850m with ELD-M" and I cringe a bit...
