They slide on the scope main body don't they?

That’s true, I see it now

Nothing like vaulting over mouse turds…

Just sayin’

I can jump, son.

This was my work around for a tikka/scope combo that I thought needed a axial stop where the integrated sportsmatch pin won’t work. Screw came from a mount I’m not using.

Metric threads?

regardless of the comments, the point remains. If you place a pin in the unthreaded rear portion, you can’t use sportsmatch rings and still cycle your bolt, barring a mistake on my part.

I reckon. I just used a bolt from a DNZ mount I have and am not using.

Yep, mistake on your part
Swap the rings around so the one without a hole goes at the front allowing it to move forward to the front of the dovetail
The ring with the hole goes over the rear pin

Oh man! I really want to start in with the Kingpin quotes and memes now.

I'd hate to break it to her, but with those hips, she couldn't have more than 6 or 7 children

Mods: This is a very interesting, informative thread, and several other conversations have arisen from it, some also quite informative.

Could the spin off conversations about non 223 cartridges and rifle systems and such be moved to their own thread?

Sure think, Buzz Killinger

Thought I’d add to this: decided to carry my ar loaded with some 77s on a recent pig hunt where I wasn’t too worried about taking a shot or not and was given an opportunity at a running shot after my friend took the initial shot at the feeding herd. The 77 did great work and the pig died right there despite less than ideal shot placement

My was the brown one, the black one was shot with a 120ttsx from a 7mm-08 and ran about 50 yards

For you tikka 223 guys... what is the best/favorite budget suppressor to dedicate to your 223/tikka/6xswfa combo? Anything Under 10oz, less than 8 inches long, and under $600?

I'm just using my 30 cal can.

There isn’t one that is less than 10oz that meets your other desires.

I haven't used one yet, but there is the Griffin Optimus Micro. I bought one in July and expect I still have a long time before it comes into my possession with the rate eforms are being approved. It will be louder than larger suppressors though.

I Google it... and came up with a wyoming arms 4 squared and 5 squared ti suppressor, 4 and 5 oz respectively. Fits the bill price wise... just don't know how they would do on actual suppression. I read they claim to reduce 20db on a 300win. Anyone tried one on a 223? Anything else comparable?

Here you go, from today, my brother’s stainless T3 Varmint.

Kinda cold, 38F, which might explain the difference in velocity between our rifles.

Happy?

Daaaaaamn! I stand corrected! Those are some impressive numbers.

They are suppressors in name and legality only. Bluntly there is no way I would shoot one without ear pro on any CF. Legit supports that reduce the sound to hearing safe for impulse are going to be around 10oz and 6-8” long, and over $600. The least expensive one I have used that is actually a functional can is the JK Armaments one that is $450’ish and I think 11oz. It is a usable can.
