I have a Tikka T1x that shoots lights out! closing the bolt is smooth and "normal". After the shot the bolt is heavy to lift. The rifle has about 500-700 rounds so far. Does this match up with others experience? I have noticed on youtube vids the shooters appear to lift the bolt easily.

Is there a comp that an old guy with mobility issues could try?

Does painting a scope make it harder to sell? fairly simple question. All my scopes are factory black but have been thinking about painting one of them.

I have a Savage 12LRP today I was at the range siting in a new scope. The action leaves a bit to be desired but the gun is a tack driver. I got the scope zeroed and about 10 shots in the firing pin begin to dimple the primer but the cartridge did not fire. this happened to 4 in a row. It was a...

Everything I have read or seen about Element scopes seems to be very good. Are they as good as they are promoted?

I have a Tikka T3x A1 with a Kahles i624 with Burris 20 MOA rings. I have the rings set to the last position aft and the scope slid in the rings as far aft as possible. I still need the scope to move another .5 in aft. Currently I have the stretch my neck/head position forward to achieve proper...

I've been away for awhile due to some surgery but now I'm ready to start shooting again. My question is it better to have a threaded "fixed" suppressor or an adapter where I can move the suppressor between two guns. I have a Sako TRG22 .308 and a Tikka T3x TAC a1 in 6.5CM. Even though they are...

I have a 5700 sportsman witht the new 1.41 up;oad. If i get the $29 AB app what will it add??? Does it have all the bullet profiles?

I recently got an Accutac FC5-G2 and am really happy. I have a Tikka T3X TAC A1 and just couldn't get comfortable on the gun using a Harris and even considered getting a stock and losing the chassis. I ordered the Accutac and when I opened the box I was immediately impressed with the quality of...

I just received my Accutac FC5-G2. This model is the wide stance model like the Atlas 5H. The Accu-tac is very high quality and the adjustments to the height, cant and piviot are very easy to use and lock up solid when needed. I have never used an Atlas so I'm not making a comparison. The...

Do you have experience with the Accu-tac bipod? opinions??? Also the F-class version. I have only used the Harris and the Sako on my TRG.

I have never used Berger bullets before but I thought I would try them out. opinions as to which is better. I known it depends, just asking for your experience. 185 juggernaut vs the new design 185 target hybrid.

I have a Kahles 624 with Aadmount covers that won't close. I ordered them from Aadmount for the Kahles 624 and the installed easily with a perfect fit but when I try to snap them closed the cap portion will not snap closed around the mount portion. I don't won't to file or grind if I don't have...

know .308, 300win mad and 338 are used as sniper rifles but I never hear about 6.5 creedmoor guns being used....why???

I am wondering what ballistically that cause the 6.5 cm to have a short barrel life. It isn't a magnum, the powder charge is not that high???

This will be my first suppressor and am wondering if there are advantages/disadvantages in using one can for both guns? A .308 and 6.5cm. Both are bolt guns. Would it be better to get a separate suppressor for each gun?

I received my Kestrel Sportsman 5700 yesterday. I successfully upgraded the firmware. It does not appear to have Applied Ballistics installed..... So my question is, without the $190 upgrade to Elite, what does the Sportsman 5700 do for me that my smartphone plus Wind Flow unit does not do? I...

I am using a Hornady OAL gage with a Hornady modified case for 6.5cm to measure my Tikka T3 TAC A1. It seems to me that the measurement is dependent on the bullet used when measuring. I used a Berger 140 Hybrid Target and a Hornady 143 ELD X. The average of 10 measurements each was different...

I would like to start reading up on how to read the wind. Can some of you recommend books that helped you learn and understand the skill. I know that it takes practice but knowing what to practice is a place to start.

I am trying to decide if I really need a Kestral or do I just want one. I have a WeatherFlow that connects to my smart phone. I do not compete but shoot alot. I reload and am serious about trying to be accurate out to 1000 yds.
