    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR 3 Vs Athlon Cronus

    XTR3 is slightly below the glass quality of the Cronus if center-axis clarity is all you're looking at - XTR3 Pro is ahead of both by a fair margin in center clarity and definitely above the Cronus in FOV, eyebox, off-center CA, etc. Yes I have owned all 3 and have a significant amount of time...

    New Tikka Inbound and Another Question about Stocks

    Surprising. I just got an MDT field stock and I think it's fantastic for the price. Can't remember the site but I got the stock and an AICS mag for $320 shipped to my door. Did require a tiny bit of trimming but the stock itself is by far the nicest $300 stock I've ever bought. Nothing else...

    Tikka MDT Field Stock fit issues

    Anyone have issues with this? I got a 10-round MDT AICS metal mag (no binder plate) and it won't seat/latch. Tikka CTR in case it matters. Mag is clearly running into the bottom of the action.

    New Tikka Chassis Rifle Coming T3X Ace Game & Target

    CTR stock is actually a very decent hunting stock with good ergos and super light weight.

    Take off barrel caliber/value

    They do seem to go really high on ebay... Unfortunately the 22-250 I'm looking at is 1:14 twist and I think that would limit value quite a bit. Of course the 308 is about 70 dollars more expensive so I'm not sure if the 308 would bring that much more of a premium or not. It's a 24" so...

    Take off barrel caliber/value

    Super varmint, not varmint. My bad. They're all threaded semi-heavy barrel. They're all stocks with adjustable cheeks.

    Take off barrel caliber/value

    Long story short. Trying to help a buddy. Gonna buy a Tikka CTR/UPR/Varmint just for the action and stock that he likes. Can get a decent deal on either a 22-250 or 308. If it’s a longer barrel (24”), is the 308 or 22-250 barrel likely to sell quicker? Or about the same?

    Bushnell customer support (or lack there of)

    I had a cheap bushnell prime scope that I had a windage turret screw back out on me while hunting so I lost the turret cap and screw. I called just asking to buy replacement parts and they answered quickly, talked to me in english with a person from America, and in less than a week I had an...

    Prefit barrel question

    Tikka 243, 22-250, or 308 action with a 6.5 cm PVA osprey prefit for a Tikka

    Prefit barrel question

    Tikka CTR action, PVA osprey prefit I don't have gauges so I'll have to figure that out (amazon out of stock on everything it seems)...but I never really planned on rebarreling without gauges anyway, even if it "should" fit

    Prefit barrel question

    I know it's a dumb question - if I want to go to 6.5 creedmoor, and I have a 243 or 308, I can screw in a shouldered 6.5 CM prefit barrel and it should headspace correctly without any problem? In theory at least? As long as it's a 308 bolt face, the bolt and bolt face don't know or care what...

    6.5 Creed build - Impact 737r, pre-fit mfg, profile?

    Let me go find the dang link - posted the wrong one. That's the one I sent to a buddy asking about something. We'll agree to disagree on the Tikka. You can learn a lot about shooting and reloading before you'd even know the difference between a moderately modified tikka and a much more...

    6.5 Creed build - Impact 737r, pre-fit mfg, profile?

    The link I posted hours ago was a lefty.

    6.5 Creed build - Impact 737r, pre-fit mfg, profile?

    I was referring to the option the OP mentioned. Nothing at all wrong with the Solus action either. That's a very reasonable option - comparable to the Tikka as you mention.
