    Your PVA prefit experience

    I have a few of their barrels. They all shoot great and are priced well. But the lead times posted on their site are not accurate at all, and their communication is almost nonexistent. It is nearly impossible to get them to reply to email. The last one I ordered was a Tikka T3 prefit that was...

    Beryllium Copper Frame 1911 Build

    Other than looking sick, does beryllium copper have other benefits for a pistol frame? Is it tougher or more wear resistant than steel? Easier to machine? Is it lightweight or heavy compared to steel or aluminum? This is the first I've heard of it.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Gen II Turret Failure

    The same thing happened with my HST and PST gen2. It really bothered me until I figured it out. It has to do with how the external turret is held on to the internal turret. The three hex screws are not equally screwed in, causing it to not be perfectly centered. As you turn it through a full...

    New CZ rifle series ?

    The website says the 600 Trail has an aluminum receiver and polymer chassis. Good for weight, I suppose, but I can see why it only has a 2 MOA guarantee. https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-600-trail/

    Looking for a Tikka T3 Action Wrench for 6.5-CM

    That's not always necessary. I used a wheeler #1 action wrench and a Short Action Customs Bravo barrel vice to get my T3x barrel off.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares etr 3-18

    Just snagged a 3-18x50 Ares ETR from the cameralandny.com Fourth of July sale. Can't wait to see how it compares to my gen1 Cronus BTR and gen1 Ares BTR. Thanks @gr8fuldoug !

    Tikka T1X

    I was told by the very nice customer service person that long guns can take up to 10 days to be delivered, so it will likely be delivered to the store next week. I double checked, and their website says it typically takes 4-5 business days for long guns, but whatever. It will not have a...

    Tikka T1X

    I ordered one last Thursday from their website. I only ever got the order confirmation email right after I paid for it, and no emails after that. When I log in to the Cabelas website, it says it's shipping to the East Grand Forks store, but doesn't have a tracking number available. Gonna call...

    Where, specifically?

    Tikka T1X

    I really hope they make the same mistake on mine. Did you order it online at Cabelas? I did yesterday afternoon. How long did it take to be delivered to the store?

    Tikka T1X

    Thanks. My local gun store couldn't get a lead on any, so I just ordered a 20" from Cabelas.

    Tikka T1X

    Is the 16" 22lr T1x out of stock everywhere?

    New rifle action

    I pre-ordered a Nucleus. It's a good action. Nice and smooth. But the beta testing was done by those of us dumb enough to pre-order or buy in the first year. I went 16 days and over a dozen attempts at phone and email contact with no success for some concerns I had. It was like they dropped off...
