Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

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 years. But wanted longer barrel in 1/8 vs its 1/9. It still shoots 77grain ammo great. It 10 years old and still running, but I wanted to play with a new toy.

If you have been looking for one of these, some are released now. Maybe old news but it was new to me.

$625 shipped. PayPal or Venmo please

New hunting scope for hunting/ target shooting.

I was lucky and found a Weatherby Mark V carbonmark on sale about half off and would like to put the best glass I can on it. Right now I’m looking at the Leupold Mark 5HD in 3.6-18, the Burris XTR iii in 3.3-18, and a few others that I know very little about. Zeiss, Swarovski, Nightforce. This rifle is chambered in 6.5 creedmore and will be my new primary rifle used mostly for deer and possibly elk. Any recommendations would be welcome.

It’s For Your Safety🙄

Katrina… NYC stop & frisk… Round up the usual suspects… It’s for your safety…

IIRC there was an incident a few years ago in Indiana(?) where the police put up a barricade, had everyone get out of their cars, handcuffed them and had them sit on the curb while their vehicles were searched for something that could identify one of them as a suspect in a shooting.

Now this.

Arrogant assholes is too polite a term to apply to these jackboots.

PRS comps take way too long

So I got talked in to PRS shooting last year and it was fairly new for many at the club. But has gained an even more following which is great. But damn the matches take up too much time. At least at our range it does. 60-80 shooters. 8 stages and it’s 4 hours + to shoot. Two hours of travel and then help clean up. It’s a 7 hour day. It’s why I gave up golf. The other reason so many shooters attend is that the range has 4 matches a year so I think that adds to the need to attend. Not sure what others see out there at there local range but it’s not really keeping me entertained anymore. More of a grind.

‘Would Have Gotten Us Killed:’ Soldiers Slam Microsoft Headsets After Disastrous Test


US Army Troops test Microsoft HoloLens

Alana Mastrangelo14 Oct 202228




Microsoft’s high-tech HoloLens headsets were recently tested by the U.S. Army, which found that they have significant flaws that soldiers say “would have gotten us killed,” according to reports.
More than 80 percent of the soldiers testing Microsoft’s headset — designed to give them a “heads-up display” similar to those used by fighter pilots — have reported feeling nauseous, getting headaches, or suffering eyestrain according to a U.S. Army report obtained by Bloomberg and Business Insider.
Microsoft’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), is supposed to let commanders project information onto a visor in front of a soldier’s face, and include features such as night vision.
“The devices would have gotten us killed,” one soldier said of Microsoft’s headset, referring to the light generated by the goggles when they’re active, which could alert the enemy to the soldier’s location on the battlefield.
Nickolas Guertin, director of Operation Test and Evaluation, concurred, saying the system is still experiencing too many failures of essential functions.
This comes after the Defense Department gave Microsoft a contract worth nearly $22 billion to build the devices for the U.S. military.
In a statement, Microsoft said “our close collaboration with the Army has enabled us to quickly build” and modify the device “to develop a transformational platform that will deliver enhanced soldier safety and effectiveness. We are moving forward with the production and delivery of the initial set” of devices.


Bloomberg reports that the test results will be assessed by lawmakers as they decide whether to $424.2 million the Army proposed to spend on the program this fiscal year.

Defiance not accepting orders

Tried to get an order placed for a new action with defiance. They said they are not currently accepting new orders because they are backed up with existing orders. Moral of the story: I need an action made for 300 prc in a left hand configuration. Defiance is what was recommended, but looking for other options as well. I am building my first custom bolt gun.

What to do after you hit a deer on the way to work......

You screw around in the reloading room.

At roughly 4am, I hit a deer on the way to work, actually two deer as she was pregnant. What a deer is doing pregnant this time of year, must have been a slut. So they haul my poor truck to get fixed. So I go back home and load some 3006. So I did that and decompressed a bit.

After a dozen calls to ins, and body shops to see how long it is going to take to get my car back I start to try to figure out what am I going to drive in the short term. Well I have a choice between these two running "cars"

This one is going to be just a tad chilly with temps at 40F, and no windshield.

An 850 Fiat spider, and as I enjoy little cars to play in, driving one to work daily is not going to be fun. Hopefully I can get an estimate on the timeline on my car.

I also have an '86 Fiero, but it has not moved in several years, I was going to sell it with the stupid car prices this year, but my health just sidelined that.

So riding to work in this old girl, in the dark, with 1960's headlights.....lets just say tech has come a long way.

You people in Virginia need to take care of this


If this shit doesn't move you do take care of business, I don't know what will.
