    AR style stock or more "standard" stock, how to choose

    I like the feel of the pistol grip on my AR but I don't really like the slap feel plus the butt stock is by design short. I can check and see if my range has anything that I could rent and try.

    7mm Rem. Mag Weatherby Vangard, what can I do with this gun?

    Would it have to be some caliber that is long action since the 7mm RM is long action?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The Tikka t3x has several options as well. The only reason I am "iffy" on the tac 1a is I am not sure I would like the AR/chassis style stock.

    7mm Rem. Mag Weatherby Vangard, what can I do with this gun?

    I have 2 guns that I never use, a 7mm rem mag Weatherby Vangard and a Remington 700 30.06 bath are extremely accurate guns but I don't hunt anymore and hate having "stuff" I don't use. The 7mm mag is built on a Howa 1500 action from what I understand. Should I just buy a new barrel to a heavier...

    AR style stock or more "standard" stock, how to choose

    I am currently seriously looking at a Tikka T3x tac a1 which has an AR type stock. I currently have a Sako TRG22 in .308 and a Savage 12LRP in 6.5 cr. I do have an AR 15 223/556 semi. The short LOP and no Cheek rise make it difficult to compare to my Savage or LRP. I don't want to spend the...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have a TRG 22 and am a believer in Sako guns. If I wanted a Tikka 3x a1 without the AR type chassis what Tikka gun would be basically the same as the A1 but with a non-AR chassis/stock?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Thanks for the input especially from those who have had experience with both. I have a Sako TRG22 in .308 and I was afraid I would not be happy going backwards...so to speak. The action on the TRG is smooth like butta.

    Gunsmithing barrel length and accuracy???

    I would like to better undersrtand how barrel length effects accuracy? many tactical rifles have 20" barrels but both of my "long range" guns have 26" barrels. I understand that longer barrels help get the bullet spinning for more stability downrange, but what is the deciding factor when a...

    Rifle Scopes Difference in rings and mounts??

    I know this seems like a stupid question but what is the real difference in rings or mounts that cost $100 vs. those that cost $400. I have a Spuhr mount on my TRG22 and it is beautifully made but I have seen other mounts or rings that look to be made well. if the mounting system is rigid and...

    Rifle Scopes thoughts on SWFA SS

    I have a 3-15 x 42 on one of my guns. great scope. The 10x was built for a gov. contract and was used on some marine rifles according to Tibasaurus Rex. On a .22 I would go for a 10x. Frank also did a very favorable review on the 5-20HD.

I had the scope, T5xi 5-25x65, back in about 10 days. during the time they had the scope they sent me emails re: what they found. I was very happy...

    Too heavy a load???

    I have 100- .308 cartridges that I loaded several months and after doing more load testing I have decided that the powder load is too heavy. Is the best way to correct this error to pull the bullets and dump the powder and then re-charge??? If there is a better way to go about it please educate me.
