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.

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...

Looking at getting a Tikka t3x 223. Cant decide between the SS and the carbon steel compact. What do you like about carbon steel actions/barrels over SS if anytng? Thanks!

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.

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...

Arggggggggh me WOA barrel I ordered on the 19th just walked the plank into the post office. Arggggh. Sorry I derailed the thread and didn't hurl any insults 20" threaded and fluted. Wilson blank (I guess) 1-8 twist. Me rifle fer them seagulls always a poopin' on me poop deck......Argggggggh

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.

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...

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.

yes as new in the box with all the papers.

My 52c sporter was one of the last ones made here by winchester and it very normal straight grain to it. In fact I think the 75 sporters had a better chance of nice grain wood than the 52 sporters. Not sure why. Just my experiance looking at many of them at gun shows in the last 40 years.

Check your barrel screws that hold it to the receiver. One time one of mine was loose.

BKL rings work fine on my CZ 457s

God bless you and your family and give them comfort in this time of grief.
