Stippling, or put on some silicon carbide?

Hey mate, I haven't seen that product before, but now you have my interest! I might have to see if I can find something similar over here, but no, I was going to stipple the grip areas myself as the moulded grip panels are a bit on the smooth side.Stippling, or put on some silicon carbide?
TFB Armorer's Bench: I Tried to Silicon Carbide a Pistol Grip
In this article, I am going to relay my experience working with silicon carbide and the process of applying it to a grip.
The MDT oryx is also a good buy. That will be my next upgrade. Looking forward to it.

Hi Paige,
Not a Tikka barrel, but they come from the same place. 24" fluted 6.5cm, it shoots really good.
They’re the exact same.
That’s awesome man congrats to you both!
Both of these are the 24” fluted 6.5cm barrels on a Roughtech. Well, one isn’t now, it’s been cut to 20”. Both are shooters with factory ammo. Have some loads made that I need to shoot
Eye of newt, 2 bat wings, 8 spider legs, and a can of spam. (It is Halloween soon lol)
I dunno man, I don’t think Tikka/Beretta is importing them anymore for some dumb reason.
Boolits man, them boolits
Don’t remember how long you can load the CTR mags but the 73eldm is another option designed to be shot out of the short AR style mags.
I already know how the gun shoots. It's a 1/2 moa gun, and lower with that load. The harmonics of a fluted barrel is going to perform a little different than a non fluted barrel. It may be as good, and work with my load, it may not, that's what I will have to test.
Especially fluted of a different profile.
But what about fluted barrels vs non-fluted vs saxophoned barrels with a tuner and this bipod??????

Considering that thread is in the Legendary it probably wins. Tuner was pretty crap show too. I think the fluted was in the middle of the Structured thread from 2020.But what about fluted barrels vs non-fluted vs saxophoned barrels with a tuner and this bipod??????
Recoil Control Bipods
I'm curious what you guys think of these recoil control bipods? They are designed to function in grassy terrain, not rocks or sand and mainly for competitions, like F-Class but work well in certain types of sniper matches as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvw-4DuHE9Q
Inquiring minds demand a comparo!

Mine didn't like the 75 amax and I know another that wouldn't shoot the 75 eld either. The CTR magazines allow for loading with them though, if yours likes them.
For me, I would rather have the extra mass rather than fluted in some way. More mass handles heat and deflection better. Once you start removing mass it’s all downhill, IMHOBut what about fluted barrels vs non-fluted vs saxophoned barrels with a tuner and this bipod??????

I had to blow the guy at euro optic. (Edit: whoops- read it as… ‘for finding a 223 CTR’)
Hey sometimes you gotta flaunt it
They are both going to function the same between the metal and the polymer magazines. Most shooting competitions will go with the metal since you can have a 12-round mag capacity.
Southern Precision Rifles offers a wide selection of barrels. How much trouble did you have in removing your factory barrel ? I've read where it's a royal PITA, sometimes the barrel has to be cut off near the action ?
Great. You bastage!

I did a long write up on this a while back. The best thing to do besides wheeler action wrench, rosin, and barrel vice is soak the barrel/action joint in wd40 or CLP over night. You would be amazed how far that stuff gets into the threads and makes life a lot easier on the Tikka. My last barrel change was a breeze.Great. You bastage!
Well, I didn’t do so well.
Big tips:
1) just very lightly snug an exterior action wrench on the side flats of the receiver
2) the Brownells rosin I used didn’t seem to do much. (Once the factory barrel was removed, a piece of scrap leather worked well for grip)
3) I’d just bring it to a gunsmith lol
The next factory Tikka barrel I tried to remove just spun in my barrel vise (Short Action Customs Modular).

Tikka T3 Thread
I pretty much said all I have to say about it in the first post I made. There is nothing I would buy an Origin over a Tikka for. You get a complete rifle for the cost of an Origin action, and there's a great chance the factory tikka barrel will shoot sub moa with match grade factory ammo. If...
