    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    huh. it shows the little banner "mail-in rebate" on the header but doesn't down below. I suppose this might be a misprint and if it is, that changes things. at $180 difference, the 10T is a solid winner. at $280, maybe not. dang, I'm going to call tomorrow... anyway, I wouldn't want a threaded...

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    ok, so I looked at the 10T - it's on sale too - $449 after rebate. that's $180 more than the 12FV but you get a threaded 5R barrel, scope rail, detachable magazine (comes with 4rd, fits 10-rd) cool-guy bolt handle, Accu-stock with full length bedding rail though the beaver-tail foreend and...

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    ok, what's the dirty secret with these Cabelas Savage 12FV? I mean, when does the other shoe drop, what's the bad thing that no one's talking about? for the price this seems too good to be true. I know these have internal magazine but that can be fixed with a stock and bottom metal, right? is...

    Victor Company USA Titan review

    I have a 10-22 and I want to begin building it into a target/training rifle for not a lot of money. the Magpul stock is mentioned above as an alternative. for someone just starting out, are they similar enough that it's a coin toss, or is the Titan a better choice overall?..

    Rifle Scopes Parallax questions

    great question. I have adjusted parallax according to the numbers on the dial and where the image is sharpest. most often they don't match up. then I have moved my head around to see if the reticle drifted on target and it usually does. this leads me to believe that with my scopes I have...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I hope this is the right place to ask this question but can the CTR be moved to an aftermarket stock and still shoot production in PRS? how about the Tac A1, can that shoot in production class as is?..

    Tikka CTR or Lite with Chassis

    how important is a comb riser if the stock actually fits you? does going prone with a bipod require a different height than field positions?..

    Tikka CTR or Lite with Chassis

    thanks, that's just the info I was looking for. the way I was looking at it was the difference in price is basically a wash for the stock but you get an extra mag and 2-stage trigger with the TAC? am I right?.. is the CTR stock that awful?

    Tikka T3X TAC A1

    forgive a beginner's question but what is the advantage of buying the TAC A1 rather than say, buying a CTR and putting it into a chassis?..

    Tikka CTR or Lite with Chassis

    question for those who've BTDT - what's the benefit of buying a CTR and then putting it in a chassis, rather than just buying TAC A1?..

    Rifle Scopes Short write up of Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15x50 and fun story.

    thanks for that. I have the Ares 2.5-15 and SWFA 3-15 and I agree with your thoughts. no experience with the Bushnell. anyway, on the Ares I've noticed the elevation turret being a little softer than the windage and not quite as good as the SWFA or a Vortex PST Gen2 2-10x32. is there...

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    got a Vortex PST GenII 2-10, I tried to turn the eyepiece focus knob and I thought it was seized. I had to grab with my full hand and twist so hard I thought I might break it but it released and has worked fine since. found out this was a common complaint...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    yeah, this is the 2x10 but I thought I saw somewhere it was being shipped with the Vortex hinged caps but this just has the covers on shock cord and no sunshade. I did get a hell of a deal though... the box was definitely opened and rummaged around in, probably a return. I don't think I'm going...
