    New Tikka Inbound and Another Question about Stocks

    Sharp looking stick there. I like the wrap. I could, and have, installed that type of adjustable rest, but my strong preference is for something that doesn’t snag like those knobs will. The OEM cheek riser would be ideal, but I have stock packs on two other rifles, so may go that route. Still...

    New Tikka Inbound and Another Question about Stocks

    Thanks for the info! Where did you find the screw-on riser? Tikka risers seem to be unobtanium at the moment.

    New Tikka Inbound and Another Question about Stocks

    I don’t know that I won’t like the OE stock, but since I’m going to have to add a cheek piece or pad and I’m going to swap in a limb saver recoil pad, it seemed like I ought to at least consider my options with a chassis, especially since the chassis comes with an adjustable comb already. Thanks...

    New Tikka Inbound and Another Question about Stocks

    I have a Tikka T3x Lite LA inbound and I'm wondering about my stock options. On the one hand, I could replace the recoil pad with a Limbsaver and add a cheek riser of some sort, or I could ditch the factory stock altogether for a chassis. In the chassis market, I'm primarily interested in the...

    Magpul MOE PR Stock

    That's almost exactly what I initially thought about. The only exception would be that I would use a large straw or tube, i.e. a section of a giant pixie stick, to give enough room to drop the lock pin out if necessary, but fill the void as much as possible. If I find the hole to be a problem...

    Magpul MOE PR Stock

    Thanks for the responses. Maybe they’ll make a plug for it, or some tech wizard here can 3D print one.

    Magpul MOE PR Stock

    I’m curious: Why does the open bottom bother you?

    Magpul MOE PR Stock

    I've been waiting for Magpul to do this for a long time. There are other manufacturers that make similar products, but not at this price point. (that I'm aware of) The rattle doesn't bother me and the angle of the bag rider is about the same as a regular hunting stock.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15 Wind turret stuck

    That thing is buggered all to hell. How tight did you torque those screws?!

    Red Dots on Long Guns

    That guy can shoot. Meanwhile, here’s a Crimson Trace CTS-1550 on my 94 AE in 45 Colt:

    Red Dots on Long Guns

    You’re not alone. I put one on my turkey shotgun (wrapped Rem. 1100M) and liked it so much I am putting one on my Mossberg 500 and my Win. M94 in 45 Colt. The Winchester is going to make a really nice short-range deer/pig popper.

    Sig Cross .308 Barrel corrosion?

    My money is on a defect in the barrel steel. That putting looks awfully deep and awfully localized. Too much so IMO to have been caused by rust, particularly since it’s a stainless barrel. The last photo is particularly suspicious. Look at the corner where the land meets the groove and you’ll...

    Gunsmithing Rossi 92 and Boyd’s wood

    Lookin’ good! I had to correct some sapwood on the stock of my Win. 94 AE and wound up using that same ratio but with red mahogany instead of gunstock.

    Armorally.com

    Weird and disconcerting. I ordered a spare Toolcraft AR10 and AR15 BCGs back in June and had zero issues.

    Gunsmithing Rossi 92 and Boyd’s wood

    Brown Acraglass is probably your best bet for that. Tung oil if that’s what you like, but I prefer something a bit more durable, like Brownells’ Acra-Coat for Wood. It also looks like you have a bit more wood on one side of that fore end than the other, so you can still take a little off if...
