    Good for him for posting an explanation of what happened.

    Tikka T1X

    I looked at the link and have to ask. How is this a good idea? It pretty much says its a alternative to bulk ammo. Also where would but the priming compound if you wanted to try this? There are so many things that could go wrong. I too load for everything I own except 22lr and my 30-06. To me...

    Tikka T1X

    I saw one of the replies to the video was something like "tikka has some explaining to do". It appears to be an aftermarket barrel in a chassis and who knows what mods were done. I'd say he's getting the knee jerk reactions he was seeking and we'll probably never know what really what happened...

    Tikka T1X

    It would be interesting to know the FULL back story. My guess is that human error is involved.

    Aerodynamic Jump with 22lr.

    Merlin posted the simple method for figuring wind holds.

    Vudoo vs tikka T1x

    Unless I was wanting something in a chassis I'd be looking for a nice Winchester 52C, it's a repeater and they shoot well.

    Winchester 52 questions?

    I couldn't help myself, I had to shoot it. So after cleaning, drying, lubing it up and adjusting the trigger it was time to see if it would go bang. I installed a set of Redfield Palma rear and International front sights. With all the rain we've had the back yard where I shoot to 100 yards is...

    Winchester 52 questions?

    Okay guys it's finally here, the gun shop took my money and FFl info on Wednesday and didn't ship until the following Monday. Anyway I picked it up today. The stock isn't beat up much at all, the tuners are still in it too. There is one crack on the end of the fore end but after it's glued I...

    Tikka T1x and Jard triggers

    I adjusted the trigger tonight following the included instructions, it's at about 4.7 ounces. But if the bolt is slammed forward and down it will slam fire, no bump fire and it has to be slammed forward and down to fire. Slam it forward only or down only and it won't fire. Honestly I've never...

    Tikka T1x and Jard triggers

    My Jard trigger that I ordered earlier this week came today so I installed it tonight. The safety lever is too tall and prevents the bolt from cycling so tomorrow night I'll cut 1/8" out of the lever and tig weld it back together. It still may require some grinding to clear. Just cocking and dry...

    New Anschutz 1761 MSR and 1761 HB MPR

    Won't that be hard to prove? Aren't you are pretty much building a custom rifle with either one, you buy the receiver then pick the barrel, trigger and stock? It appears to me that the accuracy debate is going to come down to ammo, barrels. and the builders skill. Not to mention the monkey...

    Waiting for people to start complaining about the "keel" like they do on the Tikka. LOL

    The rifle should be at my FFL Friday, it'll be Monday before I can pick it up. Thanks.

    Time to start applying centerfire logic to .22 (was just zero, now expanded to other areas)

    I don't shoot groups when zeroing, I may shoot one bull until I get it close. Then I shoot targets like the A-17 (.135" 10 ring) with several bulls, one shot per bull. IMHO this gives me a better idea what my rifle is doing. This and $1.50 will buy you a cup of coffee in some places.

    Tikka T1X

    I'm thinking about a Jard trigger for mine, with the 9-11 oz spring. I can always buy the heavier spring if I want. Pretty much all I do with mine is punch paper and take care of the squirrels in my pecan trees.

    Tikka T1X

    Mine won't go below 2lbs no matter what spring I try.
