    Night Vision Uhh Arken has NV

    I saw that when they were advertising their price increase. I'm still waiting on (3rd party) comparisons but yeah I've been looking for something cheap to throw on my 6.5G AR that currently has a Vortex 5x. I'm moving back to the southeast so may just stick with a thermal anyways.

    7PRC & 300PRC builds for hunting/ELR

    Thanks guys! Yeah my original plan was to just have the Tikka in 7PRC....but came across the Bergara and had me thinking....apparently too deep!

    Muzzle brakes

    Not sure how it'll handle large magnums but I went with both; A419 Maverick. I've had it on my 300wsm and now it just stays on my 6.5CM; I can easily spot my own shots and much less blast then just a brake.

    7PRC & 300PRC builds for hunting/ELR

    I guess I should've clarified. Tikka will be 7PRC, Bergara would be 300PRC. Basically, which one should I make into a pure hunting rifle(lightweight) and which should I turn into a heavier, basically bench rifle. I'm away for work so haven't had the chance to run any numbers, I've just gone...

    7PRC & 300PRC builds for hunting/ELR

    I have two rifles I was going to build but now not sure which route to go. Initially I was going to build a lightweight Tikka in 7PRC for hunting in North America(elk) and recently picked up a Bergara that I was going to turn into an ELR(mile) rig in 300PRC. Should I go the other way around...

    Recommendations for left handed factory bolt rifle

    I have both the Bergara(300WM) and Tikka(6.5CM & 300WSM) in LH. I bought the Bergara thinking I would just drop a trigger in there and call it a day,(and eventually rebarrel for 300PRC) but with my rifles the Tikkas action is noticeably much smoother and the triggers way better out of the box...

    Budget spotting scopes with reticle

    My buddy has the Bushnell Legend T. I have the Athlon Ares I think with the 22x reticle. The Athlon blows the bushnell out of the water as far as clarity and brightness goes. I guess up close (100yd range) it wasn't that really noticeable...but at 500yds, spotting shots were easier with the...

    Tikka XM bottom metal

    I think it's been "Out Of Stock" from them for a while(I think last time I checked was like a year ago).

    Tikka XM bottom metal

    They had advertised it but then took it down(it was on their website). I can't find the email, but when I asked about it they either said it was discontinued or they scrapped the idea. I assumed they scrapped the idea due to the XM length being associated with Defiance and there was some sort...

    Precision Rifle Gear Arken 4-16 for lightweight .308?

    This is what's on my M&P10 right now(illuminated version though). Scopes I've had on it prior: Athlon 2-12x Helos BTR G2. Dot too big PA GLX 4-16x: wasn't happy with eyebox and Chevron didn't work out for type of shooting I did. Athlon Midas TAC 5-25: More scope than needed/bulky Arken EP5...

    CZ 457

    Just a little curious, is there a reason why 13rd capacity is chosen instead of 10rd or 15rd? I only ask since it's easier for me to drop 5/10rds out of the tray than anything under that.

    CZ 457

    Get the rifle and just run it in base would probably be cheapest.
