    SAUM help choosing.

    Had a guide to that to me on a pig hunt, crown of a hill and I didn't know what was behind it. Kept telling me to take the shot, might not get another one. There were some ranch houses nearby. So I shot in front of it in the dirt and it ran off. They knew I shot long range matches so he...

    Match barrel . . . Really?

    I've got 3 10/22's that easily shoot one inch groups at 50, usually closer to 1/2 with CCI SV. If your plan is .22 matches you're limiting yourself with an AR style 22. 10/22's can do well but a bolt will generally do better.

    I’m an idiot

    Looks like a factory rifle, doesn't affect anything , stick a mag in it and you'll never see it. :)

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    Yep, my .223 shooting 77smk's takes less elevation to 1K than my .308.

    Tikka 300WSM Long Action Questions

    Pretty sure the MDT 300 WM magazines will work, they work for a 7 saum. Waters mags with a tikka BM worked the best.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus BTR vs other LOW scopes

    I have a few Cronus scopes, glass is good, I like the reticles a lot. One is several years old and has been used at many matches and practices. Was at a rimfire match awhile back and someone wanted to shoot my Bergara, it has a Cronus on it. He shoots a RimX with a ZCO on it. When he got...

    7prc vs 7saum for Sako 85 Long

    I would guess that it would, do you have the Sako and mags, I could send you a few pieces of brass with 180's seated to about 3.2 that you could try yourself.

    Stiller vs Surgeon

    I have a stiller, I like my Tikka's better. I like my impact even more and that would be my choice :)

    What's the most budget, Bang for Buck, no frills afterwards Barrel and stock combo for a 10/22?

    Green mountain and Feddersen barrels shoot great as well, I have both. I did the cleaning hole anchor point on a couple rifles as well, no rocking and they pretty much shoot one hole at 25 with CCI SV, I've got about 20K of it so I'm still shooting it in the 10/22's. Titan stock works fine, I...

    Optic for 16” 6.5 CM AR10

    I'd get the Athlon, I have a few, cronus, ares, midas, they have all been reliable for me. At that price I might buy one just because it's a great deal. Just wanted to add an a bit. Was a rimfire match and someone got behind my rifle to see how a begara 22 trigger felt. Shot a mag at a few...

    moa vs mils, the forbidden thread

    So, if you're 1000 yards away how are you measuring, walking up and using a ruler or the reticle in your scope. It doesn't matter what the measurements are called, just that they match. So you you missed by 1.6 quarks, dial or hold the 1.6 quarks and hit the target. :)

    Help me decide on a new hunting rifle.

    308 or 6.5 CM, more options for hunting ammo and heavier bullets if needed.

    7prc vs 7saum for Sako 85 Long

    Either would run fine, I'd go with the PRC just because it's being currently produced. You can buy factory ammo for it now. I have a 7 Saum throated long for 180's, runs fine in a Tikka with waters mags.

    Are Bergara's slow?

    I put a 24 in PRC barrel on a Tikka that I got a good deal on at Christmas. Norma 143 factory ammo is slower than my 6.5 CM shooting 140's with handloads.
