    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I'm seeing conflicting info on mag compatibility. Does it take vudoo mags or not?

    Bighorn Arms is Changing to Zermatt Arms

    Over under on how many years it takes for most to call it a Zerhmatt action instead of a Bighorn? I don't see the logic on this branding decision. I've been a part of orgnaizations that re-branded a couple different ways. Some for the worse and some for the better. No dog in the fight and no...

    Tikka T1X

    https://triadtactical.com/triad-stock-pad/ Triad Tactical. (Link above) Feels pretty good actually. I like the design. It was really slippery on the plastic stock at first as far as moving around. I made a couple wraps of camo form below it and that helped a ton.

    Tikka T1X

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9bpeeP7WFgFR1hqM1NtZV9IN3c Target was on the 6x5 thread here. There was another one on there I liked a little better but couldn't get the link to work. That link should work for this one. I'm curious as it warms up how the consistency compares.

    What's -40* feel like?

    Definitely not uncommon in northern MN and ND. Big thing on the farm was keeping water not freezing up for cattle. Doing construction in those temps sucks too. First hour or more of the day was getting all the equipment started. Air compressors and hoses are constantly froze. If it's not a...

    Tikka T1X

    Finally got a chance to get this thing out to get ready for NRL22 base class. Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24 scope, Area 419 15 MOA rail, Triad Tactical thing and magpul bipod. 19 degrees, about 3 mph wind left to right. Overall fairly promising on groups at 50 yards. Lapua and Federal...

    Rifle Scopes Advice on picking out Vortex glass on a new build

    Diamondback Tactical 4-16 with EBC=2c in that price range. Seems like Diamondbacks have more quality issues than other models of vortex scopes though. But maybe you'll get a good one.

    Borka EFK2 vs. FixIt Sticks

    What I REALLY like about the fix-it-sticks is I can poka-yoka (manufacturing term) what torques go where. Instead of guessing if I put 18 or 20 or 25 ft-lbs on a certain set of scope rings months later, everything is at 20 now and that is the only torque limiter in that range I have.

    What is standard deviation?

    Based on a Gaussian distribution, +/-1 Standard Deviation statistically represents 64% of typical outcomes around the mean. +/- 2 standard deviations is 95% , +/- 3 standard deviations is 99.7%. I think what Secant said is important on sample size. In shooting it's basically used to...

    Barrel constriction in cold weather?

    Im going to say not enough of a thing to worry about. Physics tells us it would shrink some, but not gonna notice it. Power burn rate is what is going to cause the biggest shift in POI.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Has anybody threaded a 22-250 barrel on one of these? Curious about feeding in the AW mags if it needs a spacer. Thinking of the ultimate prairie dog rig.

    PRS Talk Can we stop shooting offhand in PRS?

    I've also been practicing offhand shots since this thread started.

    PRS Talk Can we stop shooting offhand in PRS?

    Again, not opposed to off-hand stages and I don't think I'm advocating for full-size targets at 3 dick lengths either. Not sure if you made it to the end of the second line of the post but the stage followed with smaller targets at distance. That stage for example incorporated an offhand shot...

    Preferred target shape for shooting groups?

    I like these little guys. Stick them on a piece of printer paper as required. The small black diamond in the center is a nice aiming point. Either these or the solid black circles.

    What and how do you take to the range?

    Lately, strategy is putting the essentials plus in a hard or soft case like this. Specific to each rig. For a quick trip Ill grab this only. (Added a cutout for ear pro and a data book). Secondarily, I have a cheapo plano fishing box thing with targets, tools, cleaning stuff, chronograph...

    Concentricity gauge?!

    Sinclair one from brownells works for me. I do think one with a wheel would be slick. But for as little as I actually use it now it's fine.

    Got out the other day to stretch the legs on the Atips. Love everything about this wonder-rifle. Theres a possibility in coming years I do a 6BR variant (thinking 6BRA). My grand idea is to fireform in the spring shooting prairie dogs then 6bra in the summer matches. Seems like some have...
