    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    Are you on rokslide? There’s a barrel vise/action wrench tool sharing thread primarily based around tikkas where you just pay the price of shipping. Easy peasy. My NRL gun has a 24” CTR takeoff barrel I paid $170 for. Shoots great. Doesn’t have $400 worth of makeup (fluting, paint) because it’s...

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Anyone know if gunwerks cams use similar threads to any of existing offerings? Got a cert at a match today but I’m not sure I really want any of their cans if I can’t stick a recoilx on it.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I’d think it’d be pretty close. Only shot my recoilx on nomad xc on a 24” 6.5 creed with ears on and I’d agree probably a litttle louder than I’d expect my g1 U7 to be but wasn’t as loud as I expected. Would be a long bitch on a L though. I won’t use it on my moderate hunting guns but might if I...

    Devildog Hog 6.5 Creedmoor feed problem. Ideas?

    Well, these google machines should show you the anatomy of a chamber and what it should look like through a borescope if you look a bit. For starters, if there is something in the chamber making big ass gouges in the brass shoulders, it should be evident. For looking at why your bullets are...

    Devildog Hog 6.5 Creedmoor feed problem. Ideas?

    What a mess. Your bullets shouldn't look like that and your cases shouldn't either. I'd want to borescope it but assuming you dont have one of those?

    KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

    Man, I like my 624 from 2015 or ‘16. If anyone has a mint gen 3 that they’d take less than $1500 for because of all the new stuff, I’ll pay that for another!

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I’m aware of the different mil dimensions used. This scope was supposedly after the change and it was off in the opposite direction. Honestly that was the least of my concerns, click error was consistent across adjustment tested so could have been handled within DOPE and/or ballistic calculator.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I know you get off on all the finer points of rifle scopes, i just want ones that do the basics well. When it came to the basics, the 3-24x52 I had sucked. Sure, the form factor was nice, image quality was pretty solid (below 20 as you say), turrets were great. But when you can dick around for...

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    They sure make em sound nice on the internet but they did with the 3-24x52s back when as well. And that was a $3k POS. Fool me once..

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope suggestions

    Maven rs1.2. Mag range, function, a reticle that’s actual decent at low power, reasonable price. I’d happily trade my LRTS and LRHS2 for another but haven’t quite justified the upcharge. It’s like an improved version with better reticle and mag range for hunting.

    Favorite Trainer Round

    Have you tried Norma? This stuff has been solid for the price. Good enough for practice for me. https://rivertownmunitions.com/product/norma-6-5-creedmoor-130-grain-golden-target-match-hpbt-20-rd-box-200-rd-case-x-2-free-shipping-400-rds-total/...

    Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

    I finally got myself a 550 and am going to need to buy more tool heads. Armanov seems good but most of my seating dies are Forster micrometer and I’ve read that the armanov toolheads may be a bit thick for some of those seating dies? UniqueTek? Jofer? Whidden? I’ve got analysis paralysis on...

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    Do you know bore diameter and groove count? I know early on it seemed like they started with 6 groove 0.236" bores before adding 0.237 bore. Same with 0.218 vs 0.219 bores.
