    SOLD Manners T4A for Tikka CTR - Gap Camo

    Protip, OP: marking your ad sold, either in the text of the thread title or by changing that “ACCESSORIES” tag to one that says “SOLD,” will stop most people (the intelligent ones who can read, anyway) from asking you if your item is still available after it sold… ;)

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    Well, that didn’t last long… :ROFLMAO: @ironpony52 yeah, I’ve honestly never been able to just throw money at things. I’ve either saved up, sold stuff, or (when I was younger) purchased on credit to get several items in hand to try and then sold what didn’t work for me to pay things back off...

    Free Personality test

    I’ve taken this test twice before. First time I scored ISTJ, second time almost four years later I scored ISTP. 🤷‍♂️

    Leveling a scope

    My money is on the OP’s inability to outshoot whatever teeny, tiny differences may exist from using these various methods lol. No offense OP, but as others have noted, use a plumb bob to level the reticle, match the rifle level to the reticle, and run it. If you’ve purchased quality gear and...

    How important is AW mag compatibility to you? Would you buy a non-AW cut action in 2025?

    I think AICS is far more prevalent than AW and have no problem running an AICS mags. At present I only have a Tikka in .223 using AICS mags, and no AW-based actions. That being said, if I had my way, all centerfire rifles would use the AW mag as I find it superior.

    I don’t fly at all right now unfortunately, and may never again. It’s complicated, I’m afraid. ☹️ But I flew out of Frankfort when I did. Still know a lot of folks who do fly so once in a while I get to hitch a ride, but helicopters (like I used to fly) are harder to find access to right now.

    Trump wants to let in 600,000 Chinese, and continues to grow the IRS

    Not sure about anybody else, but I saw this coming a mile away. Glad I didn’t vote for either of the mainstream candidates. What’s that Shakespeare quote? “A piece of shit by any other name…” or some such? Yeah…

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    Yeah, I was considering a Carette II but I’d have to let a few guns go to really swing a $2200 compressor. That would be the highest quality option I could manage and it’d be a stretch at that, but it would last me a lifetime with proper maintenance. A more realistic option would be a GX CS4i...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    That depends on the size of the air reservoir, what pressure you fill it to, the caliber, the projectile weight, the velocity it’s tuned for, and somewhat on whether it’s regulated or not. The standard Benjamin Marauder is a good benchmark for quality at a good price, and it has a robust...

    3x magnifiers

    The thing to remember here is that everything is a tradeoff. Do you need fast engagements up close with the ability to stretch out sometimes, or do you need positive ID and greater precision at mid-range distances with the ability to work close in? Both work, but each does one thing better and...
