Wildcat moderators (UK) have adapters at the rear that you can swap out for different barrel diameters. I like the reflex design to reduce length, being able to dismantle them for cleaning is very handy too.
I'd be interested to see how much reflex volume it takes to equal the performance of just one more baffle. I talked to AB a couple of years ago about additional reflexes and they said the can is submitted to the ATF specific to the reflex you opt for during purchase.
HOW can you have a name and picture as an ode to Ron Swanson and not be able to take off a Tikka barrel?!?
Ron is so disappointed.

I'm sure Ron would... and I see you posted 6 of yours have been cake. Neither of mine are budging, and that plus the sporter lite barrels being a huge PITA to not have slip means its much easier for me to pay a smith (my guns are 10 yrs old, re: your hypothesis the new ones might be easier).
I also know every time this topic comes up a few people come out of the woodwork saying it was super easy for them and the rest of the internet that has trouble are idiots.
I should have been smarter than to post a simple request for first hand experience with a gunsmith on a gun forum.
I use a toilet paper cardboard roll around the barrel to help gription.
Until I started using a breaker bar to help tighten the barrel clamp (actuall, a big ass socket handle and a 48” iron pipe) the barrels still slipped

Toilet paper roll didn’t work for me, but tightening the ever luvin’ shit outta the vise worked, and a piece of leather made it easier. I definitely saw my SAC modular vise flex, and thought of (again) the motorcycle mantra, “steel is real.”
Steel (or ductile cast iron) vises are the real deal. Aluminum versions are much lighter duty…I mean, my SAC is swell for normal torque values but christ, the Tikka gorillas
really pushed my SAC to its limits.
Has anyone used the AR stock adapter for their ACE yet? Looking for pictures of it installed. Thinking about putting an mdt stock on an ace since the oem one doesn't really seem that good imo
Hello.
Does anyone has problem like mine has (new Ace 6.5 creedmoor)?
Sometimes bolt does not close as easy as should and bolt throw has somewhat differebt throw angle and my cerakoted surface does not look nice after first 25 shots. Using Sako Range factory ammo.
Would you return the gun for warranty repair?

And done.. for now! The stippling idea got tossed for quick and cheap using grip tape, and finished it off with some reverse multicam black-ish Cerakote. Its no @Hennig work of art but certainly wont get lost in the rack. Its still a shooter with 108 ELD-M's it would seem, for a tube almost near its midlife.
Here is one that started life as a T3 in .243, toasted the barrel around 1600-1700 rounds.
6mm Creed, Osprey (non-prefit) 3b, 1-7" finished at 19", threw it in a Peak 44 Bastion. Ended up painting the barrel and adding some texture to the grip and forearm.

Mate for the money its pretty good for a chinesium OEM scope. Good solid turret adjustments, tracks, good versatile reticle for holds. my only gripes are that the Magnification adjustment is very stiff, and it has a bot of CA at 16x in bright sunlight. But for a budget rig it fits the bill.
