    How are lenses cleaned at the factory?

    One has to be really careful with MEK. Working with that as an ink thinner it really can eat into plastics and rubbers.

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    I completely agree. Whether the individual is to be believed or not should not be the takeaway from this discussion. It should be the expectations of the consumer for a reliable zero (what western hunter hasn't taken a spill on the mountain?), reliable tracking, and a useable mil hunting reticle.

    MDT introduces the HNT26! A 26 Ounce Carbon Fiber Hunting Chassis.

    Are there any options for butt pad height/cant adjustment?

    Hunting & Fishing Choosing the right ammo.

    We have had good experiences both with Federal Premium Trophy Copper and Barnes TTSX/LRX. We have tried the Hornady GMX but they seem to be less consistent. No experience with the Nosler E-tips.

    Hunting & Fishing New Hunting Bullets Available

    As fall hunting season approaches I am looking forward to seeing more examples of performance on game. Definitely appreciate @coldboremiracle sharing the bullets damage on the vitals (rather than pretty mushroomed bullets). On paper definitely seems like it would give additional confidence at...

    Ultra Lightweight Hunting Rifle

    If you are recoil sensitive then the ultralight will make it worse as well. You can add a couple lbs or a muzzle brake/suppressor but ultralight and shootability typically do not go together (choose one or the other). I think a good compromise would be a Tikka Lite/Superlite.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR iii, how are they doing?

    I think this is the same preconception people have with Vortex and their budget scopes versus the Razors. On paper the XTR III seems to check all of the boxes and the XTR II has a good reliability track record but people are hesitant with the price point. This is probably why Lexus and Acura...

    Where are you CA shooters getting ammo? Can you get it shipped?

    Get an FFL03 (Curio and Relics) and COE (Certificate of Eligibility). Will allow you to ship directly to your house. Not a lot of online sites want to deal with CA having your information on file but I have had luck with the following which have reasonable prices: Outdoor Limited Wholesale...

    Budget Setup For Beginner (Need Advice)

    Having 3 kids myself I fully understand time being an issue. I definitely would suggest quality factory ammo and spend more time shooting. Put the money towards a class or higher quality optic you can rely on.

    Indoor dryfire training system

    Thanks I hadn't noticed they added a hunting one. I'll have to take a look!

    Indoor dryfire training system

    Seems like it could be a good training platform for hunting as well. Would be awesome if there were a similar set of pictures/PowerPoint/videos for hunters to practice shot placement.

    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    I have a CTR and even with the larger OEM bolt handle I felt a significant improvement in perceived bolt lift with the Sterk swept ball.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I unfortunately never got comfortable with the factory CTR stock. Decided to give the KRG Bravo a shot and definitely see a huge difference in ergonomics. Can't wait to shoot it!

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor News?

    A LPVO coming with a 2" sunshade? Seems suspect.
