    Prime Ammo Moving Sale Exclusive

    Still haven't gotten shipping info on the 260 and 22 I ordered but I'm fine with the wait at these prices...wish I would have ordered another case of 22! Just ordered some 338 to add to my stash since it was so cheap! I was planning on having a 7-300 NM built up next but I guess I'll be going...

    Prime Ammo Moving Sale Exclusive

    Talk about some excellent customer service, I placed an order at midnight central time last night and Jim called me a few minutes later to check in and thank me for the order...unfortunately I missed his call since I was at work and didn't hear it go off but that was awesome to have him reach...

    Gunsmithing How hard can I torque down a barrel vise?

    I don't know about barrel damage, but I'd lube the threads on the studs to prevent galling. I have had some of the coating on mine come off from going too low on the torque vs too high. You shouldn't need a whole lot, just get it even and make sure the top plate doesn't bind. Not sure what...

    I've got two on order with the fine folks there. Glad to hear he thinks the supply will meet the level of demand. Was a bit worried of these turning into the next Vortex PST G2!

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Yeah, but you've got more powder and a whole lot more case not being supported by the chamber. Tikkas can take some serious abuse, I doubt there's anything wrong with it, but having a smith check it over and go through the process of checking for cracks in the metal is a whole lot cheaper than...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Man you got incredibly lucky as has already been mentioned. Happy I could help, though I was hoping I was wrong! This goes to show the strength of these actions, but you really need to have it checked over by a smith before firing it. If you've seen an action blow up and the damage it can do...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    That doesn't sound normal at all. Can you post a picture or two of the brass? New and once fired. Could it be you were accidentally given a 260 instead of a 6.5 creedmoor? The left side of the barrel by the action should be stamped with the caliber and you'll be able to see it with the help...

    Tikka CTR/TAC A1 stock and chassis options

    I've owned both. CTR is quite a bit lighter and easier to maneuver, but the Tac A1 is handy with the side folding, lockup is nice and tight on it. You can certainly drop the barreled action from the Tac A1 into the CTR stock and run it. I ended up selling my Tac A1 as we ended up liking the...

    Tikka T3x ctr VS Bergara HMR Pro

    I've had a bunch of Tikka's over the years and still have a few. They are great for sure, very accurate and smooth as silk even when extremely dirty. If you wouldn't mind a 20" barrel instead of a 24" shoot me a PM. I was getting ready to sell a T3x CTR 6.5 creed that's nearly new along with...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Have you thought about buying a Tac A1 chassis, notching it out for the bolt handle and maybe buying a take off CTR barrel? That might solve your issue, and the folding works quite well on the chassis. I've got one and feel like it's just as solid as my KRG W3 folder but you get the added...

    Tikka CTR idea

    Has anyone had a smith open up the bolt face on a Tikka? I've seen some do it on 700 bolts...I happen to have an extra 308bf action in the safe and would like to turn it into a shorty PRC for hunting...done some looking around but haven't found solid answers and figured I'd toss it out here...

    GA Precision? Can't get a hold of

    Wish I could do that...unfortunately KC is a bit out of the way from my commute of Great Bend to Wichita. I keep trying to get up there during business hours to stop by but it hasn't worked out so far...some day I'll get to stop in though! Great group of folks up there that's for sure!
