    Ahh, it's now actually an option on their order page for the EH-1.

    Manners cheek piece service.

    Is that the same thing they use on the mcs-cs?

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    If that's what you are thinking I say go for it. If you are anything like me a lot of "well it doesn't do X or Y perfectly" can be countered by the thought of "but I got a great deal for it". If down the line you need to build another rifle that better suits your evolving needs, that will just...

    How do you install a Proof Savage prefit?

    Proof has an instruction video of how to swap the barrel for their TL3 actioned Switch Rifle:

    Has there been any user reports on the carbon 6 barrels and dealing with carbon 6 in general? I couldn't find anything last time I looked.

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    If you buy the parts new online, and go for an in stock prefit barrel and a bighorn action, wouldn't you in theory have all the parts on your door step in about a month?

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    From what I understand, the action is more of a standardization and manufacturing tolerance issue. The reason the TL3 is set up for barrel swaps is that it's thread diameter is the same as for Savage pre-fit barrels, which are widely available. The tolerances on the TL3 are good enough that you...

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    I'm really interested now. Would be really cool to have one gun covering 6.5, .308 and 300 wm. That extra $500 for TL3 and sundry would be worth it.

    Looks like a couple of guys asked about your q2 on the Hide and the long range hunting website a while back: https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/short-action-rounds-in-a-long-action.196619/...

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    I think the key cost driver for you here is the decision to go 300 win mag. That mandates a TL3 vs a Origin and slightly more cost on the other components. If you go short action instead you could come in just at $2K or lower: KRG Bravo: $350 Triggertech Special: $185 Magazine: $35-$80...

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    BTW I was looking into the krg bravo chassis because it's one of the best lightweight low cost chassis around with adjustable ergo. If you actually want more weight and your options for chassis or stock open up considerably. Eg: https://mdttac.com/us_en/lss-xl-gen2-chassis-system.html...

    I think better let other people with experience speak to savage vs tikka. For the proof rifle, the bighorn tl3 is the exact action they use on the switch.

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    If you are set on 300 win mag you might be able to buy a Tikka in 300 win Mag, swap out for a KRG chassis or some other chassis of your choice, and have enough left over to do a pre-fit barrel from a place like below, or PVA. https://www.solidaccuracy.com/product/current-inventory/? Also there...

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    I've been looking at something similar lately. In theory, for a 6.5 creedmoore build, you could go: Bighorn Origin KRG Bravo Trigger Tech Special Barrel Nut Criterion Savage pre-fit barrel For under $2K before tax, not counting tools like go no-go gauges and action wrench. The only thing that...

    Tikka CTR vs Superlite (Practice/Volume Gun & Hunting Rifle)

    How did you pry off the rail? I've heard people working on it with a heating iron to loosen the thread lock?

    Tikka CTR vs Superlite (Practice/Volume Gun & Hunting Rifle)

    I'm also interested in this question. If I get a tikka superlite, how many shots can I string together before I have to back off and let the barrel cool? Do I get to do a lot more with the ctr?
