    Gunsmithing tikka t3 tactical aftermarket upgrade thread

    Re: tikka t3 tactical aftermarket upgrade thread I just ordered the A.R.M.S #22 medium height 30mm quick detach scope rings, has anyone used these on the t3 tac / super varmint? They should hopefully do me up to a 50mm front obj scope, and maybe a 56mm at a squeeze? Maybe I missed it, but...

    Gunsmithing tikka t3 tactical aftermarket upgrade thread

    Re: tikka t3 tactical aftermarket upgrade thread Thanks heaps for that! is it true that the only difference between the super varmeint and the tactical is the threaded barrel? Or does the tactiacl have a shorter / lighter barrel?

    Re: tikka t3 tactical aftermarket upgrade thread Hey all, I'm new to the tikka club, so new intact I only put my deposit down today on a T3 Super Varmint 7mm Rem Mag. Should have it in 2 weeks, my question is this: Can you neatly install a front picatinny rail for mounting bipods like an atlas?

    Where to start with a rem700 custom build

    Re: Where to start with a rem700 custom build I've already put 500 rounds through the old rusty .22, but it's frustrating that you can get tight groups at 50m and then twist or bump something on the old thing and you get 1 shot from 5 that's 2 inches out of the group. As far as caliber...

    Where to start with a rem700 custom build

    Re: Where to start with a rem700 custom build Thanks for all the feed back. Looks like it might be best to get a local 2nd hand rem700 ($950 best price btw) and get comfortable with it, then upgrade.

    Where to start with a rem700 custom build

    Hey all, I am thinking about building my first rifle. I was originally looking at a Remington 700 varmint or another rem700 for long range target shooting and just buying it new or near new in factory condition. I figure that I would want to replace the stock sooner or later anyway, so why not...

    Rifle Scopes Sub $1000 mildot 20x + scope

    Re: Sub $1000 mildot 20x + scope As for point 4 - is 50mm better? I imagine that 50mm vs 40mm would allow better low light shooting. I was looking at a Vortex viper scope and even though it was a 32x max the mil dot was only accurate at 14x. Is there any point going above 14x if I want to...
