    EGW base for Tikka's

    Bought a hunter model a while ago and my base from EGW came in but I bought the light weight version that doesn't have a pin. I read a post the other day that mentioned that the pinned base is better. I can see where it "may" be better but has anyone had issues with the EGW light weight bases...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    Does the TRG have more room than the factory polymer or the AI mags? Also curious if the receiver was opened up.

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    Well I finally settled and bought a rifle that is different in what I had originally planned to buy. I picked a Tikka T3 hunter in 30'06, didn't go with a stainless even though I was pretty close in getting a Remmy 700 SF. The SF was stainless, fluted and came in a wood stock that I decided I...

    Recommend a Tikka T3

    I was curious also of the CTR so I called like others have and the gentleman that I spoke to said it would be stateside 2nd or 3rd quarter. Don't know if it will but it seems like its a crapshoot when you call.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Opening Day

    The spike is what they call "piebald", seen one in the wild. They are rare and usually get picked off due to their color.

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    I have been looking over my options everyday and keep coming back to a SPS stainless in 300WM then swapping to medalist stock. If I was getting a 30'06 I might get the mountain option. I'm going on a plains game safari the last couple of days of September into the first-second week of October...

    Tikka's recoil lug

    Can someone explain to me how the recoil lug work on Tikka's since the lug is not part of the barreled action. I'm stuck between a T3 lite and a Remington SPS both in stainless for a hunting rig, I did plan on buying a B&C medalist for either one. From what I've read the recoil lug is in the...

    Deadshot2, I have a varmint 700 waiting for a build but don't want to lug a heavy barrel around for hunting. Thanks for the idea though.

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    I was looking at a Remington 700 in stainless steel, I will check Remington's site to see if they offer the stainless with a B&C stock. If not I will start a new thread for the right/possible B&C stock to replace the factory. I also did check out the Tikka lite at bass pro and it was smooth...

    Hunting & Fishing Do I really need a .300 Win Mag or will .30-06 be fine?

    Great thread as I'm having the same problem in picking between the two for an upcoming plains game safari in RSA. No dangerous game just medium to large antelope. What I've noticed when these two are compared is that it is usually split down the middle with more age/experience leaning toward...

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    The B&C II and Ti both say ''This stock is constructed of Bell and Carlson's proprietary composite material wrapped around a modified aluminum bedding block. The bedding block has integrated reinforcement that extends into the wrist of the stock and the two action bedding pillars" per midway's sight

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    It's the standard plastic stock on the SPS line not the varmint model. The rifle won't be used for extreme long range precision but for hunting ranges not exceeding 350-400 yards, more than likely closer. It will be either a 30'06 or 300 WM in stainless, I like the blued/wood look on the CDL...

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    Don't know if this belongs in the bolt action forum or not but how bad are the stocks that come on the Remington SPS line. Looking to purchase a SS 700 and was curious of what I can expect with the factory stock. Just looking for a rifle for an upcoming trip and since I live in Ohio I don't...
