    Mother's Day Flowers

    My wife doesn’t want flowers for mother’s day, she wants a purebred puppy. I calmly explained that for that price we could get an Accuracy International. The look she gave me was quite dirty, and not in the good way.

    Rifle Scopes AADMOUNT Flip Up Scope Caps

    Just ordered my first pair of caps from them based on reviews here, guess I'll have to wait awhile before I get them. Looking forward to not having to put up with the finicky ones that came with the scope. Any thoughts on their throw levers for a S&B PM II?

    San FranScumCo... Congressman has called for the kidnapping and execution of Gun Owners.

    Why doesn't anyone ask these people a simple question: How many Americans are you willing to murder over this issue? Basically how many lives are worth taking to get what you want and take away the guns? More than a few people over the years have suggested police enter people's homes to...

    Magpul Bipod

    Website says "Coming summer 2018" but seems strange they don't have a place to sign up for email notifications when it is available. https://www.magpul.com/products/magpul-bipod-for-m-lok-1913-picatinny-rail-a-r-m-s-17s I hope they have one at their booth in Dallas this weekend.

    new rifle help please

    I was hoping it was a little easier but Thunder Beast says a .30 suppressor won’t work on a Scar 16, and it might work on a Scar 17 but you need an adapter from another company. They couldn’t tell me if it would work on an IWI x95 or not. So I can get an Ultra 6.5 9” or 7” for my Tac A1, but...

    Thanks, I guess I am trying to see if what I buy for the Tac A1 in 6.5cm could also be used on the 223/556 Scar 16s and IWI x95. Those have pretty thin barrels.

    Thanks, I am pretty confused now. Emailed Thunderbeast and they sent me some links about have gunsmithing done and barrel widths, which I don't understand. I was thinking I just needed the suppressor and some brakes, but I guess that is not how it works. So since I have no experience with...

    Just ordered my NFA trust, thanks for all the help. Any suggestions on where to purchase a Thunderbeast Ultra? I don't know if there are preferred places to buy from, or it doesn't matter. Should I go for the 9 or the 7?

    new rifle help please

    Thanks a lot spife7980 and hollowoutadime, I really appreciate the help. So I could get the Ultra 7 in .30 to use with the 6.5cm, but I could also use it on a Scar 17 and Scar 16, assuming I am shooting for accuracy not speed with the Scars?

    new rifle help please

    Yes, I should definitely get a suppressor, but that is one subject I haven’t even started to research. Didn’t want to make a mistake in what I ordered then wait for a year to be able to use it. Is there one that I could use for the Tikka 6.5cm that I could also use on my .223/5.56 carbines, or...

    new rifle help please

    Another noob question, if I may. I just got a Tikka T3x Tac A1 in 6.5cm, and I put the brake on it that came in the box. How much louder, approximately, did I make it for those around me? I am just learning precision shooting, so I am not sure if you guys would recommend leaving it on or taking...

    Sorry, should have posted that. Top left was Stellier & Bellot FMJ 140gr, cheapest stuff I could find. Top right was Federal non typical whitetail 140gr, also pretty cheap. Bottom 4 are all the expensive Hornady Match ELD 140gr.

    Wow, I am a noob, but this rifle and scope are just plain great. Second time shooting it, trying to work out the kinks and I shot 1/2" to 3/4" five shot groups at 100 yards, even with cheap ammo. Thanks again for all the help, even though you have helped get me addicted ;).

    new rifle help please

    Received everything, shot it once trying to figure things out. Bottom line is, this rifle and scope are great, at least for me. Quick question, should I get a monopod for the buttstock? They seem really expensive, $100 or so, for just a little thing, but it does seem pretty convenient when...

    Just to recap, here is what I have ordered: ---Tikka T3x TAC A1 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Rifle https://www.eurooptic.com/Tikka-T3x-TAC-A1-65-Creedmoor-24-.aspx ---Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25x56 L/P DT P4 Fine FFP MRAD https://www.eurooptic.com/schmidt-bender-pmii-5-25x56-l-p-p4-fine-mrad-dt-ccw.aspx...

    Is there any consensus on the most accurate/consistent factory ammo in 6.5 Creedmoor? Or do you just have to try some and see which one your rifle likes? I ordered the Hornady match ELD in 140 and 147, but they were out of the A-Max 140. Any suggestions on other ammo I should try? Thanks

    new rifle help please

    Ok, looking to order a new cleaning rod from BoreTech, seems like their blue handle one that is listed as .243 is the right one for 6.5cm. Anyone know the right length rod for the Tikka T3x TAC A1? I know it has a 24" barrel, so I am guessing the 36" or the 40". I would prefer to go with the...

    new rifle help please

    I can’t say enough about how great everyone here is, this information is really helpful to me :). I ordered a little of the cheap ammo just to see how it does, and the rest was the 140 and 147 Hornady Match to see how each one does. Just promise me no one will tell my wife that it costs $1.15...

    Thanks for the help everyone. I have not heard of PVA, will have to look into it for next time. Just worked with Derek at Euro Optic, he was very helpful, got the Tikka Tac A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor, the S&B PMii 5-25x56 L/P DT P4 fine mrad ccw, ERA-TAC one piece mount 20moa 1.44" high, and since I...

    new rifle help please

    Two more questions if I may. Suggestions for a scope mount, one piece, that would work with these scopes and the Tikka Tac A1? I know it is a 0 moa rifle, so I am guessing I need the right scope mount. Also, any suggestions for a good bipod for this setup? Thanks
