    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    Ohhhhh get a '06. I have a t3x Lam and like it lots. It's in 308. Bad shoulder stops me from anything that kicks harder. Since all the Tikka actions are long you may as well get the longer 06 and get couple hundred foot pounds more energy.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Any magic juju oil or bore conditioner that will prevent rust in my Tikka t3x Compact .223 bore? Other than clean it soon after shooting it I don't have any clues what to do.

    Stainless vs Carbon rifles

    Farm/hunt/shtf all around rifle. I know some folks like a carbon action. Wondered why, stronger? Smoother? I have some ARs but to make a short story long I'm disabled and have multiple farms I want to hunt from the front seat of my car. So not wanting to have a AR up front where folks might get...

    WOA accuracy issues, my experience… (update 9/24/2023)

    This was going on a "slow" build months and months. But I got it yesterday and it sure passes the look test inside and out.

    Lightest accurate bolt action?

    I have a older 1416 that tips the scales at 5.5 pounds. With a pretty quiet 23 inch barrel. The newer 64 actions seem thicker stocked and weighed in about 6 pounds. I"m a disabled guy in a wheelchair so weight is a issue for me. For the weight to accuracy nothing has matched my older slim...

    Another Borescope “what is this?”

    Ok I'm going to say something stupid, I think some of these places are cause by insects/spiders crawling into the bore and dying or whatever and the acid from their bodies causes even good SS to start to corrode.

    Low recoil round to 1k

    I'm a small guy with Brittle bone disease and I shoot 308. Here is some of my free advice. Since she already has a 308 look to lowering that rifles recoil first. Load 155 bergers with a moderate charge of powder. Add weight to her rifle. 2 pounds makes a world of difference in felt recoil...

    Air Rifle Curious

    If your new to air guns the first one to get would be a Beeman R7/HW 30 in .177. It is a springer that is so much fun to shoot. Once you have one you can get others but that is such a great first air gun.
