This guy is really milking this tikka thing.

[WHOTEEWHO]

Have you ever considered stepping things down cartridge-wise until you arrive at a cartridge you can shoot well without a lead sled?

A lead sled has nothing to do with shooting well. Feel free to find all of the 50bmg, 338 Lapua, 338 win mag, 500 Jeffrey, 300 win mag, 7mm rem mag, 300 prc all shooting well off of lead sled too . Purpose of the lead sled is to showcase the performance of the rifle as to not depend on the shooter, not "Oh my this thing recoils so bad I have to use a lead sled" . I have hundreds of examples of also shooting the magnums on bipod, offhand, prone, etc. etc . Same whole groups with 338 win mag. From my 24 hours on this website it seems the entire point of this web page is centered around people making false claims and bringing people down . Instead of complaining online and talking bad about others let's go do something productive - build people up, read a book, start a new hobby, get a job.

So if you shoot out of a lead sled you cant shoot? Wouldnt it make sense if you are doing a gun review that shooting it from a sled to try and remove the human element from it would be a decent idea?

One of the most common reasons for using a lead sled is for higher volume shooting where you want to take out the human element/margin of error, especially higher recoiling cartridges. If ever there were an appropriate application for this style shooting rest, it would be with the type of multiple ammo testing that Adam frequently videos.

This YouTube channel is one of my favorites. I disagree with about 25% of what he does, but that 25% doesn’t diminish the entertainment value, for me at least. Per everything in life, you glean the useful information from the encounter and then discard the rest.

Your mileage may vary.

Could you point to where on this forum you have seen people making false claims and or bringing people down?

Who is this "friend" you speak of? I bought a one piece DNZ mount - I have no friend there. So much nonsense being posted on this site .

I watched the video back, he ordered it from his friend at the gun shop.

Sorry, I misspoke out of ignorance in a way that made my statement more inflammatory.........

I watched his new video testing more factory ammo.

I'm back in on this guy. I about tipped over laughing at his traditional bullet after copper bit! I might be a regular viewer now. Dang it.

If this is you, I hope you can see the irony in this. You posted a video online criticizing Tikka fan boys who then criticized your criticisms. Nobody is tearing anyone down.

You're getting views. We are entertaining ourselves. That's the system. That's where the revenue comes from that keeps the lights on for you, and here. You don't really want everyone that watches your videos to agree with everything you say, do you?

All of his members sure do and that seems to be where most of the comments on YouTube are coming from.

The majority of this thread is members talking shit about that guy and his equipment.

So why don’t benchrest shooters, ELR shooters, etc use lead sleds to load dev at least? Because they can shoot tighter without one. You can be more consistent, allow the gun to recoil like it’s supposed to, and shoot tighter without a sled.

They are a crutch for people who want to avoid recoil or don’t know how to build a solid position on a bench/prone.

Then I would recommend YOU don’t use one.

Oh no I read it, this thread is not representative of the whole forum though, its just one thread.

I could argue that you could factually prove that a Tikka is a superior rifle to a mossberg patriot. So where are all the false claims?

I'd take a Mossberg Patriot anyway over a Tikka t3x . Why in the world would I choose a junk Tikka that shoots 2 inch groups over a Mossberg Patriot that shoots half inch groups every time. That would be the definition of insanity.

Look. I’ve never watched any of your videos. I skimmed through the one that was posted here and the things you say, and your practices for coming to “conclusions” are so far and away from anything actually statistically relevant thats it’s not even worth the time to type out this response. Yet here I am haha.

Maybe some of your other videos have some sort of firearms related “value” to them, but based on your replies here, I’d say it’s likely more of the exact same.

It doesn’t have anything to do with “Tikkas” or “Mossbergs” and if you haven’t realized that yet, you have an IMMENSE amount of learning to do.

You can’t prove anything, because it is all based on an opinion. That is the whole premise of every one of his videos. His opinion based off of his review.

You’re right, it’s not the whole forum. My apologies if I said or implied that.

I’m not missing any point. I think everyone else is missing the point. Like I just said, all of this is based off of this one guys opinion.
He may not do things the way you or anyone else do them, but it all comes down to his opinion.
Which is just the same as all the folks who have talked about him. Those are their opinions.
My point is you don’t have to try and degrade the man and his equipment because you don’t like his opinion.

That’s my whole point!

What does that have to do with anything?
Did anybody say any different? I guess I don’t get your point.

 

[The Guide]

And others too. They have a right to express an opinion that Adam uses inferior equipment and techniques to provide optimal results. Adam is a public figure and gets paid to be in the publics eye and with that payment, he has to be ready to take criticism and have a tough skin. That's part of the job.
