    Tikka CTR feeding in Manners stock

    I actually had this exact same issue when my CTR was new. Mag was popping the bullet end of the round high and the bolt wouldn't catch the back of the case on the way forward. I think essentially the issue is related to how long the rounds are - they barely fit in the CTR mag and when the...

    Howa mini 223 vs Ruger American Ranch 223 - NV hunting gun

    That's the problem with Howa and Tikka - neither offers a rifle in the configuration I'm looking for, which is basically exactly the ruger american ranch gen 2.

    Tikka CTR feeding in Manners stock

    Running into feeding issues with my T3x CTR 6.5 CM in a Manners T5A that's inlet for the CTR bottom metal. Mag is fairly loose even with bolt closed. Action screws are at 60 in-lbs. I've disassembled and reassembled a bunch of times trying to figure it out. I don't have the factory stock to...

    Howa mini 223 vs Ruger American Ranch 223 - NV hunting gun

    Thanks for the info. I can't seem to find the Howa in a short barrel. What I really want is a Howa or Tikka action in a Ruger American Ranch gen 2 configuration....suppose I can wish in one hand and carp in the other and see which fills up first...

    Optics Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24X50 EBR-24 MOA

    Shipping was fine - I was just asking if you could ship quickly. Nobody in their right mind would buy without using PP G&S. Ginormous red flag Either way, I just needed a response to determine how I was going to move forward.

    I had told him I’d take it and then he went radio silent.

    Howa mini 223 vs Ruger American Ranch 223 - NV hunting gun

    I hear the trigger is really bad - is it actually that bad or is it just not as nice as tikka and timney?

    Howa mini 223 vs Ruger American Ranch 223 - NV hunting gun

    I've grown spoiled to the Tikka action and trigger, but this rig is on a budget and the two I'm considering are the Howa mini 223 and Ruger american ranch gen 2 in 223. I would prefer not to have to make any upgrades after the fact. So in factory form, considering accuracy, trigger, action...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 4-20 ATACR vs 5-25 ATACR

    I'm saying the 5-25 goes to 25x and the difference in glass is overcome by the difference in magnification.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 4-20 ATACR vs 5-25 ATACR

    Of those 2, the 5-25 if you’re shooting at distance very often. The 7-35 is the same size and considerably better if you’re above 10x

    Looking for budget friendly glass

    If you're brand new to bolt action guns, don't go get a custom action with a custom barrel and aftermarket stock. Start with a factory gun, figure out what you like and don't like, and then you can move your nice glass over to a new rifle down the road, if you even decide you need that. Tikka...

    Looking for budget friendly glass

    I'd much, much, much rather have a Tikka rifle and a $1500 scope than a custom rifle and 300-600 dollar scope

    Night Vision $3k thermal weapon sight

    Just picked up a Bering Hogster A3 (gen 2) for just over $2k. I think it will be hard to beat at that price point.

    SOLD Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56 MRAD

    This is my favorite sub-$2.5k scope. Can't believe it's not gone for this price. Way too cheap.

    Tikka T3 223 barrel heat?

    I have a CTR in 6.5CM, which I've had for maybe 5-6 years now and absolutely love it. I get 9-10 shots before barrel heats up. I'm 1000+ rounds into the barrel and it's still crazy accurate. I am looking at a 223 T3 lite as a starter gun for my son and something I can shoot at prairie dogs...
