    Bell & Carlson Remington 700 Target/ Comp Stock Any Good?

    I have this stock with a Tikka T3x CTR inlet and I like it quite a bit, for the money. One small modification I made to it was replacing the 1/4-20 SHCS that clamps down the adjustable comb. I made a spacer and knurled thumbscrew so I could do tool-less removal to get the bolt out. Bob

    IFAK's - Kit List and Information

    When I was in High School, I took the EMT course through my community college. It was all day on Saturdays for a semester and then went to take the state exam at the end. It was really good training. It actually ended up landing me a job as an EMT with an ambulance company straight out of school...

    Looking for a good first aid/trauma bag

    Thanks for all the recommendations guys. I dumped out all my old duffel bags and foot locker today to see if I had anything to get me started on this project. Scored six good field dressings, two of the Israeli combat trauma dressings, a couple cravats, a couple rolls of sterile gauze and a CAT...

    Looking for a good first aid/trauma bag

    Wasn't really sure where to put this so, Mod's feel free to move it if necessary. I'm looking for a complete first aid bag for my truck. I have a Ram 2500 with the in-floor storage and would like it to fit down in one of those compartments. Looking for something along the lines of a U. S. Army...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    Entertaining reading back through this thread! I ended up buying a Tikka T3x CTR in 6.5CM. Have about 300 rounds through it and couldn't be happier. Shoots 1/2moa all day with Hornady 140gr ELD-M factory ammo. Just starting load development on it since the custom knife market died with the...

    Wine Thread

    I like this cellar. Single bottle depth? Is this a custom unit? Who builds it? Bob

    Gunsmithing Getting factory barrel off Tikka T3x lite

    I just clamped it to one of my workbenches with a pair of large C-clamps. Clamping it at the corner of the bench allowed me to bring one C-clamp from behind and keep it out of the way of the wrench. I think I'm going to Cerakote my vise. Bob

    Gunsmithing Getting factory barrel off Tikka T3x lite

    My Wally Cooper barrel vise arrived today. Had to open up the notch on one of the bushings just a tad and then it locked down tight. Took about four good blows on the wrench with a five pound dead blow hammer and it broke loose. Thanks everyone! Bob

    Firearms WTB - Glock 19, Gen4, full FDE

    Specifically looking for the factory stock, Gen 4, full FDE (frame & slide), G19 in new or near new condition. I can do F2F in the DFW area or you would need to be willing to ship to my FFL. Shoot me a message if you can hook a brother up. Bob

    Gunsmithing Getting factory barrel off Tikka T3x lite

    I ordered one of these today. Would have liked to make it myself but, with all the shutdowns and social distancing, I didn't think going to my steel suppliers would be a good idea. I have plenty of aluminum bar on hand so, if need be, I can turn a custom bushing. Bob

    Gunsmithing Getting factory barrel off Tikka T3x lite

    Yeah...trying to keep the unfired barrel in good shape so I can recoup some cost on this project. That sounds like a good system. I always try to use the "least time invested" system first but, I can see where I may end up doing something like this. Bob

    Gunsmithing Getting factory barrel off Tikka T3x lite

    Probably have a few more weeks to wait on my X-caliber barrel but, I really want to get the factory barrel off the action while I have some spare time. I tried making some blocks out of oak and clamping with rosin in both my bench vise and in my shop press and putting a 31mm wrench on the...

    Tikka CTR or Varmint?

    If they would still import the varmint in .308, I would buy one and put it in a KRG Bravo for CTR mags. I'm not a huge fan of .308 these days but, I still like the idea of keeping something in the safe than can shoot cheap military surplus ammo. Bob

    First precision rifle

    I also highly recommend the Tikka T3x CTR. My 6.5 Creedmoor shot right at 1/2moa at 100yd out of the box with Hornady American Gunner 140gr. I've seen some nice groups from the .308win models as well. You will not get a CTR and a Vortex Razor for under $2k even if both are used. One of the best...

    If you go to the Tikka prefit ordering form at PBB, you have an option now for variable shoulder or fixed shoulder. Bob

    Who's got time and experience behind a RPR in 338L

    I'm subscribing to this thread because I'm half-assed interested in the 338LM RPR for no other reason than, I think they are cool. I hope you'll update with your experiences. Bob
