    Mercury recoil reducer

    I installed a mercury recoil reducer on a 450 Ackley hunting rifle, but dont feel like it did anything to the recoil that I couldn't have achieved with a dead weight of the equivalent weight. If I want to reduce recoil, I use a brake or else I dont bother.

    Rifle Scopes Why are there no Leupold guys in the PRS world?

    Dominant incumbent not wanting to recognise market change while they keep milking what they have always done? Think IBM not wanting to change their business model as technology changed - just one example. Its often an new entrant that innovates, as there is often no obvious reason (to the...

    Member Link Up WTB - Logo design

    Tikka Bolt Handle

    My son has an AI style Sterk on 2 of his Tikkas and loves them. He prefers them by a significant margin over any of the others that we have on our Tikka rifles.

    Gunsmithing Removing brake

    I was hoping I would be able to use wooden blocks with a relief for the barrel in a vice, then just use the flats on the brake to turn it off. But that was when I was thinking it would come free easily.

    Gunsmithing Removing brake

    I just bought a Tikka CTR that is fitted with a Badger brake with a washer between the brake and the barrel shoulder (no pinch screw on the brake). I had assumed it would be a relatively simple process to unscrew the brake, but that bitch is on tight. I haven't encountered this particular...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I believe its a Wild Dog Composites stock. The stocks themselves were well regarded, but the manufacturers delivery, not so much. I believe the stock production folded some years ago and the stocks are unobtanium now.

    6.5x55 Swede SE....true sub quarter minute rifle

    Those 6.5x55s do tend to shoot. Can you let us know how the brass holds up after multiple shootings? I will be interested to know how often you need to trim cases with that set up.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a reticle like this, but not an IOR

    My son and I both shot a rifle with an IOR scope recently and we both liked the reticle a lot. I would really like something like this in a scope thats not an IOR. Is there anything out there that would fit the bill? It has a floating dot in the center, then a Christmas tree in the lower section...

    Help with AB truing

    Thanks. I think came up with something just over a mil when I did some calculations. I know its not ideal, but I figured working with what I had was better than leaving it untrued.

    Help with AB truing

    I have an Accurate Ballistics truing question that I am hoping someone can help with. I put together a new 6XC / Berger 105gn load on the weekend. I zeroed my scope at 100 yards, chronographed the load, then entered the details into AB. I wanted to verify the results, and 300 yards was the...

    Case life of Norma 6XC brass?

    I was just reading the document on Tubb's website where they mention that the case head on the Norma brass is extra hard for improved case life. Can anyone comment on whether they have found this to be the case in actual practice over multiple firings? I have 200 Norma cases, but only have very...
