    6.5 CM Purchase Help

    I've run it for about half this year. I wanted the Sterk swept bolt handle since I've grown accustomed to it with the AI. I have the Seekins low .82" on a 50mm bell optic and it gives me about a 1/4" space between the optic and barrel. Honestly, that may be a bit too low for me physically. I'd...

    Rifle Scopes Help Tikka and Spuhr mount

    Excellent feedback from diver. As an aside though, the adjustable cheek piece on every stock always seems to be perfectly in line with the bolt preventing me from removing it without removing the cheekpiece or having a folder.

    6.5 CM Purchase Help

    I feel I made a very educated purchase of the Tikka T3X CTR for about $30 more. Well done, and time to accessorize.

    6.5 CM Purchase Help

    Save your money for ammunition... just get the Tikka CTR and start shooting. Fundamentals practice and training will benefit you much more than sinking $$ into another stock or a different barrel. Add a muzzle device, scope, and go take a class. My Tikka with an old Mk4 Leupy ran with a full $7k...

    Looking for advice on .300 WM

    Best group my instructor could get out of his HMR was .8" after sending it back because it wouldn't group below 1". He sold it. Hell... to work through your options, you can put some 300wm rounds through my AXMC and my R700 5r in a Cadex chassis in Peoria. After an afternoon with the AI, the...

    Hunting & Fishing Anyone hunt with bags?

    Bumping this back up to get some additional feedback on the gamechanger for hunting. Conceptually speaking, it sounds great... but it just seems so damn big.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I blamed everyone in this thread for my moment of weakness, and Euro Optic specifically for the enablement. My new AXMC 300WM in Elite Sand. Didn't even get everything all set up before playing with it.

    Tikka CTR owners upgrades and ammo questions

    Agreed...way better. His Predator used those silly rotary mags versus the AICS pattern.

    Tikka CTR owners upgrades and ammo questions

    Forgot to mention for perspective, the guy next to me was shooting a Ruger Predator with the Hornday American Gunner 140s at the same distances at 1/2" moa as well. You don't have to break the bank to play this game.

    Tikka CTR owners upgrades and ammo questions

    I own the same rifle. Elay spring, Sterk bolt, Murphy Precision 20moa base, Area 419 brake, and XLR Envy chassis. Ran it for two straight 8 hour days in a precision shooting class without a hiccup. I was printing 1/2" groups the entire time with the Hornady ELDX match 140s. 20 moa on the base...

    Suppressors 338 rifle suppressor combos

    I'm in the same situation. Does anyone have any positives or negatives to say about Silencerco's big bore offering? From a pricing perspective, TBAC is very proud of their 338 Ultra.

    Hunting & Fishing Considering a gutting hook or a knife with one. What are you using effectively.

    They have a number of blade options... blunt tip, standard, and a fillet just off the top of my head. All of them are thin and very flexible.

    Training Courses Arizona classes in 2019?

    Frankly, I neglected to give you guys adequate consideration because I could never work out the travel time for the multiday sessions. Didn't realize you have RV spots... I'll reach out to potentially arrange something.

    Training Courses Arizona classes in 2019?

    For how many ranges are around and acres of state owned land all over the place, their really isn't too many rifle classes to speak of. I've found one good provider, the 3-4 others have all flaked out or been otherwise non-responsive. Anyone have any insight to trainings in 2019?

    Solution to a slow Tikka barrel

    It is a head scratcher... I'm at 2563 out of my factory CTR 6.5CM with the factory Hornady 140s ELDs.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    JT is on the money. I was getting .75 MOA average across a string of 10 x 3 shot groups with the factory stock. After changing to the XLR chassis, the last long range training class I took resulted in printing .5 MOA average groups across a similar string. The reality is a .25 MOA improvement...

    Rifle painting, advice welcome!

    Krylon's base plastic primer is great for adhesion after roughing the surface and degreasing. I like their textured paints for basecoat after adding devcon where I want a bit more bite. The I hit it with the sponges for your camo blotches and several matte clear sprays to keep thing where they...
