    Stock or chassis for Howa mini barreled action

    I generally prefer a chassis. I am very happy with my Southern Cross Small Arms TSP X chassis. The folder locks up rock solid, the mLok forend accepts an arca rail. It is not ridiculously heavy. A really great solution. They are an Australian company. Midwest Gun Works is the vendor mine...

    Cheek Risers - Recommendations

    I have tried numerous variations of cheek risers over the years. I really like the one I got from Mountain Tactical. Installing the riser does require drilling but it was really simple to do. If I can do it, anyone can do it. By adding the cheek riser and vertical grip, I fixed all the...

    WY Cow elk last fall, 275 yards with a 7mmRM 168gr Berger suppressed. She dropped and rolled down the dune.

    Hunting with supressor vs brake

    You mention being plenty accurate. It is unusual for accuracy to get worse when shooting a suppressor. Accuracy will sometimes improve. While i am a FNG here, I have been shooting a long time with suppressors. The only time I shoot a rifle unsuppressed is when shooting 3gun. Any other time...

    New rifle recs?

    I’m missing something. My 7mm RM T3x Lite is threaded from the factory & meets the 9.5 lb weight requirement with scope. I think you should look more closely at the Tikka line. It has a lot of variants.

    Do you take your suppressor off?

    You and I have basically the same rifle. Mine is 51" long with my TBAC Ultra 7 using the CB mount. I have cases that are long enough, however I take my can off all the time with no problems. I can personally vouch for the Armageddon Gear cases. They protect and are extremely durable. I have...

    Actions as Reliable as Tikka

    I have several Remington 700's, but was exposed to Sako rifles and was amazed at the smoothness. Then my son chose a Tikka T3x TACA1 for his high school graduation gift from my employer at the time. This put me on the path to learning more about the Tikka line and comparing the current...

    Youth rifle to keep

    Wise words, and similar to my experience raising my son.

    Youth rifle to keep

    Something else that just came to mind to consider would be the availability of a .22lr variant for low-cost practice. The Tikka T1x drops into T3x stocks/chassis and can uses the same factory parts used to adjust the stock fit. (note: stocks/chassis that were made prior to the introduction of...

    Youth rifle to keep

    Another vote for a Tikka. I have become a Tikka fan after first hand experience. Lots of options for caliber, compact or not, box fed or blind mag, wood-synthetic-laminated stock, synthetic stock just black or with a pattern, threaded or not….

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    I have some really nice chassis guns but they are all heavy. My 7mm RM was my choice to carry on a WY elk hunt. I really wanted an MDT HNT-26 for it but just could not justify the cost. So I modified what I had thinking I would pick up an HNT-26 later. The results were so comfortable that I...

    Why no more T3X CTR 223’s?

    In for the reply. I have wanted a CTR in 223 and 308 for awhile now. CTR 308 in a KRG Bravo would make a poor man's Sako TRG22.

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Not certain if my T3x Lite Roughtech 7mm Rem Mag qualifies as semi-custom, but it is not completely stock. It has the following additions.... Mountain Tactical Cheek Riser Mountain Tactical Raptor Scope Mount Mountain Tactical ARCA - Lite rail Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x Thunderbeast Arms CB...

    suppressed 300wsm? - input requested

    I have a Tikka T3x Lite in 7mm Rem Mag. I run a Thunderbeast Ultra 7 on it. Suppressed vs. unsuppressed is a very different experience. The Ultra 7 is so light weight, there is not a discernable difference in POI at 100 yards. My only complaint is how long the whole thing is. I love the...
