    Tikka CTR vs Superlite (Practice/Volume Gun & Hunting Rifle)

    I have a T3x Lite in 6.5 Creed and it's a great rifle. It's currently stock with a few hundred dollar scope on it and it shoots ragged holes at 100. I noticed groups open up after 5-8 rounds but still hold fine. Maybe 1/2" increase I'd say. The CTR is a better rifle for the range but not...

    Rifle Scopes Who makes the best rail for a Tikka T3X?

    Look at DNZ Game Reaper. I run it on a few high recoiling rifles and it's rock solid. I got the lapping tool and compound out for both of them, one pass and they're completely bare - they don't need to be lapped. All reviews on them are stellar. Go to their website and you can build them to...

    Fast Twist .270 Winchester

    Can't help with fast twist .270 barrel info - don't think many people will have much experience on that but I'd certainly be interested. I don't really get the shut out on .270. The .270 Win when I (as a novice) compare the charts side by side with the "hot" "favorites" out there, like the...

    I too have a Remington 700 LA that's stock with factory barrel. I'm wondering if continuing to spend money on it is worth it vs just selling it and going with a Tikka T3x setup would be best. Gunsmithing costs are pretty steep and certainly would point to going Tikka or even Custom if you're...

    Rifle Scopes FFP Scope for PSR

    I was reading along when I saw how $1500 won't go very far in this realm. I'm not disagreeing with the poster but man...At the $200 level you have people saying step up to $500 for an SWFA. At the $500 level you have people saying step up to a $1000 for a Gen II Viper (Or similar). At the...

    New User, New Rifle. Looking For Recommendations and/or Advice

    I would go with a Tikka CTR or Tac A1. Advantage to CTR is you can pick what chassis or stock you want and can modify from there, plus most aftermarket chassis take standard mags whereas the Tac A1 takes propriety and pricy Tikka's (But you do get 2 of them and 1 more after you register or...

    Will you get a better deal on an Athlon scope by calling Doug? Or are they bottom dollar as priced?

    Rifle Scopes Budget scope options

    Midas TAC was what I decided on a few months ago but looks like they've updated it/added new Athlon models so will have to keep narrowing down.

    Rebarrel Tikka or trade for MPA BA?

    Honestly, I think a Tac A1 re-barreled with a Bartlein Gain Twist or similar would drop you sub 1/2 MOA if you really do your part and probably consistent 1/2 MOA gun. Lowlight did it with his, went to 22" and picked up ~115 FPS on average and his accuracy improved. Considering stock Tac A1s...

    Cost of gunsmith installing a barrel on R700?

    Wow, $450 is steep, that's just for install? I know it would depend on the smith. I googled some pricing before I made this thread and seems I saw pricing around $100-$200 for a barrel install.
