They accelerated for around 3 miniutes into a grounding because they could not figure out the auto pilot was on. Auto pilot held course but allowed for power adjustments. They went from 40% to 100% power, thinking more power would turn the ship faster, but again the auto pilot was over ruling their course corrections.

From a dingey to VLCC the very first action order on a steering casualty, or any loss of positive command for that matter, is to take off all way. I think your average farmer who has never been on a boat or ever seen the ocean could figure that out. It takes a special kind of moron to assess there is no steering so we should hit the gas.

If you set up your rifle to take the correct detachable mags something like 2.990" MDT minus center plate, will feed through a standard Rem short action...available on line everywhere.
With a little inletting on your part, presto you too, can have the same setup.

This will help with the 200 gr and heavier to seat out past the ogive.
These are 208 Bergers at 2700 fps in $600 rifle build with a new Bartlein 5R 9 twist 22" barrel, bottom metal, magazine, and muzzle brake ....used parts on a trued Rem 700.
The rifle was a previous factory Rem LTR, with a shot out barrel.

Impossible to Level Scope Ring Caps Accurately?

I'll probably get flamed to death for using the word "lapping," but here goes.

I was putting some rings on an Athlon scope for a squirrel .22 tonight. Like a lot of rings, these have 4 screws each on top. That means it's possible to have all 4 corners of the caps at different heights, and there is no way to measure their heights accurately.

So if you get in there with your lapping tool and get everything true, and then you take the screws out, put the scope on, and put the screws back in, how is it possible that you will get the caps back on exactly as they were before you lapped them? If you can't, isn't it pretty likely you'll throw off all your lapping work?

This looks like a softball for anti-lappers.

In short; it isn't possible to guarantee that each screw is back to the same .001" of depth that it was while you were lapping. The bottom half though should at least be more correctly aligned.

You won't make it perfect, but you should at least make it better.

Then you get to deal with lapping compound and the scope slipping. I attempted this about 20 years ago and remember the results...finally realizing that I needed to use some rubbing alcohol and elbow grease to get all of that crap cleaned off.

I'm not an anti-lapper per se, but I haven't had the need to go that route again in a long time since I started investing in better rings/mounts.

Non comp 22

Are there any other descent options for bravo style chassis for the tikka's.

Don't really care for the mdt, and i have never been behind an actual chassis, so not sure if i would like them or not, i do like the modularity of them though, seems like it would have a similar feel to ar's. Not many people in NE Arkansas that i know of, do a lot of long range stuff, even though there is plenty of places to shoot, with all the rice and cotton fields. From my dad's house to the river, I have little over a mile shot if I was capable and had a gun that could.

I have the B14R and T1X in a KRG bravo. If there’s any chance you’d carry hunting or what not the tikka is lighter. My next may very well be a CZ.

If you’re building a range/bench gun then B14R would be a great choice.

The tikka I have is a 16”. Running a TBAC 22 takedown on it with a thermal.

On certain lots of SK ammo they’ll go supersonic in my B14R and have the loud crack even suppressed. The 16” tikka doesn’t have this issue. The tikka has an awesome trigger from the box as well. Plan to upgrade the B14R trigger

If I wanted a nice 22 that I can use for target with hunting mixed in it be a T1X or CZ

The B14R is nice as a clone/heavy setup as it takes 700 parts. That said if you want to carry extra mags the B14R are AICS pattern. So they’re huge in comparison to the others. I also have a BMR in 22 mag. That’s more comparable to the tikka in regards to weight and magazines

What does the tikka in the bravo weigh?

I like the Bergara, and it would probably end up cheaper after I buy a bravo for the Tikka. My current day coyote rig is a savage with criterion heavy varmint profile, in a manners t5a, so im used to toting around a heavy rifle. Night time right is fairly heavy also. Not that I don't have enough irons in the fire, I'm wanting to build a matching pair in 22cm and 6cm for hunting/target shooting.
