    tikka t3 tacical 308

    A friend of mine happened to visit the Sako factory in Riihimäki.Tikka barrels are made from the same steel as Sako barrels and exactly on the same CNC machines. Now, the selection process is simple- the best barrels go to TRG and Tikka Tactical. Tactical catches up with Sako TRG up to 600m.

    Sig 516 vs. Barrett REC7

    Hi, the choice of AR-15 clones in the EU is not as wide as in the US therefore I would like to ask the guys familiar with those two rifles: is Barrett so vastly superior to Sig that it is worth the extra money?

    Chris Kyle's system

    Just wondering. What was he using back there in Iraq? I only read the rifle was chambered in 338 LM. Scope? Reticle? ballistic software?

    Haenel RS 8

    I happened to handle today the new Haenel RS 8 . The finish and overall quality is impressive. It reminds me of Blaser lrs 2. However I did not have a chance to shoot it. What strikes me is the price- it is priced at the very same level as AI AE.

    CZ 750, SSG 04, or T3 sporter

    Re: CZ 750, SSG 04, or T3 sporter I shot all 3 guns you mentioned. I would go with tikka sporter or buy a tikka varmint (as some proposed) and change the stock. Tikkas are made on the same CNC machines and from exactly the same steel as Sako. I spoke to people who have been to Rihimaki and...

    Anschutz 64 MP R

    Re: Anschutz 64 MP R it's way to heavy. don't do this to yourself. btw, it's not suitable for hunting. I happened to handle several anschutzs and they all looked shitty. why not a CZ?

    What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ?

    Re: What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ? 1. it's capable of shooting 1moa groups with good ammo (e.g.lapua scenar) 2. nice barrel. comes with muzzle brake and a bipod which is of course an advantage. 3. nice adjustable stock. 4. fair trigger. however for this money there is too...
