Thanks! It’s been my main hunting gun since 2014. It’s seen Ak, WY, Co, Tx, and Wisconsin so far. It just got a face lift from @LongRifles Inc. (Barrel cut/thread/Bolt fluting/Cerakote). The barreled action and bolt have been Colt coyote since 2014. I don’t remember who did that coating.

300WM cut to 21.75 Threaded to 9/16x24 Barreled action is Colt Coyote cerakote Bolt is fluted and Sniper grey BC stock Talley rings Vortex LHT 3-15x44 Weight includes a Bultler creek mountain sling and a 3rd empty mag. 8#14oz with my omega direct threaded

This is the scope I have been waiting for. My main hunting rig is a 21.5" 300win mag Tikka(90% can 10% brake). Right now it has an LHT 3-15; this is an upgrade I will make asap.

Haven’t been behind a bolt gun since last November. Nice to see the 260 is still driving tacks. LHT 3-15x50 zeroed up in 5rds. The 3-15x44 that was on it is going to end up on my 300 when it gets home from LRI.

For sale a like new FDE KRG Bravo for a T3 with AI mags. $350 OBO shipped to the lower 48. PayPal no fees or +3%. Comes with an extra section of m-Lok rail and the 5 mm extended bit.

Thanks!

Now I just need to wait for stainless lites to ever come back in stock. That will give me plenty of time to pick a caliber... 223,22-250, or 243? I’m set up to load all 3. 223 is the most economical choice. But that’s pretty well handled by my gas gun. 22-250 is fun, and an 8 twist would be...

I've had 2 done. No clearance issues. The coating is wearing off on the 300 I had done in 2014 but its had a rough life. The barrel and action look perfect. The 270 I had done in 2018 looks great. That one was spiral fluted which seemed to help the wear. For the money I would have LRI...

Right! Those rifles don't interest me at all. IMO the thing that made tikka as popular as they are is the fact that they were a solid/inexpensive base rifle to change as you go. That's what I have done on the 5 I have owned.

Looking through my notes I think 16 is the longest 223/556 I’ve ever had. Hopefully Hornady Superformance or a 55gr clone should scare 3000fps. The length is simply due to wanting it to be as short as possible with a suppressor. A trainer and a walk around coyote rifle. 17.5 would put me at...

I will be going 1/2x28 direct thread. That’s the standard thread pitch for 223. Either running a 1/2x28 end cap or a shouldered 1/2x28-5/8-24 adaptor rockseted in place. Probably the latter.

What magazines are you using? What does the set up weigh? I’m thinking of throwing a stainless light barreled action in a bravo chassis. Then cutting the barrel to 16 and threading it for a suppressor..
