    Tikka 223 or 25-06

    Looking at getting a 223 Tikka Lite SS but see they have 25-06 too. I have a ton of 5.56 (from AK 223 a bit beat up) and 223 range brass and a half ton of 30-06 brass. I have a 6.5x55 Tikka and son has 30-06 Tikka. Love the Tikka and will stay with them for my next rifle. I mostly like...

    260rem vs 7-08 for young shooter and hunter

    Re: 260rem vs 7-08 for young shooter and hunter If you reload, there are a lot of reduced loads in 30-06 that make shooting a 30-06 like shooting a 22 mag. Not sure if there are any reduced loads in your calibers. When my son got his Tikka T3 Lite 30-06 I started with very light loads and...

    Iphone GPS for Distances

    Is there a way to use the phones (Iphone5) GPS to measure distances? How accurate is it when you set a waypoint (if you can do that with a phone GPS, just got the phone) and use that waypoint to let you know the distance?

    CZ 455 Barrel Swap, What about Scope?

    When swapping barrels on the 455 from one caliber to other, what do you do with the scope? Do you have to re-zero it or do you get another scope and set up quick detach mount/rings?

    VEPR Hunter 7.62x54r- Gettin' Itchy Here

    Re: VEPR Hunter 7.62x54r- Gettin' Itchy Here So all I get with the longer barrel is more vorticity/energy to punch the steel core of the surplus into what ever I am shooting? When I was shooting steel core surplus through my SVT40 at my AR steel swing target the steel core didn't penetrate...

    Tikka T3 Super Varmint

    Re: Tikka T3 Super Varmint Canada has a better selection of Tikka's than the US. If $$$$ is not an issue, you can order one from Canada and have it imported to the US. It will cost you a bit of $$$ but it can be done. Contact the Canada importer and they can get you lined up with a dealer in...
