    Tikka T3 Thread

    The issue is I can't easily thread and suppress the factory 22" superlite barrel. So that means new barrel, and besides... I wanted something just a tad shorter, like 20". This would counteract the thicker barrel needed for a can, and keep my length shorter when the can is on. So just thinking...

    Scope Ring brand recommendation

    That American Rifle Company ring set is a pretty odd design, just one screw hanging on there, good to hear it works well for ya.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    QQ for you Tikka guys. I've got an itch to do more elk hunting, and now that I've got a 30 cal can... I want to do it more quietly... So I've got a 22" superlite in 30-06 t3x. Trying to figure out what caliber to go with that would perform as good as 30-06, if not better, but in a 20" bbl. My...

    243 AR Build

    I've wanted to do a 243 in my Mega Arms build, even got a spare upper for it too (just no barrel yet). But the issue I've found is for 243, the FASTEST twist I can find is 1:10, sometimes 1:9, and for the bullets I've got on hand (90gr+) those twists just aren't what I'm looking for...

    Scope Ring brand recommendation

    Hey all, First, sorry if this is located somewhere else in the forums... I did use the search and found a 34mm thread from 2yrs ago, so figured I'd ask. My question is what is the go-to picatinny aluminum scope ring for bolt guns (aka medium height)? I just got my wife into deer hunting...

    Rifle Scopes first spr 10-600 yard scope help

    Hey there, I thought I would chime in on this, as I went through this process about 2 years ago. I am not, by any means, a expert or guru. I'm just a guy with some Military experience and now an avid shooter. So with that said, it looks like you have a good magnification range for a "SPR"...

    Choosing a 30 cal for long range shooting

    Brass? 300 win mag is probably easier to find brass for than 300 ultramag

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    The only thing that bothers me with these rifles is the fact that the barrel extension is different than everything else. So until I get my hands on a couple extensions, it kinda ruins my 358 16" Sasquatch thumper, and all the other cool things you can chamber an AR10 in. I think the normal...

    Rifle Scopes Is a $$ scope worth the money?

    Interestingly enough, I have the exact opposite problem. My Objective lense came loose on my SS 10x, and its being sent back in for repair. My razor HD (Jap glass) is looking great! But with that said, my SS 3-9x42 FFP looks great almost as good as my vortex does. Never had a problem with it...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Military/LEO Program SO FRUSTRATING!

    Hey gents, If you're active duty military or LEO, I'd really recommend ordering your optics somewhere else. I've been dealing with the one and only lady that responsible for the tactical optics. Emailing her and leaving voicemails for the past month. All of this and I still haven't gotten my...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    It's obvious that you are going to do what you want, regardless of others. That's fine. Just looking out for other dealers. That's all. Back to the topic at hand. If the mark 6 had illumination and was priced close to the razor hd. I would have bought it. I still might next year. Right now I...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Yep. Employee pricing was the best I could get. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to disclose that information, specially on a public forum. As far as the Mark 8, its for my 30-338 Lapua that I'm building. Never said it was for my 308, so I'm willing to spend more money on a Mark 8 for CZ...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Just in case anyone refers to this thread again... And had the questions I did... I was worried about light transmission in a high magnification FFP scope... I didn't pose it as a question, more of a observation based on my previous PST, and current SWFA SS 10x. The reticle in the Vortex Razor...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Super Sniper ?? what power 10,12,or 16 ??

    I use the lowest rings I can get away with. Taking in mind that the objective lens has to clear the top of the barrel with scope caps on. Also, sometimes if you ocular lens is big, you might have problems manipulating the bolt if you have really low rings. You could either go up one size in...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Super Sniper ?? what power 10,12,or 16 ??

    I'd cast a vote for the 10x or 12x. Depending if you're actively walking around shooting or if you're just posted up somewhere and raining death upon those critters. 10x for walking around... maybe 6x even, and 12x if you're posted up somewhere. I went middle of the road and glad I did. 10x is...
