Backfire had a video up where he compared 20" against 24" and found that the difference between the 6.5 prc and creedmoor was also the difference between 20 & 24" pipes.
Personally I went with a tikka upr in a creed, with a 24"
I know you didn't mention it, but beretta brx1 is completely ambidextrous, and a slick rifle, best of all, when sell time, either right or left shooters can use it
What's yalls vote for the go to electronic powder dropper? Fa intelladropper, rcbs chargemaster, hornady?
Looking for 1 to do primarily rifle shells for target / hunting. 223, 22-250, 6.5 cm.
I dunno, I just sold a sako s20 precision and bought a tikka upr. I think the tikka is the better rifle. Stock on the upr doesn't have that cheap plastic feel, both actions are smooth, the trigger doesn't slide in the upr but its still an adjustable, crisp trigger. And I can buy...
Its a varmiter, .75 at the muzzle, haven't pushed it past 3 shot groups. I did however completely disassemble the rifle, remove scope, removed the rail, threaded the muzzle, reassemble, and hit the same 1" target @ 100 yards.
So I'm curious how price plays into accuracy. My assumption is that its minor relevance.
The rifle should be of the hunting class, say less than 12lbs.
So I my most accurate is probably my tikka 22-250, I haven't taken the thermal off it to shoot a groups with it, but sighting in, she's sub...
Well, here's my 2 cents on the dead horse...
So, why did winchester quit making their action after what 40 years of being the premier American bolt action? Why did they re-tool their entire product line? Cause what they were making was not selling. I'll wager that a rifle of the pre64...
Why not just get a fast twist 243 win, and ai it if you feel the need?
I like the tikka idea, looked at seekins, bergera's and others at euro optics, and tikka won.
I like fast and flat for my calling rifle. Currently shooting a tikka t3x varmit in 22-250.
With hogs being targeted id definitely go 243, and if your hunting a bait site, maybe 6.5 creed. Coyote fur isn't worth anything, and 6.5 will thump a piggy.
Im a urban logger. Own a tree service. Have done excavation work as well. Military trained as an electronics tech and law enforcement.
I work so I can afford motorcycles, and coyote hunting.
I ordered an mdt oryx cause I have 1 on a ruger american g2, shot better, and worked in my tripod better. I think the oryx will fit the tikka easier than the American, the front action screw is blind on the ruger, to swap stocks the mag release must be removed, and its a shouldered pin with a...
I grew up on a farm so my scouting was from a tractor seat. Deer, buck included are quite predictable pre rut, I like to hunt food, and field corners, and peak times / days. 2 hrs when the conditions are right beats 3 days of the wrong conditions.
