    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    My Tac A1 came with a muzzle brake in the box, which I installed myself by just spinning it on and then tightening the top screw once it was aligned. Did you check your box to see if you have a muzzle brake too? Its not installed by default, but pretty easy to do. Not as good as some of the...

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    Its a 0 moa picatinny rail on top. One of the few things they didn't get right on this rifle, but 0 moa seems standard for full length picatinny rails common on ARs. Iv'e been thinking of getting one of the new Spuhr QD mounts with 20-30 Moa built in.

    Tikka Tac A1 has anyone removed one from chassis?

    Is it a TRG phosphate barrel? Looked just like my other Tikka factory barrels, but I can't say I compared it really closely. Is there any visible difference? I've never owned a TRG, just lusted after them :-).

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics -New floating center dot reticle

    I like the existing Athlon reticles, but wjm308's designs are really nice. That large 3 mil circle would be very useful in positional shooting when you are dialed way out and your reticle is dancing all over the place.

    Tikka Tac A1 has anyone removed one from chassis?

    I have a Tikka Tac A1 which I reviewed here (https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-bolt-action-rifles/6448410-tikka-t3x-tac-a1-first-impressions). I did take it out of the chassis, and it is a straightforward Tikka barreled action at its...

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    Great shooting. I haven't tried the 143 ELD-X in mine yet. The ELD-M shot slightly worse than the Prime ammo for me (~0.6-0.7 MoA), so I am sticking with Prime for now. So far my only complaints are with 1) 2-stage trigger and 2) high scope height above bore. Those are really just me needing to...

    PRS Talk 120 eld vs 140 eld.

    Or the 130 Norma Golden Targets. Hard to find, but they are cheaper than the 130 Hybrids, and have a slightly higher BC too. Prime uses them in their ammo, and they've been shooting great for me.

    Tikka CTR 24" results?

    I have a 24.5" Tikka T3x Tac A1. Shoots factory Prime into 0.55-0.6 groups, and Hornady 140 ELD-M a little wider. Have to test more loads. I also have a custom 6.5 Creedmoor on a Tikka action, and it shoots better, but not by much - factory Prime is usually around 0.5 for e.g. Velocity out of...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I've seen deals on dvor.com for Athlon scopes a couple of times. Usually a little better than opticsplanet pricing when it happens.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I am thinking of shooting some PRS Production Division this year, and realized that my Athlon Cronus is just above the maximum scope price - its limited to scopes with an MSRP of $2000, while the Athlon has an MSRP of $2099. I got mine for $1700, and street prices look like they are $1600 now...

    Production class

    The Tikka T3x TAC A1 is another good choice. I just shot it in a PRS match, and it did very well.

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    The trigger blade feels like its the same as regular Tikka T3xs - only the 2-stage + safety is new. I shoot factory Tikka triggers on all my guns, so the trigger blade is not a problem to me. What I am finding after a little more shooting is that the grip isn't working for me. While it feels...

    Tikka T3x TAC A1 First Impressions

    I bought a Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor last week. I've been eyeing them for a while, and one of them showed up at my local Sportsmans Warehouse and I jumped on it. Impressions so far - Gun is heavier than my other Tikkas in X-Ray/Whiskey 3 but balances great - Action is the usual Tikka...

    2000yrd SA round?

    Spin up a 30" barrel in the largest case capacity 6.5 that can work in an AI short action- 6.5 SLR/6.5 addiction/.260 AI. Then use the new Warner flatline 122 grain solid bullets with a G1 BC over .65. Lowlight could get them going at 3100 out of a 23" barrel 6.5 Creedmoor so with longer barrel...

    Speed up your powder weighing with a GemPro250

    Thats a cool looking reloading box you have there. Do you have the dimensions? I am thinking of making something similar myself.

    Range Report First time out with Hornady 6mm Creedmoor 108gr ELD

    Range Report More BC is always better ?

    The point of the article is that there is no "reasonable speed". A 300 SMK at 2163 fps will out perform a 168 at 2866 fps. Drop will be higher, but wind drift will be less. As long as you know the range exactly, drop can always be dialed. So for known distances and prone matches where recoil is...

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    I think MileHigh will sell you an AI AT with a custom .308 barrel rather than the factory 1-12. Have you checked with them ?

    Range Report More BC is always better ?

    A long while back, I read this article on the Border Barrels website. They took it down a few years ago, but I hunted it down on the wayback machine - https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20110711132007/http://www.border-barrels.com/articles/art1.htm

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    For shooting movers I generally dial a wind rather than try to hold for wind like I usually do. Gets too confusing otherwise when the target switches direction.
