This guy is really milking this tikka thing.

[FredH]

I would like Tikka's if they had a decent stock ergo, had more I could do for tinkering. But alas they are perfect for the guy who just wants to get a rifle and shoot it.

I’m surprised they didn’t mention one of the law suits, the kid that was shot by his mother while unloading the kids rifle wasn’t pointed directly at him, but close enough a bullet bounced off the horse trailer into the kid. My mother grew up with rifles in her hand for half a century and I wouldn’t trust her to point a gun at me while unloading it.

Other product liability lawsuit where one kid shot the other while they were walking - what didn’t make the news is a jury in the criminal case found the shooter guilty.

Another liability case had the shooter, who was unfamiliar with the rifle, pull it out of a gun case when it went off. How many of you trust your brain dead cousin Jimmy to point a loaded gun at you while pulling it out of a gun case? The state police couldn’t get the rifle to malfunction.

This design does require maintenance or old oil will gum up causing problems, it used to be considered idiotic to not clean and lightly lubricate firearms, now everything has to be so idiot proof I wonder how the world functions.

I laugh at the “competition” shooters who play gunsmith on the weekend and adjust Remington or Tikka triggers to the point they can’t be dropped on the butt without going off, then complain they don’t work correctly.

Product liability lawsuits over stupid stuff have decimated US manufacturers and will probably be the end of most firearms. We’ll be stuck with guns with 10 lb triggers, electric backup safeties, and who knows what kind of other idiotic regulations. Thanks lawyers.

That little AI blurb was heavily flawed. The Mark Xpro trigger was introduced in response to the problems with the Walker trigger. It was not the one with any issues.

I just went and read the first post on that 24 hours campfire thread. I honestly thought I would never have to hear him talk about his made up failing ejector springs again, but here we are. If I remember correctly he claimed it happened on multiple rifles yet there are guys with 10s of thousands of rounds through their Tikkas without this issue.

The signal to noise ratio at 24HC is horrible.

Shills and trolls screaming over each other gets old.

Ive gone over there a few times just to check it out after it was mentioned here.

Everytime I've checked it out i left wondering why anyone would want to hang around there.

It's just like the fake news networks......these losers put up a fake, negative, controversial, or fear mongering video/story and you'll get some clicks.

Exactly. I Was just going to say this.

YouTube is just a sad place for gun content these days.

Winning in the wind, some of Eric cortina's stuff, maybe f class John. They're pretty useful. But you have to understand these guys are shooting world class rifles most of the time. Not everyone is. I haven't watched enough of little crow gun works yet to make any intelligent statement there.

And then there's a ton of garbage.
" If I don't count this flyer, this is a great load".
Yeah.

Lots of good information to be found over there, you just have to be thick skinned enough to handle it.

Is there a mobile version for viewing on my phone. I remember that being annoying also.

I mean if a guy is catering to joe six pack who's shooting is off rickety benches with lead sleds or at whitetails inside 100 yards from a shooting house.. That Whoo tee whoo guy is probably pretty solid.

Backfire Jim has put out some pretty ignorant content in regards to hunting, terminal ballistics, and wildlife management which made him come off as a yuppie Utard lawyer who's just learning about hunting (might not be far off) but I think all the recent content highlighting how much people over estimate their capabilities and how lots of guns have problems regardless of price is fantastic for the avg guy to see.

Remember your dealing with 65 plus year old angry white guys.
Makes it easier.

I deleted anyway not trying to get banned haha. I mean no harm. I just can’t stand ignorance and enjoy seeing your guys opinions on it.

His first tikka video he was absolutely outraged that the Tikka didn't come with a picatinny rail. He was about to cry because he needed to buy his own pic rail and put it on. But he HAD to have a pic rail.

Then he mounted some one piece thing his friend makes.........

 

[Cdnance]

Looks like we got the “Mean Girls Club” over here!
I’m guessing that this may be the group to send that guy threatening messages and cussing him out. You guys are ridiculous! He has a different opinion than you based off of his one experience.
Get over it and shoot whatever rifle you want however you want.

Idk if he’s friends or not. But I’ve been using said mounts for years and feel that’s one of the few things right about the tikka vids.

Well said. A lot of high horsing on here.

I watched one of his videos back when I was researching rifle calibers and that was enough for me. He was one of the crowd that “pulled” every shot that didn’t land where he wanted instead of reporting the actual precision of his gun. That mentality seems to be more common than not. If you are good enough to be a self proclaimed YouTube gun expert, shouldn’t you be able to shoot without “pulling” every third shot? “Ooops, that one was my fault” seems a lot easier for most people to swallow than “Dang, this new gun I just bought seems to shoot two inch groups at 100 yards”.

 

[Cdnance]

I got an idea!
We need to get Rokslide to reach out to WhoDeeWho and see about having a shooting competition.
All the guys who have been talking shit can go on his show and have a “shoot off” shoot free hand, with bags, prone, from a lead sled.
Then when it gets to the final few you shoot his rifle and he shoots yours.
