2025’s ice and snow comparison/reliability eval between rifles/actions/triggers. As last year, this is not a “test”, it is just a view at what generally happens. Doing a legitimate test requires more rifles and consistent conditions than I have. So…
The rifles:
1). Tikka T3 in Rokstok
2). MRC in wood Rokstok
3). R700 short action, factory trigger
4). BAT Hammer Head with Bix N Andy Tacsport trigger in chassis
This will be done in multiple steps, from near worst case working back to easy- to see any differences that show themselves. Every rifle is started in exactly the same condition- empty chamber, closed bolt, safety on, magazine loaded and/or inserted.
1). 4 ounces of water were poured from the top onto the action and trigger, then dropped into the snow. Temp is 31° F.
MRC getting washed-
TBC……
