Different here in Scandinavia.. Sauer 200 STR or Scandinavian Target Rifle is the only rifle for 2-300.000 competiton shooters, and plenty of them have multiple rifles. New barrels in the Mail within a week.. and never run out of spare parts… not that its needed. New Sauer 200 STR with sights...

New Sauer 200 STR mag cost 59,73€ Or $64,91

Found this video user Ekaas 91 on YouTube. Shows a bottom metal from a Swedish gunsmith, using Sauer 200 STR / SSG 3000 magazines. 6,5x55 or 308. Only 5 round, but I belive he is also have a +2 extender on end of magazine. Single row feeding. Maybe not so common in US, but Millions upon...

Heard rumors that McMillan is considering inletting the A-4 stock for the Tikka T3x Line of actions. Which is a good thing since it has nearly 1’’ longer grip length compared to A-3 and, 5/16’’ longer then A-5. Anybody with big hands or who does a lot of Shooting in cold conditions with gloves...

Could anybody measure front of chassis? Thickness of material, and inside height. Wondering if there is enough material to drill through and attach a spigot in front for bipod. Think Versapod style spigot.

Yes. But they went from M40A3/5 with 25’’ to M40A6/7 with 20’’. The XM-3 was dead at arrival it seems. Its 18.5’’ barrel showed it had lethality at some range.. But they wanted a more compact (folding buttstock) rifle and accepted a 20’’ barrel as sufficient for the ranges their snipers...

I might have skipped over this history, but why did USMC go from a 25’’ to 20’’ barrel? What was their explanation ? Do they now feel like short barrel and long suppressor is better/easier to use in field?

I have two Thumbhole stocks that are very comfortable… but they have a lower comb then I like. So I need a stockpad. Any suggestions for stockpads that would work for a non regular stock?

You push it down, an you can open bolt and extract cartridge, while trigger is still on safe. Like Sako 75/85/90 rifles.

The new Ceracoated? Hmm, if not I am mistaken! I thought all their two stage triggers had that button.

SuperVarmimt and Tac1 and Artic all come with two stage triggers, with button to unload while on safe. You can also buy this trigger on its own. Or you can screw in Sako TRG trigger. Since its basically a TRG lite action.

Anybody have photos of the buttstock with the rear panels removed? Wondering how the metal construction looks under there…

Does anybody have Grip Height measurments of your McMillan A series or competiton style stocks? I am interested in any stocks with longer then the A-3… Wondering about A-4, A-5, A-6, A-5 Supermag, A6-7 Supermag, U-1, U10 etc etc… XIT stock, Anschutz Silhouette? This is an A-3. Difficult to see...

I would say 1% of 1% of hunters are doing any turret twisting or need High BC to shoot small deer. Most are more concerned about ammunition cost and getting cheaper scope rings. Not to mention a new T3x SS Lite now costs $2100 in my country… next door neighbour to Finland. How much in the States?

Tools for bolt disaembly? Use your hands..
