Re: Oh Crap!! Round stuck in chamber Wouldn't soaking the action in oil to render the primer and powder inactive be the safest first step before pounding or prying on anything?

Re: Tikka Fans Wow. Those first two pictures look so perfect it almost looks like an "artists rendition" and not real. That's beautiful work.

Re: I need pants I've got a few pairs of Vertx, and have no complaints at all. Comfortable, durable.

Re: reno members? Hey Tyler, Claude here from Reno. Wondering how many of us are around here?

Re: Scope rings cross bolt - your opinions, please... Well, a set of Seekins rings should be at my doorstep tomorrow... And in the chart Glen referenced, it states lubricating is the preferred method, but one needs to be clear on which method given torque specs are for.

Re: Scope rings cross bolt - your opinions, please... That bolt Boris posted a pic of is mine. I called EGW this week and they swore they had never heard of one of their bolts shearing. I have sheared a few, and I don't think it is a bad batch, I think it is incorrect or unclear instructions...

Re: recommend barrel vise & action wrenches I use the barrel vise/tools from Russ Haydon's and they have been fantastic.

Re: DBM frustrations If I am reading your post correctly, I think I would trim the catch lever instead of shimming the bm

Re: ATF Check Clear time?? I sent a personal check in on 19 December and it cleared on 23 December. It did clear as an electronic payment, not a paper check.

Re: Inch/Pound Torque Wrench I started with the cheap Harbor Freight one that only goes down to 20 in-lbs, and ended up buying the Borka. No regrets, I leave the Harbor Freight one in the bike toolbox, the Borka in the gun toolbox.

Re: Inch/Pound Torque Wrench Harbor Freight has inexpensive ones. Torque wrenches are one item where price = quality usually. If you can spend a bit more, a Borka is unbeatable.

Re: CMMG 22 conversion AR Like a lot of things mechanical, there is probably a break in period. I'd try to run a few hundred rounds through keeping everything lubed and see if that smooths out any problems.

Re: Suppressor for Tikka T3 7mm Mag? 30BA If I were buying a suppressor specifically for my Tikka I'd have bought the 30BA, but I bought the 30P-1 because it is going to be on my Remington 700 95% of the time.

Re: Suppressor for Tikka T3 7mm Mag? Don't discount the BA Zak mentioned, the mount might be better given the muzzle diameter. I bought my 30P-1 primarily for another rifle with a heavier barrel, not my Tikka. Either way, just trust the advice of the guys at TBAC.

Re: scope rail and rings questions. EGW also has some nice delrin inserts for their 30mm rings to use them with 1" scopes.
