I reported back to him, not sure what he did. The gun was never taken out of the stock, so if it was not seated right, it would have come from the factory that way.

I hear Beretta is terrible to deal with. My friend is bypassing them and buying the mountain tactical mags. Let's see how that works out. Seems like the mags are the weak point of the T3x. Even the plastic stock isn't that bad. I bought my tikka and it went strainght into a KRG, so had no idea...

Thanks for the suggestions. Will try them.

I convinced my friend to buy a T3x 223. He loved the gun, but it has terrible feeding issues. The bolt just glides over the cartridge pretty consistently using the cheap factory mags. The gun is bone stock. I have several factory mags that he tried. All the mags did the same thing. He tried my...

I have been in touch with a Legacy sports rep. In May he told me he expects the new 300 bo rifles and barreled actions to arrive state side later this year or early next year. Keep your eyes open. There is one site that claims to have them, but its a scam site. howaguns.com stay away!

Do you have experience with other suppressors?

I understand that. Not sure my ears can pick up the difference...or if that difference is significant enough to warrant the upcharge. Is the difference resulting in being able to go without ear protection with your can, while the competitor cans I would need to use protection with? That is the...

Anyone have shot a Magnus SR on a 223? Can you go without hearing protection? On TBAC site they have 126 db on 6.5 CM. Just curious if anyone has shot it on a 223 and how loud it is. Considering a purchase, but having a hard time parting with $2k...when there are others with very similar sound...

too bad the chassis is left handed.

My opinion on a custom action and barrel for 300 bo is that it is a waste of money. This is not a caliber that can benefit from that $700 custom barrel or the action. Other than that, if I was to go the custom action, I would look at the ARC CDG myself (seems like it has alot of the bells and...

I assume you haven't seen how poorly the bolt to action fit is on a Ruger. Watch some videos, maybe you got lucky with your Ruger. Every time you cycle it, it sounds like a huge zipper going up and down. Ruger doesn't pop into my mind when I think quality, precision, etc. Cheap...that is for...

In my reading on this topic, seems like the R700 doesn't feed/extract 300 BO well. If you got yours working, that is great. I can wait for the Howa Mini, have other gun related purchases anyway. But, hope Tikka wakes up and builds a 300 bo.

I got another email from Legacy today. Don't expect any of the Howa 300BO to arrive till end of the year, or early 2024. My bet is early to mid 2024.

A few months ago I emailed them and they said they are bringing it back, but have had some delays. Guy said 200 days or something silly like that. I will wait it out. Hope it happens. I would buy it over the ruger ranch any day. The Tikka would be supremely better for me (biased toward Tikka)...

If it wasn't proposed already...here are two options: Howa mini in 300 BO. They are going to be imported again over the next 6-8 months. Crappy soft stock. ~$500 + $420 MDT Oryx. Tikka 223 lite ($750), pull the barrel, get a criterion $400 (probably more with threaded and coated, like $600...
