We often discuss how much each inch of barrel will effect velocity, obviously there is more to it than just barrel length with twist and chambers etc. But here are some loads with comparisons and resulting delta's. I started with a handload 69 grain SMK load Tikka 2,934 FPS 5R , 2,827 FPS...

I have an NXS 1-8 and thought about putting it on that scope, but I felt like the 4-16 needed it much more and offered the most advantage. This gun has been great and I hope this takes it to the next level. I have looked through it and it seems near perfect, but I will shoot it hard this...

I have owned and used an 85mm Razor spotter for years. Awesome spotter. I have the 27-60 variable eyepiece and liked it alright but later bought the fixed 22X with MRAD reticle and absolutely love that eyepiece. Well, 2 weeks ago I pulled my spotter out of my bag and the eyepiece fell off the...

I recently bought a Tikka T3x in 223 and it shoots lights out. We shot some 88 gr ELD's out to 1,300 yards and went 3/5 and basically hit everything inside that with little effort. Tip, if your shooting longer bullets and want to use their single feed bobsled (Mountain Tactical), it works like a...

I just received my Tikka Tx3 .223 varmint and just realized I have a 14X1 thread on the barrel. I have a Sig 556 DT can I would like to use or I just got a Nomad 30's I could use. What adapter do I need and is there a best adapter to use? Funny, the Nomad fits but seems a bit off? Anybody...

And I will be if I do something this stupid again.

I grabbed a couple more 30 cal cans for my bolt guns. I was a fan of mounts but the direct thread cans have won my heart over time. Anybody run these cans and how did they do? I went with Rifles Only HAD covers, they have worked well in the past. Mods if this belongs elsewhere, please move...

I have been looking for one of these for a while and I just saw a variety of these guns on GB. It checks every box I have been looking for: 23.7 inch barrel threaded barrel 1/8 twist good trigger, and smooth bolt Decent stock built in rail to upper I have a Rem 700 5r that I have loved for...

I have a friend looking to buy one of these AR’s. Anyone have any experience? Pros cons ? PB

Hey fellas, any peeps with time behind the trigger on this gun. I am not a Savage fan but I have been looking for a 26 inch .223 tactical bolt gun. Has MDT stock, ARCA rail and some interesting features, but how is reliability ( feeding) and accuracy? Any feedback appreciated. PB

It seems like you can't find a Geissele 20MOA scope mount anymore. Maybe they discontinued? Anyway, my buddy is looking for a high quality scope mount for his LMT MWS and NF ATACR 4-16X42 scope. I see a lot of shooters like the Spuhr line. If you know the line, what 20MOA scope would you...

NF ATACR 4-16X42 vs X50 both F1's Is there a difference between these two scopes. I own both the 42 bell and the 50 bell. But I often see the 50 bell cheaper, is there any difference other than bell size? Why would it be cheaper, simple supply and demand ?? PB

I had been looking at these Super Duty rifles for a minute. They posted the black one for $1,580 and they hooked me. I'm going to run a QD 556 Sig can, Atlas Bipod and I am going to try for the first time on a small frame gasser my fav Big frame gasser optic, NF 4-16X42. I put Offset BUIS...

I had planned to run a NF NX8 1-8 but ran into the aforementioned scope for a great deal. I’m going to try on my 16incher and see how hefty it will feel. Anybody try this scope on an AR? PB

I own a Rem 700 5R in .223 that has been an amazing gun. I thought Bergara was going to make one but never saw it surface. Any other solid manufactures make a good one. I shoot mine out to a thousand with good results and its a tack driver. But I'd like a longer barrel and maybe step up my...

I have an old TB 30BA that I use for a 300WM that I rarely shoot. I have another I like better. Anyway to make that 30BA into a direct thread can? Either via Thunderbeast or another firm that does quality work. Don't want Bubba to trash my can. I'm hoping TB can do it. Otherwise I'll but...

The AAC Tri-lug is unobtainium if you have been looking, you know this issue. Well I found a group that is making one. The Hansohn TiRant 3 Lug Adapter for 9mm via Hansohn Brothers website. It is built rock solid and their customer service and is second to none. PB

I have an Aimpoint that the battery died. I cant get the cap off to replace it, any tips to remove a stubborn cap? PB

I have owned 6 300WM’s and been very fortunate that all guns loved our H1k loads. This new Bergara does half assed 1.5MOA with our loads. We shot a 5 shot group with 230Atips with of SD4 and it shot 1.5 MOA. Shot other loads similar except our 208 AMAX load shot 4.5 inches right and about same...

I have many rifles and Nightforce scopes. I run 20 MOA bases on almost all. Most of my scopes average around 18 Mils of elevation. But one first Gen ATACR has 30 mils of elevation. Cant really figure out why. The NXS scopes should have 15mils plus 20 moa so 18 sounds about right. The ATACR...
