Afternoon gents, It's been a while, but have considered getting back into precision shooting. As part of the effort, I picked up an old Mark 4 at a police auction. The scope came with Mark 4 rings, and a top ring rail of some kind. I haven't a clue what it is. I figure if anybody would...

Do you happen to have a resource that shows the countours of factory Tikka rifles? I guess that's really the heart of my question.

It's been much too long (years) since I've done any precision shooting, and I'm uncertain whether I have the time to get back into it . . . but I did line up an Elk hunt out to CO next year, and I'd like to pick up a Tikka to take out there. I'm partial to the 7MM Rem Mag, and my plan is to...

All ya gotta do to play is to describe where Waldo is, and then post a new pic where Waldo is hidden.

I'm building a Rem. 700 SA with an 18" Bartlein. I'd like it to be compact for back-packing and other travel, so I'm looking for a folding stock. I don't have an opportunity to try any of them out, an they're all a bit pricey, so I'm looking to tap some of the expertise on this site. So . . ...

I'm not entirely certain where to put this, but does anybody know anything about this? U.S. super-snipers: 'Smart' rifles tested by military could be game-changer - Washington Times

I've got a question for someone who's owned many P220s (Sorry if this is hijacking the thread). Last year, I picked up a nice looking P220, two-tone with night sights. This is going to sound terrible, but I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, so it remains unfired. My intention, however...

Count me in. Beautifully generous idea!

Money isn't as much of an issue as having a usable rifle that I'm very proud of.

I picked up an FNH SPR A5M on trade a year or so ago, always intending to get some custom work done to it. It's currently sporting the original 24" heavy varmint (bigger actually) barrel. I imagine it to be blissful to shoot at the range, at which it will spend most of it's time. But I'd...

Sorry about that E. Bryant Thank you for taking the time to respond anyway.

Okay, so I know I'm going to get some negative feedback about this, as variables, today, are quite good. I just have a preference for a nice 10X scope for range play. Here's the order of importance for me: 1 - Glass 2 - Durability 3 - Mil/Mil with repeatable adjustments 4 - A good...

I think by watching that trailer, I've just been added to a list somewhere. Thanks!
