Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks

Nice passive aggressive dig
everything. nope but learning along the way for sure

My background is probably as deep or deeper than some of the “experts” here. especially when it comes to rifle barrels. Carbon wrapped barrels specifically. So i’ll keep that knowledge if no one wants it.

It wasn’t meant as a dig more just comparing to myself and my older thought processes on firearms topics in general.

I’m not interested in anybody’s “background” or self proclaimed “knowledge depth” sorry. I’d rather just go out and try things for myself and see what happens and report back.

Ok. no worries.

Your actions show you follow backgrounds well. you seem to follow quite a bit of knowledge from the influencers here. Apology accepted

Another pristine looking Tikka with a Rokstok, and a Maven. You are consistent, just remember to leave some of the cooler water for the rest of us.

That rifle looks pristine for one that has never been cleaned. Nice job

Nice passive aggressive dig

This quote is pretty funny in light of the prior 2 posts.

Not cleaning barrels is delightful. Been shooting ARs without touching the bore for at least a decade.

I love the process of cleaning. every piece and part. Take care of my kit and it takes care of me.

To each their own

Cheers

I just wish there were a good factory supressor ready rifle option for 6mm creed..... pretty slim pickins.

Gen 1 RAP in 6CM is threaded and ready to go. Howa did have barreled actions in 6CM but they have dried up. I've not tried any Ruger American Gen 2 rifles yet. Right now, you have 2 options, cheap rifles and expensive rifles with little in-between.

What I did was went out and tried it to see if it was all full of shit, as requested by said “influencers”.

You see which way I “lean” on topics now

I tried to get a good one but seem to suck at it. This is 1,100 rounds with only action wipe downs. Just wiped down after a hunt about a week ago or so.

You, Sir, are disgusting! (But I'm very impressed you knocked out these pics so quickly!)

Probably one of the few who do.

Cheers!

I wouldn't say that. believe it or not I bet a fair number of the adherents landed on this site because their shit wasn't working.

I found Formidolosus' posts probably 6 years ago about rifle scope mounting and reliable scopes because I kept having my scopes lose zero and I was sick of it.

So I tried what he suggested and it worked...... I'm willing to bet that's how it goes more often than not.

You mean you took the data, you tested the data, and then you followed the data, and it lead you to being a better rifleman and killer of living things? That seems to be the path that I was on and that the data shared on Rokslide accelerated for me.

When you mount your rifle, does the chip on your shoulder get in the way?

 

[Shraggs]

This ^ is exactly and exactly the same topic that I also implemented and holy cow it worked!

Then, the 223/77… nope, wait what, hmm. I better test for myself. Damn that worked too…

Etc.

Cheers, right

Edit, to post 209

No, but the salty tears makes for Hella rust issues so he cleans rifles more than he shoots them!

Sounds like we struck a nerve with @Article 4, but maybe we just bumped the chip on his shoulder. Article 4: “You follow influencers”. Me: “No, but I tested clearly presented data for myself and found it to be true, so that’s my method now.” Article 4: “You’re passive aggressive, and you follow influencers.”

That about sums it up. Sigh
