    Tuner question for guys with 1.2” or heavier straight contour barrels.

    would love to hear how it shoots without it. Any chance you can get your buddy to test it out for us? I have been thinking about going DI route, but question if the tuner is really needed to achieve the kind of precision we are after. It would be nice to see some groups with and without the...

    Pros and Cons of these two options

    I have a Tikka 223. I think I will stick with Tikka for now. Would love a CDG, prefit, chassis, etc. but I don't shoot enough to put that much in the gun. You guys basically reinforced what I knew deep down....Tikka = Better. I'm pretty sure Tikka CTR will give me the kind of accuracy I want...

    Pros and Cons of these two options

    Option 1: Tikka CTR 6.5 CM in chassis, keep barrel- Cheapest would be around $1700 (oryx chassis or X-ray for a little more money) Option 2: Howa 1500 6.5 CM, in the same chassis as Tikka. This is much cheaper, about $900. Assuming in this configuration I'm not happy with the barrel, lots of...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Thanks. I suspect a little while means a long while. Given there is a 4 months delay in getting the action. I was going to do a 6.5 on this action, but I may just do a "budget" long range rifle and eventually upgraded the barrel.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    ARC- when do you expect to offer barrelled actions and whose barrels do you expect to be using?

    Your PVA prefit experience

    My tikka isn't threaded, so can't put anything on it. If it was threaded, I'd explore the tuner option you mentioned or the EC tuner brake. Local gunsmith wasn't close to $200 to thread the barrel.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Does anyone with the PVA barrels shoot factory ammo? Trying to see how they perform with match factory ammo. I have never shot any group bigger than .75 (often smaller) with my tikka using factory match ammo. Would I see a significant improvement going with a PVA? If most of the benefit of the...

    Preferred barrels

    thanks. They did not included the T3x in the list of actions they make prefits for. Several other Tikka actions on there though.

    Ruger American 22lr rifle suggestion

    I would go savage over Ruger also. Just read too many negatives on Ruger. I know too many people with Savage guns and they shoot well enough for the most.

    Preferred barrels

    Looking to upgrade a T3x. I was looking at my barrel options. Seems like preferred barrels has good stuff. One option was threading, which which I want for a suppressor. Looks like they only offer class 2A threading. Competitor barrel makers offer 3A. Is 2A acceptable for suppressors? Assume it...

    Gunsmithing Viper barrel vise or bench vise with inserts??

    Are you using shouldered prefit or nut prefit? Which barrels are you going with? I like the idea of shouldered but not sure anyone makes it for the tikka. Usually they are made for the custom actions with tighter tolerances.

    Gunsmithing Viper barrel vise or bench vise with inserts??

    What's the biggest diameter barrel you can use with the viper? If I want to install heavy varmint barrels, will I be able to? I think most barrels are around 1.250 right at the action side...not sure though.

    AR Dedicated.22LR and accuracy?

    I don't look at my AR22 build as something to put up tiny groups. I have other guns for that. It's a plinker for me and it meets that need. That said, my Beyer barrel is pretty good. I have not tested it at 50 yards since I only have a crappy 6x scope on the gun. At 25 yards, one hole groups...

    Having a barrel threaded for a suppressor.

    Have heard of threading causing the barrel to "bell" out as others have pointed too. But also read that if there is enough meat on the barrel, i.e. really thick barrel, the belling is going to minimized. For me the benefit of shooting suppressed outweighs the potential loss in accuracy (within...

    Custom DI Precision Vudoo rifles

    There has been alot of testing out there at 200 yards that shows ammo to be the limiting factor. Are you consistently getting sub moa at 200?
