    Ok, today I "pulled the trigger" (pun intended) on my rifle purchase. I ordered a Tikka T3X CTR 6.5. It should arrive at my FFL next week; I have to say, I'm very excited. Now it time to start looking at some accessories. I really like the Atlas bipod over Harris; however, Atlas would require me...

    I think I have decided I want to go with the Tikka T3X CTR BL model in 6.5. Still weighing the option on the varmint model. However I do intend to hunt occasionally and this is one reason why I am still leaning towards the ctr. Decisions, decisions. I was looking at the velocity difference...

    Starting Rifle

    Ok, I have been reading specs, reviews and watching some videos. I have managed to narrow down the rifles which I believe will be the purchase for me. I have narrows it down to the Bergara HMR and Tikka T3X CTR and possibly the TAC A1. However, with the TAC A1 it's over what I have budgeted...

    Starting Rifle

    The only two I have been able to have hands on are a remington 700 police and sps tac that my buddies purchased for work. They seemed to be nice quality. They only thing i noticed is that with the sps tac when the bipod was deployed it didn't seem as though the barrel was free floating anymore.

    Starting Rifle

    No, I don't have a good reason to lean towards Remington. I suppose it would be fair to say I mentioned them just due to the familiarity with their reputation. I have heard of Savage arms before and until recently never head of Tikka. I know I want a stock that's dbm to start with. I'm also...

    Starting Rifle

    Hello new here, been lurking as a reader for a few days now. I apologize right now for any typo's or run-ons with my first post. I'm an EMT and just got back to my home for the first time since Hurricane Harvey hit SETX last Tuesday. I'm completely new to the concept of precision shooting and...
