    Carbon or a shot out barrel?

    These photos are from my 6.5SAUM with about 350 rounds on it. The bad pictures are from an inch or two after the throat. The good picture is middle of the barrel. Is that just carbon or is that fire cracking of the steel? Should I keep trying to scrub it out or is it part of the barrel...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Long Rifles Inc in Sturgis SD did this for my factory barrel. It was a Tikka T3 lite stainless 300WSM. The problem is that those profile of barrels are too thin for there to be a shoulder behind the threads for a muzzle device to tighten up against. LRI machined a nut(which was like a thick...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Thanks bigfoot. I contacted bugholes and they only do the .223 conversion. Nothing for magnum and no plans for magnum. Where did you get your magnum setup?

    Hey man it looks like you have 5.56, 308, and a magnum bolt heads here. Are these short action bolts or ASR? I’d like to run mangum (saum or PRC) and 556 in my ATX but I’m not aware of that being possible. Let me know if I’m wrong.

    Rifle Competition Events Match Backpack Approved For Airlines

    I use a kifaru shapecharge for NRL and other field matches and it works great. I also fly with it and use it for my office commuter. I also want to try the panel loader pack of a similar size from HPG. their harness is more comfortable than kifaru and mystery ranch.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    @cannoncrossfire , you are the godfather of Tikka accessories and installing a Tikka into a AI chassis. This rifle (and your swept bolt knobs) was the inspiration for building the TAX.

    Behold the TAX (Tikka in an AX) I milled out the chassis, bedded the recoil lug into the chassis and bedded the action. I did this about a year ago. Runs well and feeds smooth.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I just got my new ATX in today. The bolt is quite surprisingly hard to close on an empty chamber. With the safety in the middle position it closes like butter. But with the safety forward it is hard enough to close that I think there is something wrong with the bolt. I took the shroud off and...

    Weight of factory Tikka TRG barrel

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Looks like the Tikka/lilja m24 26"/bravo/USO/atlas cal will be close to 17.5 lbs which is what I am after with that one. My Tikka/proof carbon/XLR element magnesium/mk5 combo will have no problem being sub 12lbs. It will be the NRL hunter/nightforce ELR hunter...

    Weight of factory Tikka TRG barrel

    I’m hoping someone has the exact weight of a factory Tikka CTR barrel they pulled off. I’m re barreling to a Lilja and want the weight to be right under 16 pounds. Lemme know, if you know. Thanks.

    mag fed 6.5saum question

    I am going to set up a 6.5saum. I will be mag feeding 153.5 Bergers from XLR mags which are 2.950 ID. Do you think I'll run into a case capacity or load compression problem to get maximum velocity? This rifle will be set up ultra light in a XLR magnesium 4.0 chassis, carbon proof barrel...

    Rifle Scopes Leica geovid 3200 experiences?

    I own a geovid 3200. Overall I am pleased with it. Furthest range I’ve gotten was on a hillside at 3500 yards. The glass is excellent, but I haven’t had a pair of swaros in my hand to compare it to. I’ve since learned that all the LRF binos from the best 3 companies have seriously degraded glass...

    KRG Bravo Pic Thread

    Hey rock dock that’s a great project. I have an M24 contour barrel coming for my Tikka/bravo. Did this 1.5 lbs end up balancing the rifle to the middle or is it still heavy too far forward?
