    Rimfire WTB Tikka T1x 22 (found one)

    Looking for a T1 22lr, thought I’d check here before I order a new one. Needs to be in stock form, lightly used and in good shape, fairly priced. I have a few things I’d trade as well New members with no posts need not apply, I will ignore PMs if I’ve never heard of you

    Help a platform near virgin.

    I was going to say take a look at an RRA predator pursuit upper, they were on sale a while back for $500. Just checked, and it looks like the recent panic may have AR parts back at full retail everywhere I had a 20” RRA PP, it was the best shooting upper I’ve owned. That said Id look at white...

    Gunsmithing Tikka prefit headspace issue?

    I didn’t realize over torquing a barrel would stretch headspace either. Good info here, thanks Praeger

    Hunting & Fishing Building a pond?

    I do rural land improvement work for a living. My AO is Texas, which is probably not anything like Michigan, but heres what I’d tell a friend or potential customer down here. The ideal and most cost effective small pond site is one that includes adequate runoff to keep it mostly full in all but...

    Lilja versus bartlein barrels

    I had a similar experience with a 6.5G barrel from Lilja. Won’t buy another, not so much because the barrel had issues but because of the way they handled it.

    Advice for short-barreled threaded 6.5 creedmoor for hunting suppressed

    I have a few chopped tikkas, a ctr in 6.5cm at 18”, a 243 at 18” and a 223 at 16.5”. A lite or ctr chopped to your desired length will make a great hunting rifle, with or with an upgraded stock. if you feel like 20” plus can is too long for a hunting rifle (I tend to as well), you can always...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Like that setup. When did you purchase the Terrain? Grayboe said they’d be available again for Tikkas soon months ago but every time I’ve checked their site it looks like terrains only for Rem 700.

    Tikka UPR - thoughts

    Tikka t3x stocks aren’t garbage, they are cheap functional plastic stocks. Every tikka I’ve owned (dozen or so) has shot well in the factory handle. For hunting or casual use no need to change the stock other than for aesthetics or personal preference. I don’t love plastic stocks, but popular...

    Hunting & Fishing Y’all talk me out of a 22-250

    I like a 22-250, don’t have one at the moment but need to snag another. My last had a 10 twist shilen barrel, it shot 65 grain sierra GKs well. Good for coyotes and a few pigs.. Personally, for coyotes up to deer and 90-100gr bullets I like a 243 or more likely nowadays a 6cm. if I was putting...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting over dead pile

    They‘ll probably be on the dead pigs the first night. Problem Ive had with baiting coyotes is it’s difficult to sneak up on them without being detected. I’d think setting up your pile where you can approach from an elevated position or from cover down wind would be best.

    Tikka T3X CTR 308 New

    Don’t think so, looks like he’d swapped to an aftermarket rail. The factory rails are stainless and don’t hang over the front of the receiver

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Yes, it’s part of the bedding block. I’ve had one of these stocks that fit well as I received it and a couple that didn’t. Bedding straightened one out, it shot very well after. I think I returned the other one. That tan with black web looks good with your rifle
